December Highlights and Holidays

During December we recall numerous world events:  Napoleon's
1804 coronation; the Wright Brothers' first powered flight;
the first performance of "Peter Pan" (in 1904) and
the attack on Pearl Harbor.  Learn the details of those, and
other events, in this summary of December Highlights.
