Today is Thursday, Nov. 6, the 311th day of 2008. There are 55 days left in the year.

On Nov. 6, 1860, former Illinois congressman Abraham Lincoln defeated three other candidates for the presidency.

Today's Birthdays: Director Mike Nichols is 77. Actress Sally Field is 62. Pop singer-musician Glenn Frey (The Eagles) is 60. TV host Catherine Crier is 54. California's first lady, broadcast journalist Maria Shriver, is 53. Actress Lori Singer is 51. Actress Kelly Rutherford is 40.

Picture of the Day: These are actual photos of 71- year-old Cathie Jung. Connie is in the Guiness Book of World Records for having the world's smallest waist. It's 15 inches - about the size of regular jar of Mayonaise. Her astonishing (disturbingly ridiculous?) 39-15-39 figure is the result of spending the last 25 years laced into tight corsets, which only come off when she showers.
