President Bill Clinton, along with Vice President Al Gore, successfully ran for re-election in 1996 against Republican opponent Bob Dole and Reform Party candidate Ross Perot. The campaign was difficult, as the Democratic party had recently lost control of both the House and the Senate in the 1994 mid-term elections.

The 1967 International and Universal Exposition, also known as Expo 67, was a Category One World’s Fair. The event was held in Montreal, Quebec from April 27th to October 29th. Expo 67, which was one of the most successful World’s Fairs of the 20th century, created a single-day attendance record for the events with 569,500 visitors on the third day. The fair had sixty-two nations participating. Montreal’s mayor championed the event which was not well supported. There was even a computer analysis stating the fair could not be done, however, the leaders of the fair pulled through and it started on time. Expo 67 was initially supposed to be held in Moscow in order to contribute to the Soviet Union’s celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Due to the Soviet Union’s cancellation, Canada was selected in 1962.

The Beatles formed in 1960 and steadily grew in popularity in the their native Liverpool and—quickly—worldwide. An official fan club was formed in the early 1960s and the club’s best-known secretary was Freda Kelly who held the position from 1962-1972. In her time as secretary, Kelly helped answer letters that included extravagant requests from the band like locks of hair and for band member Ringo Starr to sleep on a pillowcase the fan sent. Fan club merchandise ranged from small items like buttons to larger mementos like exclusive albums. The Beatles enjoyed remarkable success in their ten-year run and broke up in 1970. The fan club was dissolved in 1972.

The quote featured here—said by John F. Kennedy while serving as a Massachusetts senator in response to being honored by the National Conference for Community and Justice for his commitment to anti-bias work—was never actually said by Dante. It is most likely a loose reinterpretation of Dante’s Inferno, from The Divine Comedy. Dante Alighieri was born in Florence, Italy in 1256 and wrote The Divine Comedy from 1307 to 1321; the work has since become one of the world’s most well-known pieces of poetry.

An American historian and author, George McGovern was one of the first politicians to speak out publicly against America's growing involvement in Vietnam. His platform during the 1972 presidential campaign included a comprehensive plan to end the war in Vietnam, a substantial cut in federal defense spending, and a "demogrant" program—which sought to replace inflated welfare bureaucracies with a pledge to give every American citizen $1,000. McGovern's "demogrant" program was dropped from his platform in August of that year after it was severely criticized as a "liberal giveaway." Although McGovern captured the votes of activists and reform liberals, his opponent, Republican incumbent Richard Nixon, managed to defeat McGovern in one of the biggest landslides in American history.
