When I posted my list of people born in 1916, I was in a rush. I put some details up about some of the people I found most interesting, but decided I didn't need to put up info on everyone until their birthdays came up. And few had been born at the beginning of the year. Well, I missed Jackie Gleason yesterday (fixed it now) and added some stuff for Dinah Shore. I find it interesting to see who all were contemporaries born the same year. So, if you missed the post, here's the link.
Several were still alive when I put it up.
Meanwhile here's a little an episode of the Honeymooners. It gives us a hint at why women have worked hard for more rights. Despite the fact that Alice is obviously smarter and more capable than Ralph, the 'traditional values" back then gave Ralph the idea that he was justified being the jerk he is.
The show does tend to unmask the oppressive position of husbands over wives.
