Montana Man Sues Arizona Company For Dad's Frozen Head 

(Scottsdale, AZ) -- A Montana man is suing an Arizona-based cryonics company for the return of his dad's frozen head. The Great Falls Tribune reports that 57-year-old Kurt Pilgeram is seeking one-million dollars from Alcor Life Extension Foundation of Scottsdale, for what he calls the "mutilation" of his father, Laurence's, body. Pilgeram says his father paid the company 120-thousand dollars to preserve his body, hoping to one day be brought back to life, but they instead burned his body and sent him the ashes, keeping only the head. Alcor claims they performed their duty, and Pilgeram just wants life insurance the company received for the procedure. Both sides are claiming breach of contract in a California court.  

TODAY IN HISTORY:

2004, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a constitutional challenge to the Pledge Of Allegiance brought by a California atheist. The man, who sued on behalf of his elementary school-age daughter, said reciting the pledge's words "under God" in schools violated the separation of church and state. The high court said Michael Newdow didn't have the legal right to file suit on behalf of his daughter.

1951, Univac One was unveiled in Washington, D.C. It was billed as the world's first commercial computer.

1943, the Supreme Court ruled schoolchildren could not be forced to salute the American flag if it conflicted with their religious beliefs.
