September 11-12, 1977: Steve Biko, South African anti-apartheid activist, was assassinated in prison by prison guards. One of the preeminent voices of the anti-apartheid struggle, Steve Biko, leader of the South African Black Consciousness Movement stressing black pride and self-determination, was beaten unconscious on September 11 and shackled, naked, in the back of a van. Instead of taking him to a hospital, the van was driven 700 miles from Port Elizabeth to Pretoria. Biko, who had been arrested three weeks earlier, died from multiple injuries on September 12.

Sinatra's Gaming Licence revoked;

....... And the stars came to see Sinatra. "He was actually the king of Las Vegas, because the minute he stepped in town, money was here," says veteran Las Vegas lounge singer Sonny King, a longtime friend of Sinatra. "He drew all the big money people. Every celebrity in Hollywood would come to Las Vegas to see him, one night or another."
And the Sands became his playground. Part of it was loyalty, part of it business. "Sinatra's allegiance to Jack Entratter was because (at the Copacabana club) Jack stood by him through all his troubles," says veteran lounge singer Freddie Bell.
Entratter also was, King notes, "the first guy to give them points in the hotel. If you messed up and didn't show up, you would lose money." Within weeks of his first engagement, Nevada gaming authorities approved Sinatra's application to buy 2 percent of the Sands for $54,000. By 1961, Sinatra owned a reported 9 percent share of the hotel, valued at $380,000.
As the Rat Pack charmed Eisenhower-era America separately and together through every available forum -- radio, television, movies and nightclubs -- the Strip continued its expansion. By the end of the '50s, the Tropicana, Dunes, Stardust and Riviera had joined the horizon, while older hotels expanded.
The shining pop culture moment for both Sinatra and the city came with the "Summit at the Sands," held from Jan. 26 through Feb. 16, 1960, playing on a summit meeting in Paris between President Eisenhower, Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev and French President Charles De Gaulle.
For the Rat Pack, the legendary showroom nights -- performing all together or in various combinations -- anchored filming of "Ocean's Eleven." The caper comedy was produced by Sinatra's own Dorchester Productions as a vehicle for the entire Rat Pack. The gang now included Peter Lawford, convenient in an election year when Sinatra was enamored of Lawford's famous in-law, Sen. John F. Kennedy.
The routine became famous: Two freewheeling, seltzer- spraying shows each night in the Copa Room, followed by a 2 a.m. sojourn in a carefully guarded Sands lounge, where the boys would invariably end up onstage again. Then sleep -- depending upon when the filming schedule required a couple of hours on the set from one or more of the stars. Around 5 p.m. everyone convened in the steam room.
"Nothing has ever, or will ever, compare to that evening," Gov. Bob Miller recalls of the Rat Pack show he saw as a teen-ager. "That was clearly the best show in the history of this community." The magic was fueled by the Camelot spirit of the election year, capped by a visit from JFK himself on Feb. 8.
But Kennedy's November 1963 assassination began to close the door on the era. Vietnam, civil unrest and the Beatles would change the face of pop culture.
A month earlier, on Sept. 11, 1963, the Nevada Gaming Control Board had recommended that Sinatra's gambling license be revoked for allowing Chicago crime boss Sam Giancana to visit the Cal-Neva Lodge at Lake Tahoe. Nevada had published a "List of Excluded Persons," who were not allowed in casinos even as customers, and Giancana was infamously on that list.
Sinatra "never could understand" the stigma of friendship with Giancana, said Phyllis McGuire, who was Giancana's girlfriend during the controversy. "He'd been friends with the boys for years, ever since he needed to get out of his contract with Tommy Dorsey."
Sinatra surrendered his casino license at the Cal-Neva and agreed to sell his interest in the Cal-Neva casino and in the Sands.
