$7,564/yr

Soviet spacecraft Venera7 lands
on Venus

down and killed during anti-Vietnam
protest

flood

Richard Nixon is the President
of the United States

Luna 16 brings back the first
moon rocks

Color television is introduced to
the US

Spike utters his first "meow"

DORSET — Spike, a ginger and white tom cat, was born the spring of 1970. He died following a stroke Wednesday, July 11th - two months after his 31st birthday. Amazing, isn't it?
