Welcome to the Wednesday Edition of the Business News Headlines for the 6th day of December. A reminder that tomorrow is a "day that will live in infamy". That quote by president Franklin Roosevelt following the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. History, kids, is important. And tomorrow at sundown begins the Jewish holiday of Chanukah.
