  1. The Zapruder film of JFK's assassination didn't air on national TV until 1975, when Geraldo Rivera showed it on ABC.

    Jon Hamm's first role was Winnie the Pooh in a first grade play. He told Vanity Fair his mom made the bear suit.

    The duffel bag gets its name from the town of Duffel, Belgium, where the cloth used in the bags was originally sold.

    After the 1986 season, Hartford threw the Whalers a parade to celebrate reaching the second round of the NHL playoffs.

    At 17, John Travolta auditioned for the title role in Jesus Christ Superstar. The producer noted, "This kid will be a very big star."

    In 1983, before Sally Ride became the first American woman in space, a reporter asked, "Do you weep when things go wrong on the job?"

  2. Duffel bags, we always had one as kids to carry our swimming things around in. Usually they were homemade duffel bags.
