Willie Mays. At least it was somebody good.
More Nixon for me …
Nixon in the Middle-East. (I was born 23 June 1974)
I like this thread.
Anyways, I think I have the most recent one here:
Mosaic of Christ Who was Jesus? A startling new movie raises age-old questions.
Aww… why couldn’t I have a cool one.
Walt Disney.
Oh, c’mon…you gotta love the irony of that!
Mine is Pope John XXIII.
Yeah, but dig that jacket!
For me, a dead President on Time and a really bad idea on Life.
Yasser Arafat
I guess not much chance of anyone figuring out my age from that 
.
Totally boring. The banner says “How to Run for Congress” with a sketch of Michigan’s Chamberlain? Who the heck was Chamberlain?
“Showdown in Jordan: The Arab Guerrillas”
This is so embarassing. My birthday cover was:
Who the dickens is Rowland Hughes?

Candidate Kennedy.
My DOB was the day before the 1960 presidential election. As a birthday gift few years ago, my wife tried to get an original copy of a newspaper from that day. Anything and everything Kennedy-related was gone from the supplier she contacted. So she got me Life magazine instead. It had the International Geophysical Year as the cover story.
History repeats itself, I guess. Kind of sad, really. The cover for mine reads: “Mideast - New Quest for Peace” with a picture of Anwar Sadat on it.
30 years later…
From three days before my birthday (there isn’t one for the 19th)
Yeah, mine too, of course. I did go to 3rd grade with two girls named Farrah. 
EvilHamsterOnCrack, I remember reading that article when it came out. I was 11 years old then, and raised in an extremely conservative Christian household. I was fascinated by that article and the hoopla surrounding The Last Temptation of Christ, because it opened my mind to so many possibilities and concepts I’d never been allowed to consider before. I’ll always remember that cover and article because it represented the beginning of a massive (and very positive) change in my worldview.
So you see, not so sucky at all.
I get Chernobyl. Oo.
I don’t understand anything about mine. (5 days before my actual B-Day).
The cover reads “The American Indian: Goodbye to Tonto.” It’s some strange artwork with an abstract-looking red Indian wearing a yellow chicken on his head holding a flower with stars from the American Flag in it.
More utter confusion inside:
“The Unreal MACOI”
“Ling Chops up the Meatball”
“Some People Come Back Like Hecuba”
Now this is interesting:
Nothing really changes, does it?
My birthday cover features Ansel Adams and a snippet of President Carter in a muddle
