36 YEARS AGO (1983) Philippines opposition leader Benigno Aquino was shot dead by troops loyal to dictator Ferdinand Marcos as he left the jet returning him from exile in the US.
108 YEARS AGO (1911) The Mona Lisa was stolen by Vincenzo Peruggia, a former Louvre worker who hid there overnight then walked out with the painting under his smock.
