[Carole Bos]

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.
