  • Bobby Baker, who had been a chief adviser to Lyndon Johnson when the President had been the Majority Leader in the U.S. Senate, was indicted by a federal grand jury for theft, tax evasion, and misappropriation of about $100,000 in contributions to Johnson's political campaigns.[32] The U.S. Justice Department investigation of Baker had started in late 1963, when Johnson had been Vice-President, but had halted after the Kennedy assassination elevated Johnson to the presidency and was not renewed until after Johnson's election in 1964. Baker would not be convicted until five years later, after Johnson had left office.[33]
  • Because of the poor quality of the sound recording of their August 15 concert at Shea Stadium, The Beatles went into a studio and re-recorded most of their songs for dubbing in a TV documentary; crowd noises were dubbed in as well to make the film seem like the original performance. "But what you see in the film," an author would later write, "is what happened that night, and the thrill of the event is clear."[34]
  • Died: Gian Gaspare Napolitano, 58, Italian film director and screenwriter

January 6, 1966 (Thursday)

  • The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) became the first African-American civil rights organization to publicly oppose the Vietnam War. "We are in sympathy with, and support, the men in this country who are unwilling to respond to a military draft which would compel them to contribute their lives to United States aggression in Vietnam in the name of the 'freedom' we find so false in this country", the SNCC statement read in part. "We take note of the fact that 16 percent of the draftees from this country are Negroes called on to stifle the liberation of Vietnam, to preserve a 'democracy' which does not exist for them at home. We ask, where is the draft for the freedom fight in the United States?"[35]
  • Singers Jerry Garcia and Phil Lesh, who had performed as "The Warlocks", appeared for the first time under their new name, the Grateful Dead. The occasion was the fifth, and largest up that time, of the "Acid Test" concerts, where over 2,000 patrons listened to music, many while under the influence of the hallucinogen LSD, and the venue was the Fillmore in San Francisco, California. Garcia and Lesh had appeared at the first of the Acid Tests on November 27, 1965.[36]
  • All 47 people on board the Windjammer Cruises schooner Polynesia were rescued after the ship ran aground on a reef 15 nautical miles (28 km) south of Bimini, Bahamas.

Aswan Dam
  • The foundation stone for the Aswan Dam was laid down in Egypt in a ceremony presided over by United Arab Republic President Gamel Abdel Nasser. The flooding that would follow would require the moving of 50,000 residents, mostly Nubian, from the city of Wadi Halfa.[52]
  • Seven sailors on board a Chinese landing craft mutinied, but in the ensuing gun battle only three people, all defectors, survived. Taiwan President Chiang Kai-shek proclaimed the three mutineers as heroes, and sent a Defense Ministry seaplane to transport them from Matsu. As the seaplane was flying back to Taiwan, Chinese MiG jets intercepted it and shot it down, killing everyone on board.[53]
  • Tom Hayden, Herbert Aptheker and Staughton Lynd, returned to the United States after being the first Americans to be invited to tour North Vietnam. Despite the trip being illegal, the three were not charged nor were their American passports confiscated.[54]

Pakistan and India ceasefire
  • The Tashkent Declaration was signed in the city of Tashkent in the Soviet Union's Uzbek SSR at 4:00 p.m. local time, by Prime Minister Shastri of India and President Ayub Khan of Pakistan, bringing an end to the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. The two warring nations agreed that, by February 25, they would withdraw their armed personnel to the same locations that they had held on August 5, prior to the war's start. Prime Minister Shastri would pass away during the night in Tashkent, before his scheduled return to India.[25][59][60]
  • Vernon Dahmer, 57, African-American civil rights leader, was murdered at his home near Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the day after he had announced that he would begin a voter registration drive for black residents of Forrest County. White supremacists used gasoline bombs to burn his home; his wife and 10-year-old daughter escaped; Dahmer died of his injuries at the Hattiesburg Hospital.[61] On August 21, 1998, after 32 years and four trials that ended in a mistrial, Samuel H. Bowers, who had been the Imperial Wizard of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, would be convicted of ordering the murder and sentenced to life in prison.[62]
  • The House of Representatives of the U.S. state of Georgia voted, 184 to 12, to bar Julian Bond from taking the 136th District seat to which he had been elected in November. Bond, the first African-American to be elected during the 20th Century, was refused on the grounds that he had written the recent statement by the SNCC opposing the Vietnam War and that, as such, he could not validly swear to support the constitutions of the United States and Georgia. In 1967, the United States Supreme Court would rule that the denial of Bond's seat was an unconstitutional denial of his right of freedom of speech.[63]
  • After departing from Norfolk, Virginia, United States, with a shipment of grain bound for Barcelona, the Spanish cargo ship Monte Palomares sank in the Atlantic Ocean 900 nautical miles (1,700 km) north east of Bermuda, killing 31 of her 38 crew.[64] The grain ship's cargo had shifted as it was rocked in a fierce storm, causing the ship to list and then to sink. The American freighter Steel Maker rescued four men, and the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Escanaba saved the others.[65]
  • Heavy rains began in Brazil, causing the worst flooding in the 401-year history of Rio de Janeiro, and causing landslides that swept away entire neighborhoods inhabited by the city's poorest residents. When the downpours ended after four days, at least 363 people had been killed in the Rio de Janeiro State, with 193 bodies recovered from the city slums, 100 in the nearby city of Petrópolis, and 70 others in the surrounding countryside.[66]

  • Police in Beverly Hills, California, United States, foiled a plot to kidnap millionaire tire executive Leonard Firestone, but inadvertently killed the informant who had alerted them to the plot.[77] George Skalla had tipped off police that his friend, William Calvin Bailey, was planning to invade Firestone's home, then hold the business leader for a two million dollar ransom. Firestone and his family were safely away, and four police officers were waiting at his mansion when Bailey and Skalla, who police said was afraid to back out of the plan, arrived. Skalla was instructed not to wear a mask and to drop to the floor as soon as he and Bailey entered the house, but when Bailey aimed a pistol at the police, they opened fire and killed both men.[78]
  • In an episode in the second season of the U.S. television show Bewitched, the fictional character "Tabitha Stevens" was born.[79][80] The story arc of the pregnancy of TV character Samantha Stevens had been written to coincide with the pregnancy of actress Elizabeth Montgomery during 1965. Off screen, Montgomery and her husband, Bewitched producer William Asher, had become parents to a son, Robert Asher, born on October 5, 1965.[81]
  • The strike by New York City's public transportation workers ended after twelve days of traffic jams caused by the halting of subway and bus service.

  • Television was broadcast for the first time in the South American nation of Colombia as TV-9 TeleBogotá began transmitting at 6:30 in the evening and signed off at 10:15, following the scheduled seven days a week before expanding. Known as "Teletigre", the station debuted on TV Channel 9, with the live children's program Club del Zorro for 15 minutes, followed by the 30-minute women's program La Perfecta Ama de la Casa ("The Perfect Housewife").[85]
  • The crash of Avianca Flight 4 killed 56 of the 64 people on board. Shortly after the Douglas C-54 took off from the Colombian resort of Cartagena on a flight to Bogotá, the plane lost power and made a gradual descent into the Caribbean Sea, then sank in waters 12 feet (3.7 m) deep. Only eight people escaped drowning after water filled the cabin.[86][87]
  • The Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) asked aerospace industry officials for proposals on efficiently integrating equipment into the payload of Apollo spacecraft, including the Apollo Lunar Module and the S-IVB stage of the Saturn IB and Saturn V rockets.[9]

  • Died: Sergei Korolev, 59, Soviet rocket engineer who was chiefly responsible for the advances of the Soviet Union's space program in the 1950s and early 1960s, died during surgery for removal of a tumor in his colon. Korolev's importance had remained undisclosed by the Soviet press during his lifetime.[90] In an editorial a week later, The New York Times eulogized him by noting that "[D]eath has finally declassified the role and identity of Academician Sergei P. Korolev, the man who provided the scientific and technical leadership of the Soviet rocket program... Korolev's rockets were powerful enough to send men into orbit and to put cameras into position to photograph the back side of the Moon. But they were too weak to break the chains of secrecy that denied him, while he lived, the world applause he deserved...."[91]

Prime Minister Balewa
  • In Nigeria, a conspiracy referred to as "The Majors' Coup" because of the military rank of the coup leaders was carried out. Nigerian Prime Minister Abubakar Balewa, and the Northern State premier Ahmadu Bello and the Western State premier, Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola, were all murdered, along with Balewa's Finance Minister, Festus Okotie-Eboh. Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna led his officers into Balewa's residence in Lagos. Balewa had surrendered to the officers after being assured of his safety. When the coup attempt collapsed, Balewa was shot to death. President Nnamdi Azikiwe was out of the country at the time, taking a vacation on a cruise ship.[92]
  • Air-to-air combat in Vietnam took on a new dimension, when a U.S. Navy RF-8 reconnaissance airplane spotted a MiG-21 jet fighter with North Vietnamese insignia. Previously, the North Vietnam Air Force had had little success with MiG-17 fighters, which were slower and had fewer missiles than the American F-105 jets.[93]
  • The 1966 Five Nations Championship in rugby union began with a 3–3 tie between Scotland and France at Edinburgh, and an 11–6 win by Wales over England at London. Each of the national teams (the other was Ireland) would play each other once during the competition.

Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan in 1987[95]
  • The Chicago Bulls were granted an expansion franchise by the National Basketball Association (NBA), to begin play in the 1966–67 season as the NBA's 10th team.[96] In more than 50 years, the Bulls would be known for playing a major part in popularizing the NBA worldwide and for having Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen play for the team, both winning six NBA championships with the Bulls in the 1990s.[97][98]
  • One day after the military coup that killed many of the leaders in Nigeria during the absence of President Nnamdi Azikiwe, Acting President Nwafor Orizu announced to the nation that "I have tonight been advised by the Council of Ministers that they had come to the unanimous decision voluntarily to hand over the administration of the country to the Armed Forces of the Republic, with immediate effect." In that most of the government ministers had been hiding out of fear of assassination, there were few Council members present, but Orizu passed along the military statement that "All Ministers are assured of their personal safety by the new administration." Orizu finished by announcing that he would surrender the presidency to Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi.[99][100]
  • The Space Science Board of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences outlined research objectives for the 1970s and early 1980s in lunar exploration and planetary exploration. The Board recommended that uncrewed exploration of Mars should have first priority after the Apollo program ended, followed by probes to Venus and further studies of the lunar surface. Overall, uncrewed scientific research in space would have priority over missions with astronauts.[9]
  • The BBC began broadcasting a television adaptation of David Copperfield in the UK, starring Ian McKellen as the adult David[101] and Flora Robson as Betsey Trotwood.

  • Three hydrogen bombs were dropped on Spain near the coastal town of Palomares, and a fourth one fell into the deep ocean, after the B-52 bomber carrying them collided with a KC-135 refueling airplane. Fortunately, none of the bombs detonated, though each of the four Mark 28 thermonuclear warheads had a 70-kiloton yield. At 10:22 a.m. local time, the B-52 was flying at 31,000 feet (9,400 m) and preparing for a refueling in midair, but accidentally pitched upward and rammed the tanker plane, spilling jet fuel that ignited on both aircraft.[104] One of the H-bombs parachuted to the ground unscathed; two more fell at high speed, and the conventional explosives in their casing scattered radioactive plutonium over 558 acres (almost one square mile) of countryside; but the fourth H-bomb could not be located (a search would eventually discover it at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea in waters 2,250 feet (690 m) deep).[105] Fortunately, no nuclear explosion was triggered (a 70 kiloton bomb would have collapsed most houses within a 1-mile (1.6 km) radius) and the missing bomb did not fall under the control of forces hostile to the United States. All of the men on board the tanker were killed, and only four of the men on the B-52 were able to parachute to safety. Initial reports released to the press did not mention that the B-52 had been carrying thermonuclear bombs.[106]
  • A panel of executives of NASA and McDonnell Aircraft outlined plans for possible future Gemini missions. Gemini 8 was planned to have three periods of extravehicular activity (EVA or "space walks"), two in daylight, one in darkness, and would undock and then redock during the activity. EVA would include starting the S-10 (Micrometeorite Collection) experiment, retrieving equipment from the Agena target vehicle, and using power tools in space. Gemini 9 would include a simulated lunar module rendezvous and abort, and using the modular maneuvering unit, and parking the Gemini 8 and Gemini 9 Agenas. Gemini 10 would include rendezvous with a parked Agena and retrieval of the S-10 experiment.[107]
  • In Nigeria, the new Federal Military Government issued the Constitution Suspension and Modification Decree, replacing the elected local leaders and representatives with military governors who could issue edicts or enforce decrees.[108]
  • Born:
  • Died:
    • Newcomb Mott, 27, American book salesman who had been arrested on September 4, 1965, when he sneaked across the border between Norway and the Soviet Union. Mott had been convicted on November 24 of illegal entry into the country, sentenced to 18 months in prison, and was being transferred by train to a forced labor camp in Murmansk. Soviet authorities said five days later that Mott had committed suicide while on the trip.[109]

  • Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro and his coalition government resigned after the defeat in the Chamber of Deputies of a bill to establish government-funded nursery schools. When Deputies from the various coalition parties joined with Liberals, Fascists and Communists in voting against the measure, the Cabinet ministers viewed it as a vote of no confidence. Observers speculated that former Foreign Minister Amintore Fanfani had worked with different legislators in bringing about the vote, after having been forced to resign a month earlier.[126]
  • The Federal Bureau of Investigation discontinued further electronic eavesdropping of Martin Luther King Jr.. Associate Director Clyde Tolson reviewed a report from a listening device planted at the Americana Hotel, and wrote on it "Remove this surveillance at once"; FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover seconded the recommendation.[127]

