Yikes. It’s a long list, but I think I’d like to be a fly on the wall in the days leading up to July 4, 1776, and to be an observer at the meetings that followed, as Madison and Franklin and the rest hammered out the framework for what is currently in the midst of a severe stress test.

At the other end of the spectrum, maybe have a seat in the Ed Sullivan Theater for The Beatles’ American debut in 1964.
