The year in 1989

I received this week's Times magazine, a double issue featuring the extraordinary year that 1989 was. Among others, it was the year of:

1. The Fall of the Berlin Wall
2. Russia's Revolution
3. The World Wide Web
4. In Tiananmen Square
5. Mandela meets De Klerk
6. Vietnam Exits Cambodia
7. The Dalai Lama's Nobel
8. The Hillsborough Tragedy
9. The Satanic Verses
10. Gay Marriages

Darn, I was only aware of The Simpsons then!
