I am indignant.

It seems like this guy, Fred Kaplan, has written a book, 1959: The Year Everything Changed. (You can hear him discuss his book on the Dianne Rehm show. ) Somehow he spent 336 pages talking about 1959 without mentioing that I was born on January 1st of that pivotal year. My birth and everything changes? Causation or correlation? You decide. I'm simply noting a lacuna in his work that is difficult to fathom.

An unintentional oversight I'm sure.

I'll withhold judgment until the 2nd edition is published with corrections.
