That's the problem, I can't choose any of those - 'course, probably won't make any difference - pretty soon I won't remember anyone's name either. My memory will be locked in 1958...

BOAC flew to London in record 7h57m
Sputnik-1 burned up in re-entry
Roy Campanella was paralyzed in a car wreck
Paul Newman married Joanne Woodward
"Short Shorts" (Royal Teens) hit #3 on the charts
Ted Williams signed with Red Sox for $135K (highest paid)
Comic 'BC' first appeared
Arnold Palmer won his 1st major - the Masters
Eisenhower signed a bill making Alaska a state
Nasa was created
Yankee's won the world series 4/3 over Braves.

Yep, this world would be very different if we hadn't lived through 1958...now, we just have to get through 2008 without too much damage..
