February 21st is the fifty-second day in the Gregorian calendar. On this day Steve Fossett became the first person to cross the Pacific Ocean in a balloon; major figures in the Watergate scandal were sentenced to prison, and The New Yorker published its first issue. Famous February 21st birthdays include Nina Simone, David Foster Wallace, and Anais Nin. Today is National Sticky Bun Day.
