TODAY IN HISTORY
On this date:
In 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed in France, ending
the First World War.
In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Alien
Registration Act, also known as the Smith Act, which required
adult foreigners residing in the U.S. to be registered and fin
gerprinted.
In 1968, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Uniform Mon
day Holiday Bill, which moved commemorations for Washing
ton’s Birthday, Memorial Day and Veterans Day to Monday,
creating three-day holiday weekends beginning in 1971.
In 1978, the Supreme Court ordered the University of Califor-
nia-Davis Medical School to admit Allan Bakke, a white man
who argued he’d been a victim of reverse racial discrimina
tion.
In 1997, in a wild rematch, Evander Holyfield retained the WBA
heavyweight boxing championship after his opponent, Mike
Tyson, was disqualified for biting Holyfield’s ear during the
third round of their fight in Las Vegas.
In 2013, the four plaintiffs in the U.S. Supreme Court case that
overturned California’s same-sex marriage ban tied the knot,
just hours after a federal appeals court freed gay couples to
obtain marriage licenses in the state for the first time in 4 1 /2
years.

CELEBRIS REPORT
Actor famous for playing
dad on ‘ALF/ dies at 75
Max Wright, the actor best known for por
traying the exasperated yet good-natured
father of the Tanner clan on the comedy
series “ALF,” has died at the age of 75.
Wright died Wednesday at his California
home after a lengthy cancer battle. Diag
nosed with lymphoma in 1995, Wright had
been in remission, according to people close
to the actor.
For four seasons, Wright drew laughs
as Willie Tanner, the harried homeowner
forced to deal with the kooky shenanigans
of a wisecracking alien named ALF — an
acronym for Alien Life Form — who crash-
landed into his garage from planet Melmac.
Among ALF’s more peculiar quirks was
his appetite for cats.
Wright got his start in theater, appearing
in the original production of “The Great
White Hope,” the 1969 Pulitzer Prize-win
ning drama starring James Earl Jones and
Jane Alexander.
He also landed supporting roles in major
films, including “All That Jazz,” “Reds” and
“The Sting II.”
Tribune News Service
Spacey hit with suit by man
who claims actor groped him
Scandal-plagued actor Kevin Spacey has
been hit with a civil lawsuit by the man
accusing the film star of groping him at a
Massachusetts bar.
Spacey is currently in the middle of a
criminal case stemming from that same
allegation, which the actor denies.
The new lawsuit accuses Spacey, 59, of
giving the accuser alcohol at a Nantucket
bar in 2016 before “touching and fondling”
his genitals, The Boston Globe reported.
Spears’ conservatorship
sues blogger for defamation
The conservatorship that oversees Brit
ney Spears’ personal life and career sued
the creator of a blog devoted to the pop
superstar Wednesday in an increasingly
aggressive effort to push back against
the so-called “Free Britney” movement,
which alleges the singer is being con
trolled against her will.
The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles alleges
Anthony Elia, who runs the website Abso
lute Britney, has falsely claimed the court-
ordered conservatorship has manipulated
Spears’ Instagram account to make her
appear more troubled than she actually is.
“It is time for the conspiracy theories
about Britney Spears’ well-being and the
mob #FreeBritney movement to stop,” the
lawsuit states in its opening line.
The suit alleges that Elia “has made it
his mission to spread false and malicious
lies on the internet about Britney, her con
servatorship and her team, including that
those around Britney are harming her and
not acting in her best interests.”

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
ARIES (March 21 -April 19).
This is a good day for making
contingency plans. Having a
backup plan makes you less
likely to need one. Relatedly,
don’t get so used to some
one’s help that you’d be lost
without it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Parasailing, roller coasters,
surfing — these thrill some but
you’ll be attracted to feats that
require a sort of courage more
native to your heart. The risks
are emotional and there’s a dif
ferent kind of payoff.
GEMINI (May 21-June21). This
is the best day of the week for
collaboration. The more minds
on your problem, the better
the solution will be. Brainstorm
sessions will be wild and free.
When they think small, you’ll
think big and vice versa.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Though you are more than
willing to sacrifice for the good
of others, should you always
have to? Your inherent good
ness is often enough in and of
itself — no extra work required.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
don’t owe anyone anything.
You don’t have to engage if
you don’t want to. You’re not
obligated in any way. This will
not always be the case, so sa
vor and take advantage of your
current autonomous position.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Immaturity is marked by an
assumption that “everyone is
like me.” Maturity recognizes
that people are different, with
various needs. The mature can
love, befriend, do business, af
fect the world in a way that the
immature cannot.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23).
You’re extraordinarily useful to
others now, so why not bank
on it? Someone needs your
skill set. When you find out
who could use you and then
make it easy for them to do so,
the money rolls in.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In
the same way that fish don’t
notice water, you’re so familiar
with your own environment
that you don’t see it for what
it is. Get out of it for a while
though and you’ll really appre
ciate all you’ve built.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Those who suffer as a
consequence of their own
actions deserve help and com
passion as much as anyone,
but they should be led to see
the correlation. Distinguish be
tween bad luck and the penalty
of folly.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You love a challenge, but not
just any challenge. A good fit
is important. You’re happiest
when you focus on the chal
lenges that are right for you
and not merely impressive to
others.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Graciousness is your default
mode. No one is born into this
level of benevolence and gen
erosity. You’ve had to work at
this, as anyone does. The work
gets easier, but it never ceases
to be necessary.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
The best thing about power is
that it puts one in a position
to do more good in the world.
You’re headed in that direction
with all that unfolds today and
the stellar way you handle it.
