@petegray44 You're probably right Pete. I too, like your dad was a Browns fan. I was 10 in 1965 and vividly recall watching the Colts-Packers playoff game on Sunday December 26, 1965 on our Black and white TV. I was rooting for the Colts because I wanted the Browns to repeat as NFL champions. ...

When I first saw this scene in 1971 at the age of 16, it didn't mean that much to me. I was young then, and had my whole life ahead of me. But now, 40 years later at age 56, this scene really hits home for me. It speaks powerfully about the passage of time, with the poignant background of the ...

@wiedep I agree. He was the voice of the Packers for many many years. To be the voice of the Twins as well was weird. I'm sure he was doing it for the money. Why else?

@ScooterpupReljac Yes, I do too! It was on Monday January 22, 1973. I recall Cronkite taking the call while on the air. It was a very dramatic moment. This was also the day of Roe v Wade and Frazier v Foreman. 1973 seems like a real long time ago now.

@wasbro1 Never embarrass any football player by comparing him to Jim Brown.

@bushna2007 Probably in passing. You are part of each other's "precious incommunicable past." Warm memories, and wonderful memories, and they are YOUR MEMORIES! God Bless you. I'm all for human beings loving each other.

@pamplemouseful As Hemmingway once said: "Life breaks us all. Some are strong at the broken places." My deepest sympathy to you on your loss.

@GGE47 Thanks for the comments! Baseball today is totally different than in 1968. I agree with everything you say. Even listening to games on the radio is different. They advertise every other pitch, and make it so you can't concentrate on the game.

Far far fewer tv commercials back in 70. You could actually follow the continuity of the game then, unlike today when they take a break every 5 minutes!

@bondsly If Whitey Ford hadn't got hurt in Game 1, I think the Yankees would have prevailed.

@MattyVfromCT Barber seems more interested in somebody getting 5 Grand then he does in Maris epic accomplishment. Of course, 5 Grand was a lot of money back in 1961. In my view, the Homerun record still belongs to Mr. Roger Eugene Maris. He did it the old fashioned way: HE EARNED IT!

@stilistagirl If I were Ben, I definitely would not have hugged her when he saw her again months later. He should have shaken her hand, nothing else! If somebody breaks your heart and rejects you, you definitely should not be hugging them! A handshake and a nod of the head would have sufficed....

@RandyTownsendman I was a teenage boy in 1970, and know exactly what you mean! Absolutely beautiful movie and hauntingly beautiful score. I wish Jennifer O'Neill and Gary Grimes would make some kind of joint public appearance together today. I'd love to see them now as older people. She's 63,...

@robertmartinez Men tend to be visual creatures, and are apt to fall in love with a beautiful outer covering, rather than see the person within. I'm sure some of her husbands were dirtbags, who saw her as merely a pretty face and a beautiful body. However, Jennifer has to take some responsibil...

@Mugsysam Even if JFK had lived, he would have had to deal with the multitude of crises that the country faced in the 1960's. Viet Nam, Racial unrest, riots, The Cold War, the generation gap, youth and drugs, and finally his own personal behavior which was very reckless and may possibly have got...

Gregg Lott! I'm so impressed! You made your point to Mr. O'Neal and handled yourself like a man. It took balls to do what you did. God bless you sir. I truly believe now that you were the real love of Farrah's life. And I have no doubt that she was the love of yours. May Farrah's enduring ...

@DanaFillmorePsyD Another thing: True, "marriages that break up don't do the kids any favors." But it's also true that marriages that stay together with much bickering and discord don't do the kids any favors either. I'm not sure which is worse. Basically, my mom told me that in marriage you ...

@Miram88 I totally agree with your thoughts. I feel that most people can relate to the pain that Archer is feeling. Given the choice of a reunion with a person we loved long ago, or walking away, I feel that Archer made the right choice, even though it was heartbreaking. I too cried. This film...

@Dennyee Interesting comment. You make a good point. I think in 1870's America people were not that physically affectionate with each other. Much more distant and reserved than our touchy feely world of today. Thanks for sharing your perceptive comment.

@TedNewsom I respectfully disagree with you. Ike delivered the 2 most important speeches of the 20th century: 1. Speech on June 6, 1944 announcing the invasion of Hitler's Fortress Europe, and 2, Farewell Address to America on January 17, 1961 when he warned of the "military industrial complex...

@BSNFabricating I recently read that after McKinley was shot, doctors had problems locating the bullet wound because of the President's massive belly.

@willyjhopuky I totally agree with you. Oswald was actually a pretty smart guy; comparable IQ to JFK, even though he did a horrible horrible deed. Sure, he and Marina were having problems in their marriage, but so were JFK and Jackie. Only thing, Kennedy's had more money to protect and insul...

It's utterly amazing how different the dress code was for men and women 110 years ago. Working class people were expected to wear their best clothes to attend a fair or exposition; hats, long dresses, dress shoes, suits, ties, etc... Today at a similar event, men and women would all want to ...

@QuirkyGirl12345 I totally agree with your analysis and conclusion for the most part. I heard that shot #1 was deflected by trees and hit the pavement. The Governor never accepted the fact of the single bullet theory. He went to his death believing he was hit by a separate shot.

@pauline5248 It was a horrible, horrible tragedy. Wish either the driver Bill Greer, or Jackie could have reacted quicker. Either person might have been able to save JFK, if they had moved fast to take immediate action. Both of their reflexes were a bit slow.

I wonder what happened to the small child who appears from frames 33-7 wearing a round hat. Obviously, he too is long, long dead. This video gives me chills.

Notice in this clip from 1901 how immaculately dressed all the people are at a public event. Hats, suits, long dresses, etc... Today in 2011 at a similar type of event, we would insist on wearing blue jeans with holes in them, with half of our butts exposed. Boy, times have sure changed! It ...

@kimonui Is this film actually real? Is it actual footage from 1900? If so, absolutely fantastic! It gives you the feeling of being transported back in time, to a time that nobody now living can remember. Only regret: the Orient Express version would go much better with the film than does th...
