FACTS AND FICTION Trivia is defined in the Funk and Wagnalls dic¬ tionary as unsignificant or unimportant matters; tribles; of little value or importance. No two people will agree on what is trivia. Many people feel it is limited to a certain part of news facts, others surely would feel it is facts on movies and movie stars. Sports fans quote statistics as trivia, while Civil war buffs cite commanders as trivia. Trivia is not unimportant or insignificant to us. Important matters to us of today such as our hair¬ styles, the clothes we wear, our shoes will be trivia in the future. Anything that happens in the world, local, or at home is considered trivia.
