A great deal went down in 1950. Just a few events of that help shaped the World Today:
- The Korean War Began.
- The Miracle on the Green: The longshot American Team (odds 500-1) beat the heavily favored English Team (3-1) in a FIFA World Cup match in Brazil.
- Gary Merrill fell in Love with Bette Davis while filming All About Eve.
- Alan Turing wrote a computer chess program.
- Gloria Swanson was “Ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille” in Sunset Boulevard.
- Elvis, Ray, jerry Lee, Buddy rocked the music world (see Geoff Wolfe for more accuracy).
- AND…On the south(west) side of Chicago, in the baddest part of town, at 3:20 AM, a baby boy was born; destined for greatness…perhaps…maybe…Still hoping!
