Pretty historic day. You've got the end of the Nuremburg Trials, the start of Communist China, Johnny Carson taking over the Tonite Show and Disney World opening. Not to mention Disney opened Epcot Center on the same date some years later. That's one place I really want to go. I'd love to go to all those different countries and drink beer. Dan did it one time on 'Rosanne.' It was classic.
