Ever since the Titanic’s 1912 sinking, fascination with the historic disaster and a desire to make sense of it has only intensified. In recent years, as deep-sea tourism became more popular, expeditions 12,500 feet down to the ship’s wreck site have catered to thrill-seekers. But on June 18, 2023, the line between fantasy and reality was crossed—with deadly results. As with all great dramas, the truth—and the ultimate meaning—is revealed in the details of the lives and deaths, the sights and sounds, the fleeting luxuries, the lasting trauma, the world that celebrated the Titanic and the world that mourned its unimaginable loss.
Many Americans felt lost in the 1970s, and one movie spoke to disillusioned times. Opening on Dec. 26, 1973—one day after Christmas—Warner Bros. released The Exorcist as “the scariest movie of all time.” The film brought to life the spirit of the devil within the body of a child, complete with projectile vomiting, levitation, blasphemous curses and head-spinning. It would go on to become a box-office sensation and a cultural phenomenon, and along the way it made Catholic priests into action heroes and teenage girls into feared forces. Fifty years on, admiration and fear of the film remains. It has been copied, stolen from, spoofed and analyzed. The devil may be in the details, but when it comes to The Exorcist, it’s all about the devil—and how the demon emerged as a true and unlikely movie star all across America.
When Aerosmith first entered the spotlight in the early 1970s, they were sometimes called “The Bad Boys from Boston.” But as the years passed and they earned their battle scars—surviving hardships, shifts in musical tastes and all manner of challenges—a new nickname emerged that reflected their enduring appeal: “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Through hard work and perseverance, Aerosmith has earned every word of that lofty nickname. Aerosmith survived by refusing to quit. After more than 50 years, the party still hasn’t ended. Fans of all ages still come out to hear Perry shred and Steven Tyler wail. Whether you’re cryin’ or crazy, in the mood to dream on or walk this way, Aerosmith has the toys in the attic and the talent to tap into sweet emotions. It simply doesn’t get more American, or great, than that.

His life was straight out of a storybook, and storybooks are supposed to have happy endings—not leave the world in shock and tears. That is what happened on Nov. 22, 1963, when the legend of John Fitzgerald Kennedy came to an abrupt end in Dallas, Texas. His death was a pivotal turning point of the 1960s. Nothing would be the same after Kennedy’s murder—yet the years leading up to it were also tumultuous, and the United States was filled with internal strife. But no matter how tough things seemed, Kennedy pointed to better times ahead—a vision that included the triumph of American values, opportunity for all, and a walk on the moon. Most people wanted those things to come true, and were willing to believe that somehow they might with Kennedy leading the way. The idea that a bullet could end all that was disillusioning, demoralizing and terrifying. It took years to come to terms with what actually happened, let alone put the pieces back together. And even today, people obsessively wonder two things about the Kennedy assassination: Why? And what would the world be like if it never happened?