  • Air India Flight 101, a Boeing 707-437 named for the Himalayan mountain Kanchenjunga, crashed into a ridge of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the French Alps, at 8:25 a.m. local time. All 106 passengers and 11 crew on board were killed.[141] On November 3, 1950, Air India Flight 245 had crashed in almost exactly the same spot. The jet, en route from Mumbai to New York City, had been at an altitude of 15,000 feet (4,600 m) as it approached for a landing at Geneva, when a violent snowstorm on the 15,771-foot (4,807 m) high Mont Blanc pulled the plane into the mountainside. Mountain climbers would find remains of the airplane as late as 2012, when a bag of diplomatic mail from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs was found by a rescue worker.[142]
  • Thirteen men were rescued from the disabled British tanker Chelwood Beacon about 15 miles (24 km) south of Manhattan, 1 1/2 miles east of Sandy Hook, New Jersey, where the 665-foot (203 m) tanker had run aground during a snowstorm the day before.[143][144]

  • The first crash of a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest airplane up to that time, occurred when pilot Bill Weaver and co-pilot Jim Zwayer were making a turn while flying Mach 3.18 at an altitude of 78,800 feet (24,000 m). The jet disintegrated around them, but the pilots' pressure suits and parachutes initiated automatically, and both landed on a cattle ranch in New Mexico. Weaver survived unharmed, but Zwayer had sustained a broken neck when the plane broke apart and died instantly.[147][148]

  • In a special by-election, Britain's Labour Party unexpectedly retained the parliamentary seat of Kingston upon Hull North, in voting fill the vacancy caused by the November 7 death of Henry Solomons. The by-election took on special importance because Labour had only a 316–313 majority over the opposition Conservative and Liberal parties. Labour made an all-out fight for the seat, including a promise by the Minister of Transport to build the Humber Bridge to shorten travel time within Hull.[153] To make matters worse, Conservative M.P. Edith Pitt died on the same day, leaving the Tories with only 312 seats.[154] Prime Minister Harold Wilson would call for a nationwide election soon after seeing the strength of the Labour win.
  • U.S. Senator Clinton P. Anderson, Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Aeronautical and Space Sciences, outlined the Committee's views of what NASA's goals should be after Apollo.

  • The "Luxembourg compromise" was reached between the six members of the European Economic Community (commonly called the "Common Market"), bringing France back into the EEC. Ultimately, the other members (West Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg) agreed to a French proposal that any one of the six nations would have the right of a veto over "decisions affecting the essential interests of one of the Member States."[162] The formal agreement was signed the next day and, because there was no definition of what would constitute "essential" interests, the EEC Council would not vote on any matters for the next three years.[163]
  • Heavy rains west of the Rocky Mountains turned into heavy snows toward the east, as record low temperatures, high winds and heavy snowfall struck from the United States and Canada from the Rockies to the East Coast.[164] By the time the storm eased, over 200 people had been killed in the U.S., half of them in the southeastern United States. Deaths attributable to the storm came from being frozen to death, dying in fires started while people were trying to heat their homes, from heart attacks while shoveling snow or pushing cars, or in traffic accidents caused by slick roads.[165]
  • A collision near Chandpur Port on the Padma River of East Pakistan, between a passenger ship and a steamship, killed 80 people and injured 38; almost 100 other people on the passenger launch, which had been traveling down the river from Faridpur.[166]

  • After a 37-day moratorium that had started on December 24, 1965, the United States resumed the bombing of North Vietnam and launched Operation Rolling Thunder. Among the first targets destroyed were a bridge at Đồng Hới, a highway ferry complex in Thanh Hóa Province, and barges near the city of Vinh.[169][170] In all, there were 58 air strikes that day, though only 10 were considered effective.[171]
  • The Soviet Union launched Luna 9 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 5:42 p.m. local time as a lunar probe that would deliver a capsule to a controlled landing on the Moon. The probe would transmit photographs back to Earth after descending into the Oceanus Procellarum on February 3.[172]
  • Died: Carolyn Mitchell (Barbara Rooney), 29, American actress and fifth wife of actor Mickey Rooney, was found dead at the Rooneys' home in Brentwood, California, only ten days after the two had legally separated. She had been the victim of a murder-suicide, shot by her boyfriend, Serbian film actor Milos Milosevic, who then committed suicide. The day before, Mrs. Rooney had visited her husband in the hospital and had discussed a reconciliation.[173]
