EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK:
In 1957 The World
Around Me Continued To Move
As I was developing in form and function,
nevertheless I was still aware only of my immediate environment
in the most primitive way.
I was unaware of the various events in the world that was going
to affect me and the other inhabitants of this planet in many
ways both directly and indirectly.
For starters; the racial tensions in our country
picked up and President Eisenhower had to send Federal troops to
force integration in Little Rock, AK, and the governor of that
same town had called out the U.S. National Guard to keep black
students from enrolling at a local high school.
The
Italian-American community was all abuzz about some of the high
level mafia assassinations on the heels of a Mafia’s convention
discovered by law enforcement.
The space race
between the Soviets and America was just getting started and
Major John Glenn set a transcontinental speed record.
There was an increase of anxiety in the world and here at home
when both the USSR and US launch inter-continental ICBM’s which
intensified the cold war and then when the Gaither Report
emphasized the need for more American missiles and fallout
shelters.
IBM created a
scientific computer programming language FORTRAN available to
its customers. It becomes the most widely used computer language
for technical work and coincidently the brother of one of my
best friends has authored one of the finest and comprehensive
books on FORTRAN.
Allen
Ginsberg’s poem “Howl” which was printed in England is
seized by U.S. customs on the grounds of obscenity, which is
laughable, considering what I get away with in this book.
The
music of the day was
“Too Much”, All Shook Up”, “Teddy Bear” by
Elvis Presley, Round and Round by Perry Como, Young
Love by Tab Hunter, Diana by Paul Anka, Party Doll
by Buddy Knox, Love Letters in the Sand by Pat Boone, and
a real festive song, That’ll Be the Day by Buddy Holly
and the Crickets. Elvis Presley continues to gain more notoriety
after Jailhouse Rock opens nationally.
The
Popular Movies of this year was:
the Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston, Around the World in
80 Days, Giant, Pat Joey, Seven Wonders of the World, The Tea
House of the August Moon, The Pride and Passion, Anastasia,
Island in the Sun and Love me Tender.

Other Starship
Primates Launched in 1957
This year along
with me other notable Starships of basic primate design were
also launched into this world to explore the Cosmos. I mean
notable because they are both famous and their sphere of
influence has been greater than most humans both good and bad.
Osama bin Laden - Saudi-born Islamic extremist, Wolfgang
Ketterie - German physicist, Nobel Prize laureate.
Also, every year
throughout my life some of these notable people that come into
this world are destined to become my potential mates.
