I love this kind of thing.
- John F. Kennedy elected President.
- The first star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is presented --- to Joanne Woodward.
- Adolph Eichmann captured/kidnapped.
- Nikita Krushchev pounds his shoe in anger on UN table.
- Gary Powers and his U2 spy plane shot down over Soviet Russia.
- "Psycho" the top-grossing movie of the year.
- Harper Lee wins the Pulitzer for To Kill A Mockingbird.
- New words that soon become commonplace: "anchorman," "sit-in,"
"cosmonaut," "laser." - Astroturf, rayon and the felt-tip pen make their first appearances.
- Chubby Checker introduces "The Twist."
I missed commenting on the Sam Neill pic on the OTHER blog - he had a Buddy looking doggy! :D
