"Down with the Shah!"


When Nancy Lieberman's pro career began....

...there was still a USSR.
...Jimmy Carter was stil in office.
...Terry Bradshaw was still quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
...the Hockey "Miracle on Ice" had taken place in the Winter Olympics.
...Robert Mugabe had just become Prime Minister of Zimbabwe.
...Iron Maiden had released their debut album.
...there was still a place called "Yugoslavia".
...Mount St. Helen's went off.
..."CNN" had just been launched.
...Lech Walesa had just launched his first strike in Poland.
...Sue Bird was a baby.
...The Empire Strikes Back had been released.
...Pink Floyd still had Roger Waters.
...Eddie Murphy was still on Saturday Night Live.
...David Letterman's first attempt at a talk show had been cancelled.
...the Apple II was the top of the line in personal computers.

So if someone woke up from a deep 28-year sleep and read this headline, what do you think their next question would be?
