What does the number 67 mean to you? Do you associate it with a year? After all, 1967 was the year the Beatles released both Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour. It was also the year in which the first Super Bowl was held, and Ernesto "Che" Guevara was gunned down. But maybe when you think about the number 67, you think of the age of George Washington at the time of his death, or the atomic number of the chemical element holmium, or the dance marathon number worn by Jane Fonda and Michael Sarrazin in the 1969 film They Shoot Horses, Don't They? In this fascinating collection of trivia, Herb Reich examines random, seemingly unrelated facts about the numbers 1 to 100 in detail, revealing lore, myths, and bizarre tidbits of information.
