Do you know what was happening in the world when you were born? TIME Magazine's archives allow you to search by your birthdate to see the cover of the magazine for that week when you first entered the world. (See the search bar on the right hand side). The archives go back to the first issue in 1923. It's fascinating to see what was new and hip, controversial or newsy back then, from Charlie Chapman and my favorite TV gal Lucy to the rise of the computer and the demise of the Challenger space shuttle.
My birth week cover from June 1988 (shown below) rants about Russia's under-appreciated women! Interesting comparison to this week's European cover.
