Alicia Rades Hidden Legends Biography & Facts

The following events occurred in October 1976: October 1, 1976 (Friday) Hurricane Liza killed more than 600 people in Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, striking the resort city of La Paz, Baja California Sur where 350 people died, and another 280 in the surrounding area. The U.S. state of California became the first in the United States to grant terminally ill hospital patients the right to the "living will", where they could opt to withdraw life-sustaining procedures if there was no hope of recovery. Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law after it had passed both houses of the California state legislature. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz was reprimanded by President Gerald Ford, after racist jokes and remarks that Butz had made against African-American people, were printed in the magazine New Times. Ford summoned Butz to the White House for "a rare public upbraiding of a Cabinet official" and Butz apologized to the lone black U.S. Senator, Edward Brooke. While most newspapers avoided quoting the joke directly, the statement was described as saying that black people wanted "only three things" and that "The things were listed, in order, in obscene, derogatory and scatological terms." The alcohol industry in the United States switched to the metric system in identifying the volume of liquor. Notably, the fifth, (1/5 of a U.S. gallon or 757 milliliters), was replaced by the 750 mL bottle and the pint bottle (1/8 of a gallon or 473 mL) was replaced by the 500 mL bottle. Born: Nasir al-Wuhayshi, Yemen-born terrorist and leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula (killed in drone strike 2015)October 2, 1976 (Saturday) Argentina's President Jorge Rafael Videla narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by guerrillas who had planted a time-bomb beneath the reviewing stand at the heavily guarded Campo de Mayo Army Base near Buenos Aires. Videla reviewed a parade of the base's troops and made a speech to mark "Army Communications Day", then left the area to inspect a display at a nearby building. Five minutes after the ceremonies ended and the reviewing stand had emptied, the bomb exploded, destroying the stand and the area on which the president had been standing. General Videla, who had continued living on the base after being installed as president, had preceded a speech by the base commander, General Jose Catan, who told the assembled soldiers that the Argentine armed forces were winning the battle against left-wing opponents and said that "the guerrillas have given up trying to attack military bases," a few minutes before the bomb exploded. Danny Thompson, a shortstop for baseball's Texas Rangers, played his final game, after having played for four seasons with leukemia. He died on December 10. Born: Anita Kulcsár, Hungarian women's handball national team line player; in Szerencs (d. 2005) Alexander Sevastian, Russian-born Canadian accordionist; in Minsk, Byelorussian SSR, Soviet Union (d. 2018) Died: Mary Poonen Lukose, 90, Indian gynecologist and former Surgeon General of the Kingdom of Thiruvithamkoor (now part of Kerala state) Gladys Leslie (stage name for Gladys Leslie Moore), 81, American silent film actress R. C. Anderson, 93, English historianOctober 3, 1976 (Sunday) Voting was held in West Germany for the 496-seat Bundestag (which had 22 additional, non-voting delegates representing West Berlin). Although Chancellor Helmut Schmidt's Social Democratic Party (SDP) lost 16 seats and its coalition partner, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) lost two, the coalition retained a 253 to 243 majority over Helmut Kohl's CDU/CSU (Christian Democrats and Christian Socialists). Baseball's career home run champion at the time, Hank Aaron, appeared in his 3,298th and final major league baseball game, finishing with a hit that drove in one run for the Milwaukee Brewers in a 5 to 2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. The game took place at Milwaukee County Stadium where Aaron had spent most of his career for the Milwaukee Braves. Born: Seann William Scott, American film and TV actor; in Cottage Grove, MinnesotaOctober 4, 1976 (Monday) The InterCity 125 high-speed train, so-called because it had an average speed of 125 miles per hour (201 km/h), was introduced in the United Kingdom as the fastest railroad service in the UK up to that time. The inaugural high-speed trip from London's Paddington station departed at 8:05 in the morning to Bristol.Barbara Walters began work as the first evening national news anchor in the U.S., working with Harry Reasoner as the co-anchor of ABC World News Tonight, still referred to at the time as ABC Evening News. A group of three gunmen from the Basque terrorist organization ETA carried out the assassination of Juan María de Araluce Villar, his chauffeur, and three policemen in an escort vehicle, as he was departing his home in San Sebastián. Araluce, a 59-year-old Basque economist and one of the 17 "Counselors of the Realm", was killed along with the others by submachine gun fire. Earl Butz resigned as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture after both Democrat and Republican politicians called for his departure over racist remarks that he had made. The U.S. Supreme Court voted not to reconsider its July 2 decision in Gregg v. Georgia, clearing the way for individual states to carry out death sentences imposed since the original ruling. U.S. President Gerald Ford signed the Tax Reform Act of 1976, a bipartisan bill that lowered taxes on corporations and extended payroll tax reductions that had already been in place. The Act reduced the overall tax burden in the U.S. by $18 billion. In addition, it made assignment of social security number mandatory for U.S. citizens for identification for state and federal services.
