  1. I lived through the eighties but I don’t remember this song at all. Of course they say if you lived through the eighties you probably can’t remember them. Or was that the sixties? I can’t remember.

  2. Roger Bannister, the first man to run a mile in less than four minutes, was born March 23, 1929, in Harrow (north suburban London). His feat is even more amazing when one considers that he was working as a physician in London at the time (not while he was running the mile, of course), but, on May 6, 1954, he awoke in London, did his rounds at a hospital there, then took a train to Oxford, where he ran a mile in 3:59.4.

    He went on to a distinguished career as a neurologist, and died March 3, 2018.
