		The World Almanac and Book of Facts is the grande dame of almanacs, with a first publication in 1868 and published annually since 1886.
		The latter omission makes the almanac's list of the year's biggest news stories strange indeed: surely the fact that for the first time in a half century Republicans will have full control of both Congress and the White House is noteworthy.
		Is the almanac's mission to record the major events of the year, or is it to beat its competitors to the newsstands and book racks?
