Born the same day as Nixon, and I remember when Truman died. We got the day from school. Same with LBJ, who died around the same time.

All of which calls to mind the question for you late '70s born types: About what events do you look at people born ten or so years later and say, "I pity those yutes because they don't remember _____."

Me, I remember the moon landing, Watergate, Viet Nam and even the 1968 assassinations with some clarity. Not to mention the 1969 Mets and that great early 70s CBS Saturday night lineup. Someone older than I am might say, "So what, you didn't cry for JFK." Someone even old would bring up WWII.

So?
