From 1956 to 2023, actor Michael Caine has appeared in either movie or TV roles every year, with the exception of these years: 1973, 1989, 1993, and 2019.
Bill Clinton was sworn in as US President on January 20, 1993. At age 46, he was the second-youngest president to be elected to the office, and the third-youngest president ever. John F. Kennedy was 43 when he was elected, and Theodore Roosevelt was 42 when he assumed office following the death of William McKinley.
Bill Clinyon and Donald Trump are the same age, both born in 1946. When Trump began his second term, he was the oldest person elected to the presidency.
James Clinton and George Clinton (no relation to Bill Clinton) were both sons of Charles Clinton, who emigrated from Ireland to the American Colonies, and served as a colonel during the French and Indian War in the 1750s.
Charles’ sons and grandsons played important roles in the early United States:
- James was a general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War
- George was the first governor of the state of New York, and was the fourth U.S. Vice President (serving during Thomas Jefferson’s second term)
- James’s son, DeWitt Clinton, served as mayor of New York City, and governor of New York
- George’s son, George Clinton Jr., served as a member of the New York State Assembly and the U.S. House of Representatives
George Clinton served as Vice-President under Thomas Jefferson and then under James Madison.
I read this to say that Ian McDiarmid portrayed Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, Arthur and Glenne Headly. 
In play:
Bill Clinton has often told the story that, when Hillary Rodham walked up and introduced herself to him in the Yale Law School library, he was so taken with her that he forgot his own name.
During one term, Bill Clinton cut lots of classes, probably because he was already politicking. When exam time came, he managed to borrow class notes from one of the other students to study from. He got a higher mark on the exam than the student who loaned her notes.
As a young child in the 1970s I noticed driver wrist watches by a company named Clinton. They were packed in water, like the picture in this old magazine ad. I was amazed.

Per wiki, in 1981 the Clinton Watch Company of Chicago acquired the Benrus brand of wrist watches from the Wells-Benrus company, and they renamed the business to the Benrus Watch Company.

As far as history knows, the very first wristwatch was designed for the Queen Caroline Murat of Naples in 1810 by Abraham-Louis Breguet. At this time, while men kept their watches on a chain attached to their pocket, women were still wearing them on chains around their necks.
Patek Philippe, another popular name in luxury watches, designed a bracelet watch for the Countess Koscowicz of Hungary in 1868.
This concept of the wrist watch came by the pilot Alberto Santos Dumont as he wished to be able to check the time while keeping both hands in use while flying. As such, his friend, the famous Louis Cartier designed him the Cartier Santos-Dumont in 1904. Simultaneously, the first men’s wristwatch was born as well as the first pilot’s watch.
Phillippe Cousteau, son of famed French oceanographer and filmmaker Jacques Cousteau, was himself an accomplished diver, oceanographer, cinematographer, and pilot. Phillippe collaborated with his father on numerous documentaries in the 1960s and 1970s, until his 1979 death in the crash of a seaplane.
The seaplane used in the ABC TV show Fantasy Island, which ran from 1977-84, was a 1967 Grumman Widgeon.
Freddie Widgeon is a recurring PG Wodehouse character, appearing in two short story collections (Young Men in Spats and Eggs, Beans and Crumpets) and in one novel (Ice in the Bedroom). He is noted for his repeated pattern of falling in love with girls and then running into difficulties, as well as his adhesion to the “Code of the Widgeons”, a type of misguided noblesse oblige.
A widgeon is a type of duck.
In November 2019, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey revealed his preference for using the DuckDuckGo search engine rather than Google, stating, “I love @DuckDuckGo. My default search engine for a while now. The app is even better!”
“Duck Duck Goose” is a common playground “chase” game in the United States. In portions of the midwestern U.S., particularly Minnesota, children play a variation of the game, called “Duck, Duck, Gray Duck,” in which the verbal signal for the chase to begin is “gray duck,” rather than “goose.”
The “Spruce Goose” or Hughes H-4 Hercules, Howard Hughes’s white elephant of a long-distance air transport, was actually almost entirely made of birch. It flew only once, on Nov. 2, 1947, off Long Beach, Calif. with Hughes himself at the controls. It flew low enough that there is still some controversy as to whether it truly flew or depended instead upon ground effect (although it was over water).
It remains the largest flying boat ever made and has, since 1993, been on display at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum near Portland, Ore.
The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum is considered the world’s largest museum of its kind. Over 8 million people visit it each year. The facility has two locations; one is in the heart of the Smithsonian complex in Washington DC, and the other can be found in Virginia near Washington Dulles Airport.
