• On Feb. 14, 278 A.D., Valentine, a priest in Rome, is executed for defying Emperor Claudius II and performing marriages in secret. Claudius believed that Roman men were unwilling to join his army because of their attach- ment to their families, and banned all marriages. Today, we celebrate Feb. 14 as Valentine’s Day. • On Feb. 13, 1633, Italian philoso- pher, astronomer and mathematician Galileo Galilei arrives in Rome to face charges of heresy for advocating that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Galileo remained under house arrest until his death in 1642. • On Feb. 19, 1777, the Continental Congress votes to promote five men to major general, but overlooks Ben- edict Arnold, who felt slighted and threatened to resign. In 1780, Arnold became the most famous traitor in American history when he offered to hand over West Point to the British. • On Feb. 16, 1894, gunslinger John Wesley Hardin is pardoned after spending 15 years in a Texas prison for murder. Hardin was reputed to have shot and killed a man just for snoring and had probably killed at least 40 people. • On Feb. 17, 1904, Giacomo Puc- cini’s opera “Madame Butterfly” premieres in Milan, Italy. The audi- ence responded with hissing and yell- ing. Four months later, a reworked “Madame Butterfly” opened to applause, repeated encores and 10 cur- tain calls. • On Feb. 15, 1965, a new Canadian national flag is raised in the capital of Ottawa. In 1964, the Canadian Parlia- ment had voted to adopt a new design, a white background with a stylized 11-point red maple leaf in its center. • On Feb. 18, 2001, NASCAR driv- er Dale Earnhardt Sr. dies at age of 49 in a last-lap crash at the Daytona 500. While vying for third place in his famous black No. 3 Chevrolet, Earn- hardt collided with another car, then crashed into a wall. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
