The U.S. House of Representatives votes 11 articles of impeachment against President Andrew Johnson, nine of which cite Johnson?s removal of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, a violation of the Tenure of Office Act. The House vote made President Johnson the first president to be impeached in U.S. history.

February 25, 1881...Tombstone, Arizona Territory...Charlie Storms got so drunk that he was hallucinating....Yep, he thought he was as good a gunman as gambler Luke Short. He pulled his gun and Luke Short pulled his gun. Charlie found out that he was not as good as Luke Short....although the revelation probably came a little too late to do him much good.

On February 25, 1964, underdog Cassius Clay, age 22, defeats champion Sonny Liston in a technical knockout to win the world heavyweight boxing crown. The highly anticipated match took place in Miami Beach, Florida. Clay, who later became known to the world as Muhammad Ali, went on to become the first fighter to capture the heavyweight title three times.

American drive-in movie theaters experienced their golden era during the 1950s, but some Floridians were watching movies under the stars in their cars even before then: The city of Miami gets its first drive-in on this day in 1938. The Miami drive-in charged admission of 35 cents per person, which was more than the average ticket price at an indoor theater, and soon had to trim the price to 25 cents per person.
