Okay, this isn't a true "This Day in History," but since I'm such a Back to the Future fan boy, I thought it would be interesting to see what was happening in D.C. on November 5th, 1955 -- the date Marty arrives back in Hill Valley, after the Libyans kill Doc Brown (1.21 gigawatts!). I'll dig through the old Washington Post from that day and see what interesting (or banal) stories I can find from our city. By the way, November 5th, 1955 was a Saturday.
