That was the year when...
• England won the football World cup (in England)
• Comedian Lenny Bruce (39) & Silent film star Buster Keaton (70) both died
• Timothy Leary arrested on drugs charges
• Boxer Hurricane Carter was arrested for Murder. He eventually had the conviction overturned in 1985, some 19 years later
• Ronald Reagan was elected Governor of California
About 1966
1966 was dominated in England by one event: The World cup which was both hosted and won by a jubilent nation. Lenny Bruce, a long term heroin user, sadly succumbed to an overdose and the Silent Film legend Buster Keaton fell silent for the last time.
