The Republic of Iceland, est. 19 June 1944

McCain b. 29 Aug 1936

Quite a few nations are younger than John McCain: India, Pakistan, most of Africa.... The Golden Gate bridge, the 40-hour work week, nylon, "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, "To Have and Have Not" by Ernest Hemingway, Picasso's "Guernica", the Disney film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves", the use of insulin to treat diabetics, and MU allowing blacks into their law school.
