Good quiz! Even though I got an abysmal 50%, I enjoyed looking at all of the newspapers that reported the headlines. I think I’ve only been alive for one (Diana), so it’s a good history lesson.

I got 6/10. The Eisenhower one would have been harder if the possible answers included more than one election year. I missed the only one that happened in my lifetime.
