1959 - Miles on wheels

Castro takes Havana, Motown starts up
February 3rd's the day the music dies
Makarios takes charge in independent Chypre
Tibet rebellion, Dalai Lama flies
The Kind of Blue sessions released by Miles
Britain gives its freedom to Singapore
Alaska's the 49th state, Hawaii's
The 50th. Earth's photographed by camera
From space. The hovercraft and Mini car
The South Vietnamese Diem regime's corrupt
The peasants welcome Ho Chi Minh's supplies
The biggest film in '59's Ben Hur
The Clutters killed 'in cold blood' (Truman Cap)
The M1's open - cars flash by like flies
