• On this day in 1919: President Woodrow Wilson suffered a near-fatal stroke that left him incapacitated until the end of his presidency in 1921.

• In 1950: Charles Schulz published his first “Peanuts” comic strip in seven U.S. newspapers – a renamed version of an earlier strip called “Li’l Folks.” Schulz died one day before his final Sunday strip was published Feb. 13, 2000. At that time, “Peanuts” was running in more than 2,500 newspapers in 75 countries with a readership that topped 350 million.
