This morning marks 250 years since the first shot of the American Revolution was fired in Lexington, Ma.

  • "[H]istorians have argued over who fired first at the Battle of Lexington, when Massachusetts militiamen faced British soldiers about 11 miles west of Boston. A musket blast caused red-coated regulars to shoot at colonists, officially marking the beginning of the Revolutionary War," The Washington Post reports (gift link).

Go deeper: 250 years after America went to war for independence, a divided nation battles over its legacy.

In a ritual dating to medieval times, cardinals today will file into the Vatican's frescoed Sistine Chapel after a public Mass in St. Peter's Basilica (just concluded) and start their secret conclave to pick a successor to Pope Francis. (Reuters)

The cardinals will take oaths of secrecy beneath Michelangelo's "Last Judgment," then likely take a first ballot.

Assuming no candidate secures the necessary two-thirds majority (89 votes out of 133), the cardinals will retire for the day and return tomorrow.

  • They'll have two ballots in the morning, and two in the afternoon, until a winner is found.

Go deeper.
