VIDEO: The New York Public Library just opened an exhibition dedicated to J.D. Salinger, the author of the classic coming-of-age novel Catcher in the Rye. For the first time, the reclusive writer’s fans will be able to see his rare letters, manuscripts, photos and other personal items.

On This Day in American History
On November 1, 1952, the United States explodes the world’s first hydrogen bomb on the Eniwetok atoll in the Pacific Ocean. The thermonuclear weapon was about 1,000 times as powerful as the atomic bombs dropped on Japan to end World War II. The test gave the U.S. a brief advantage over the Soviet Union, but just a year later the USSR tested their first hydrogen bomb. By the late 1970s, seven countries had hydrogen bombs.

The FBI says it is investigating more than 2,000 cases tied to groups designated by the United States as foreign terrorist organizations, a figure that reflects the persistent threat posed by terrorist groups such as al-Qaida and Hezbollah.

Haitian National Police fired on protesters who attempted to keep them from removing a makeshift roadblock made of large tree branches and metal fences. The barriers blocked two entrances leading into the National Palace.

VIDEO: November marks 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Wall’s demise brought an end to a divided  Berlin and symbolized the eventual liberation of East Germany, and later the rest of Eastern Europe, from Soviet communist rule. Yet as VOA reports, while the Wall is long gone, it still casts a shadow over German life.
