This book chronicles the most important events which have shaped our world in the context of what the media reported on that day, as compared to the viewpoint to-day.This work is in two volumes, of which this book is the first volume. The subject matter is handled by listing the specific day when the event occurred, going through the calendar a day at a time throughout the year.What is clearly evident is an extraordinary change in values and the concept of what is considered to be right and what is wrong over the last half century. Has the pendulum swung too far and will it swing back or are we, in the Western World, in continual decline both morally and economically?The USA has been the land of opportunity, but home grown Liberals are now increasingly sapping the strength of the USA. This book chronicles the destruction of our traditional Christian values and the moral decline of the USA. It gives an insight into the developing world and the failure of the USA to sustain world leadership. The USA seems to be incapable or willing to continue to wear the mantle that England wore for centuries until Socialist Britain handed the mantle over in the 1940s.When I came to the USA in 1970, the man in the street on seeing a Cadillac, vowed to be in one in another ten years. To-day, increasingly, the desire is to get the 'privileged' out of their Mercedes and BMWs.
