On this day in 1972, women ran in the Boston Marathon for the first time. Nina Kusciik was one of eight women to run that year and took the women's first place at 3:10:26. She won in the women's category in the New York Marathon that year as well.
It's almost impossible to imagine that there was once an era in which women didn't compete in long distance marathons, but indeed not only was there one, it really wasn't all that long ago.
Time magazine came out with an Army of the Republic of Vietnam helmeted soldier and the byline "The Next Big Test". By this point in the war, it was a Vietnamese war once again.
Ford recalled all of its 1972 Torinos and Montegos due to defects in the rear axles.
This was day two for the commencing circulation of The Culpepper Cattle Company, one of the greatest films in the Western genre, in my opinion.
