What Was On The Cover Of "Time" When You Were Born?

May 6, 1985- Did Comets Kill The Dinosaurs? Plus a weird picture of Reagan. Coca-Cola’s plan to change its formula is as strange an idea as “putting a pink miniskirt on the refurbished Statue of Liberty.” The Cosby Show is “a smash, but not groundbreaking.”

My birthday cover: NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE at Three Mile Island.

How depressing.

Barry Goldwater!

Good Lord what a revolting development.

So, I get a picture of Rosalind Russell with a heading ‘One hundred easy ways to lose a man’.

My birth didn’t even rate above that? :stuck_out_tongue:

Ineffeciency in America: Why Nothing Seems to Work Anymore.

Yale President- Kingman Brewster Jr. The precarious future of the private college.

Egads is that boring. Anybody wanna trade?

When I clicked your link, the issue was 1974, I’m pretty sure Dick Cavett was born before that :confused:

He had a three legged dog named Tripod :smiley:

In case you don’t know, Averell Harriman was the Kenneth Starr of the '60s

It’s a reference to the Simpsons’ King Kong parody, which features a newspaper reading “Woman Weds Ape” with a subheadline “Dick Cavett Born” with a picture of an adult Cavett next to it. (The line reads “Woody Allen Born” until the final frame.)

Oh MY OG! I think I have the oldest one so far… General Mark Clark
:rolleyes: How did I get to be this old? sigh… Can somebody answer me that??
I remember most of the Time and Life covers from your birthdays cause I * read* them!
The Jim Jones one I read in spanish, I was in Bogota, Colombia.

Damn! I am sooo old. :dubious: Its just not right.

Picunurse- look on the bright side. You make me feel a little bit younger. :stuck_out_tongue:

Don’t feel too bad. David Simmons’s birthday predates anything in their database. That’s right! He’s older than Time itself! :stuck_out_tongue:

Robert Wagner, the then mayor of New York, not the actor.

See, you cheated, you didn’t link to the year :smiley:

“Gambling Goes Legit”

Sonovabitch. I knew it.

Destined to be red!

EEEEEK!!! For me, it’s a young, healthy-looking Mao Tse-tung!

And here’s the table of contents for that issue:
