(The couple also wed in a Jewish ceremony on July 1; the marriage lasted 4 1/2 years). On this date: In 1767, Britain approved the Townshend Revenue Act, which imposed import duties on glass, paint, oil, lead, paper and tea shipped to the American colonies. (Colonists bitterly protested, prompting Parliament to repeal the duties — except for tea.) In 1880, France annexed Tahiti, which became a French colony on December 30, 1880. In 1913, the Second Balkan War broke out as Bulgaria attacked Serbia and Greece, its former allies from the First Balkan War. In 1927, the irst trans-Paciic airplane light was completed as Lt.

In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a trio of death sentences, saying the way they had been imposed constituted cruel and unusual punish- ment.
