Mohr Programs: Today at Mohr Library:

• Today's craft for students in grades 6 to 12 (starting at 2:30 p.m.) is making a candy corn garland in honor of Thanksgiving.
• Know what a thaumatrope is? (Don't Google it — it's a Victorian-era animation.) Tonight at 6:30 p.m., the folks from the Rhode Island Museum Science and Art are scheduled to lead a session teaching kids in grades 6 to 12 how to make one.

Help Our Returning Heroes: Local business owners and members of the military and their spouses are invited to today's "Hiring Our Heroes" job fair in Warwick.

Silence Speaks Louder: On this date in 1973, President Richard Nixon's attorney, J. Fred Buzhardt, told the Advisory Panel on the White House Tapes that there was an 18-minute gap in one of the recordings made of Nixon's coversations in the Oval Office. This episode served as the beginning of the end for Nixon, who later resigned.
