1. The Cold War was very dangerous during our high school days. Upfront Note: The Cold War with the Soviet Union was hot, very hot. In another post, I will provide some insights you may not know.
2. Lots of variety TV shows---Milton Berle, Red Skeleton, Show of Shows, Ed Sullivan, and a ton more. (I would give anything for my grand kids to see the talent I saw.) Today SITCOMs are King.
Stand up comics in our high school days were trying to make the Cold War not so serious.
Dinah Shore had a very good show. (Dinah seemed to radiate energy and joy.)Some comic took her theme song. "See the USA in your Chevrolet." The comic said Russia had their own version: The singer was Dinahusi Shoreski: "See the USSR in your armored car"
I cannot explain how or why I remember such trivia. Today, I cannot remember a three item grocery list!
