YOUR MORNING NEWS ROUNDUP

Sun Oct 20 2024

Good morning, Arizona. Here’s what our reporters are working on and what you should know about what’s happening across the state before you start your day.

Arizona power utilities have snagged federal funding for three projects designed to enhance the state’s electricity grid, largely in rural areas, and to add wildfire protections.

Phoenix-based Arizona Public Service received funding for two projects to reduce wildfire risks and implement “smart” monitoring technologies, while UNS Electric in Tucson received a grant to enhance the electrical grid in Santa Cruz County, in southeastern Arizona.

More about efforts to boost power grids.

Today in history

Here are just some of the events on this date in the past.

•	On this day in 1967: An estimated 4,000 protesters gathered in Oakland, California, to hold one of the largest demonstrations so far against the Vietnam War. The protest, part of a larger series known as “Stop the Draft Week” aimed at disrupting military induction centers, was a significant moment in the anti-war movement.
•	In 1968: Jacqueline Kennedy married multimillionaire Greek businessman Aristotle Onassis, ending nearly five years of widowhood following the assassination of her first husband, President John F. Kennedy.
•	In 1973: President Richard M. Nixon fired Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus in what was referred to as the “Saturday Night Massacre” during the Watergate scandal. Attorney General Elliot Richardson resigned. The firings led to a firestorm of political protest and widespread demands for Nixon’s impeachment.
•	In 1973: Australia’s iconic Sydney Opera House was ceremoniously opened by Queen Elizabeth II. A masterpiece of late modern architecture, designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, the venue became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
•	In 1977: A plane crash claimed the lives of several members of the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, including lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, who was 29 at the time. The plane ran out of fuel while taking the band from South Carolina to Louisiana.
•	In 2022: British Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned amid economic turbulence after just 45 days in office, making it the shortest PM tenure in U.K. history.
