Belarus: Protesters rally against closer Russia ties as Putin and Lukashenko in Sochi
More than 1,000 people took to the streets of Belarus on Saturday to protest against closer ties with Russia as President Vladimir Putin hosted his Belarusian counterpart, Alexander Lukashenko, in the Russian city of Sochi. Longtime ruler Lukashenko was meeting with Putin to discuss "key issues in our bilateral relations, including the prospects for deepening integration," according to the Kremlin. Frustrated by the apparent ties between the two nations, crowds gathered and headed towards the government headquarters in Minsk brandishing signs that read "It's not integration, it's an occupation" and "The president is selling our country."

‘Give me a few hours’: How Eisenhower, armed with only a typewriter, planned the U.S. response to Pearl Harbor
At almost the exact moment hundreds of Japanese planes dropped armor-piercing bombs on Pearl Harbor — killing thousands of Americans and damaging eight battleships in a deadly surprise attack — Brig. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower decided to take a nap. Eisenhower, as usual, was working through the weekend. But around noon on Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941, he yawned and shoved aside the paperwork spilling across his desk in San Antonio, where he served as chief of staff for troops stationed at Fort Sam Houston.
