    I actually cried when Jimmy Carter got kilt in the election. I didn't know anything about politics. I think his soft spoken voice appealed to me. I remember my dad consoling me that it was a good thing he lost.

    I remember during the 96 election I was in first grade and we had a class vote. Bob Dole won the election in our class, and some girl thought that meant that he would actually become the president. I told her she was dumb. And I wonder why I had such poor luck with women when I was in school.

    Again so hard to say. I was very young when Elvis died and my Dad would rant about Carter - but what did I see on TV and actually remember?

    But 8-9 for sure I have TV news memories.

    Odd thing to think about with a 10 year old. What will she remember?

    I guarantee my boys' first memory of news is probably the 2003 Iraq invasion. They were glued to the tv watching. I believe they were 5 & 6 or 6 & 7 yrs old.

    Other than that.....none of my kids watch news. I don't blame them.

    i remember diana dying in that tunnel. But it was like i didnt really understand it and what it meant.

    9/11 was totally different as i was older.

    My 1st memory is from when I was 4 1/2, but it has noting to due with any major news story. Yes, I do remember watching Carter sign the Camp David accord, but it probably didn't come to my mind when giving my response because a 9 year old kid had no clue of its significance. I was unhappy at the time that they interrupted Battlestar Galactica to televise it.

    I opted out of p&r a few months ago.

    I know a fair bit about it though, we just had an inquest that blamed the police as responsible and highlighted their cover up.

    Justice for the 96 is a long running protest slogan in the uk
