It includes 1968, when Red Berenson led the St. Louis Blues to an 8-0 win over Philadelphia with six goals, including four in the second period. Other listed milestones: 1974, when South Africa was awarded the Davis Cup against India after India refused to play over apartheid; 1985, the release of boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter after 19 years in prison; and 1991, Magic Johnson announcing he tested positive for the AIDS virus and retiring.
