haory, this may come as a bit of a surprise to you *but* the 1960 presidental
election was held in ----------------- 1960 ---------------------.

okay. was it "sorta" 1961 or "sorta" a year or two or three or five earlier
or
later?


It was 1961, the year after both Richard M. Nixon and John F. Kennedy
appeared on the New Haven Green during the 1960 Presidential campaign.
Got to see both in person (from a distance, of course)...my high school
wasn't that far away from the Green.

Here's some history of the Green.

--
We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
