On this date in history:
In 334 B.C., Alexander the Great defeated Persian King Darius III at
Granicus, Turkey.
In 1868, seven members of the Reno gang stole $98,000 from a railway car at
Marshfield, Ind. It was the original "Great Train Robbery."
In 1924, the discovery of the body of Bobby Franks, 13, of Chicago led to
the arrest of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. They were sentenced to 99
years in prison for the so-called "thrill killing."
In 1987, a tornado flattened Saragosa, Texas, population 185, killing 29
residents and injuring 121.
In 1991, Soviet President Gorbachev asked the world's industrialized nations
for $100 billion in economic loans and grants to bolster the Soviet economy.
In 1992, Johnny Carson ended his nearly 30-year career as host of "The
Tonight Show" with what NBC said was the highest-rated late-night TV show
ever.
In 1993, France, Great Britain, Russia, Spain and the United States approved
a joint policy calling for a negotiated settlement of the war in Bosnia.
However, the Muslim president of Bosnia rejected negotiations the next day.
In 1994, a tougher U.N.-approved economic embargo against Haiti took effect.
In 1998, a federal judge ruled that members of the U.S. Secret Service could
be required to testify before a grand jury investigating President Clinton's
relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
Also in 1998, voters in Ireland and Northern Ireland approved a plan to
