Wondering if half the posters even read the complete story. All of this happened back in 1959 -— I was 9 years old, and hardly knew what an Afghanistan was not to mention a muslim. How much did anyone here in the States know about life over there? We had TV, radio and newspapers. Period. Young American women of 1959 were a heck of a lot different than the group out there now.
Oh yeah? So how do you explain such cases happening today?

i think 1950s women were cool as grits
I was born to one
