TODAY IN HISTORY On this date: In 1799, former President George Washington was eulogized by Col. Henry Lee as “first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” In 1908, Jack Johnson became the first African-American boxer to win the world heavyweight championship as he de feated Canadian Tommy Burns in Sydney, Australia. In 1944, during the World War II Battle of the Bulge, the em battled U.S. 101st Airborne Division in Bastogne, Belgium, was relieved by units of the 4th Armored Division. In 1947, heavy snow blanketed the Northeast, burying New York City under 26.4 inches of snow in 16 hours; the severe weather was blamed for some 80 deaths. In 1980, Iranian television footage was broadcast in the United States, showing a dozen of the American hostages sending messages to their families. In 1996, 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey was found beaten and strangled in the basement of her family’s home in Boulder, Colorado. (To date, the slaying remains unsolved.) In 2003, An earthquake struck the historic Iranian city of Bam, killing at least 26,000 people. Three snowboarders were killed in an avalanche in Provo Canyon, Utah. In 2006, former President Gerald R. Ford died in Rancho Mi rage, California, at age 93. BIRTHDAYS Actor Donald Moffat is 88. Actor Caroll Spinney (formerly Big Bird on TV’s “Sesame Street”) is 85.

CELEBRITY REPORT McCartney tells fans: Don’t be like me and eat too much Christmas message to his fans around the world: Don’t be like me and eat and drink too much. The 76-year-old former Beatle tweeted his lighthearted holiday wishes Tuesday illus trated with photos from his younger days. He says “don’t eat and drink too much! I know I will, but that’s no excuse for you” before wishing everyone a good holiday. He says “I hope you enjoy all your pres ents and I hope you remember the true meaning of Christmas, which is love and peace and being good to each other.” Roseanne Barr to address Israeli parliament in January Former television star Roseanne Barr says she will be traveling to Israel in January and has been invited to address the country’s parliament. Barr announced her visit to Israel on Mon day, saying her aim is to “further my own knowledge of Jewish and Israeli history” and speak out “against the insidious and anti-Semitic BDS movement.” BDS refers to a Palestinian-led movement calling for boy cott, divestment and sanctions of Israel. ABC canceled its reboot of “Roseanne” in May after Barr tweeted racist remarks about former Obama administration adviser Valerie Jarrett. Kevin Spacey is charged with groping a young man Kevin Spacey has been charged with grop ing the 18-year-old son of a Boston TV anchor in 2016 — the first criminal case brought against the Oscar-winning actor since his career collapsed amid a string of sexual mis conduct allegations over a year ago. Spacey, 59, is due in court Jan. 7 on the resort island of Nantucket to be arraigned on a charge of indecent assault and battery, Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O’Keefe said in a statement Monday. Spacey could get up to five years in prison if convicted. A criminal complaint was issued by a clerk magistrate at a hearing Thursday, O’Keefe said. Taylor Swift concert intruder arrested for San Diego killing A man who jumped onstage at a 2015 Taylor Swift concert in California has been arrested on suspicion of beating a man to death in San Diego. Police say 29-year-old Christian Ewing was arrested for a parole violation a few days ago and re-arrested Monday on suspicion of mur der. It’s unclear if he has an attorney. Authorities say Ewing attacked 57-year- old Gregory Freeman on Dec. 5 in the Midway area and beat him with an object. Freeman died three days later. Three years ago, Ewing sneaked into Swift’s concert at San Diego’s Petco Park and jumped onstage while she was performing. He was tackled by security guards, one of whom suffered a broken rib. Ewing pleaded guilty to assault and got two years’ probation.

Nothing gets in the way today unless you let it. With this phi losophy, you won’t cast your self in the role of the victim. Why would you? You’re able and you can always make a different choice. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll get to building a beauti ful and different kind of world, maybe only with one other person, but it still counts. It only takes one other person to create a society with you. GEMINI (May 21-June21). You long ago came to terms with the unfair nature of life. You’ll be reminded how some have been endowed with traits or circumstances that give them an advantage from birth, and you’ll do something to help the balance today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Extending compassion to yourself can be a difficult thing to do. It’s tempting to try to find out why this is so. But then again, maybe the reason doesn’t matter. Override it. Help yourself out. Forgive and love yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The art of the seating chart isn’t just for big parties and events. If there’s a way to arrange your life so as to place and group people elegantly, then you cer tainly will find it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you don’t get what you want right away, consider yourself lucky. This is where the real gold comes — in having to reach down deep into your own re sources and build something out of them to make your situa tion work. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). There was a time you thought it best to strictly follow the rules; you were young and this kept you safe. But if you continued in this way, you’d miss out on a great deal of life. Afford your self some slack. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You came into your convictions overtime, slowly forming and testing a belief system that made sense to you at many levels. In many ways you’re still assembling it, but what you’ve got already is certainly worthy of your defense. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s possible that trying to be better counts as actually being better, but it’s also pos sible that accepting yourself more fully is a faster route to your transformation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The more people involved in your vision, the harder it will be to keep it cohesive, but that’s OK for now. Pick one or two guiding principles and see what happens. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s not a correct way to look at things, but optimism does net different results than pessimism. You do not feel that your interests are at stake, and this allows you to feel effort lessly generous with others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s comfort in playing the old games you used to play, and yet there are new games, too. So while you may visit the glory days of the past, you won’t stay there.
