Huh. While I was reading this, I thought only SOME of the stories were related to events that actually happened in the year being chronicled, but it turns out that virtually ALL of the stories were based on real events. I found it odd that both 1963 and 1968 passed without mention of the JFK, Martin Luther King, or Bobby Kennedy assassinations, but other than that, this book does an amazing job of showing day-to-day life during the 20th century.
