nation after being sworn in, the very first recording ever made on an
Edison phonograph, Nixon resigning in shame, Hitler hatefully ranting
about Germanic expansionism, Malcolm X powerfully speaking on black
power, Babe Ruth saying good-bye to baseball, and Neil Armstrong
uttering those famous words as he first steps onto the moon.
