Well, lets see...Elvis bought Graceland, the 1st Frisbee was introduced by Whamo, Fortran computer language was first used, Ford introduced the Edsel, Sputnik was launched, the Civil Rights Act was passed, Sid Vicious was born and Humphrey Bogart died.
I think that sums it up! smile

Jaws was on top at the box office, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest won the Oscar for Best Picture, NBC aired the first episode of SNL (hosted by George Carlin) the popular video game was Pong, the United Nations declared an International Women's Day, and the digital camera was invented. Not too shabby!
