In the year ____, the following events occurred:
1- The summer Olympics are cancelled due to war.
2- A popular writer from California, known mostly novels and short stories set in Alaska and the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush, dies at age 40.
3- An American League team wins the World Series four games to one, capturing their record-setting fourth World Series title. A 21-YO lefty pitcher for Boston goes all 14 innings in the game 2 win.
4- A Mexican revolutionary crosses the international border with more than 500 men and raids a US town, killing 17 Americans
5- A cleft-chinned, steely-eyed and virile star of international cinema who rose from being "the ragman's son" is born.
6- An Irish author publishes a portrayal of a character's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself. (Sounds like fun).
