In its course, the earth makes one complete revolution about the sun, and, in that space of time, news becomes history. Not only is the year a period of time, but it is also , .. the people who lived during that time and the events that took place. Most of all, it is the change that occurred. Most memorable to many Americans was missile testing tabovel or to others who had probably never seen the University, it was Castrols uprising tmiddlel.
