Fifty-six years. One living-room screen.
From the end of the Second World War to the beginning of a new century, Americans lived through more change than in any previous span of their history — and they watched most of it through a television set just like this one.
Fourteen events are coming your way. Your job: drop each one into its correct decade. You don't need the exact year — just the ten years it fell into.
