Back in the day… 23 January 1961 | 23 Jan. 2026

We turn the calendar back 65 years… “Back in the day”, we open the newspaper Apogevmatini, dated Monday, 23 January 1961, and read that:

  • John F. Kennedy was sworn in as President of the United States
  • A chauffeur deliberately injured his wife
  • Robots will take over the management of businesses in the future
  • There may possibly be life beyond planet Earth
  • Patrice Lumumba is preparing to “communize” the Democratic Republic of the Congo
  • By the year 2000, women will dominate
  • Corruption among students in England is at an all-time high
  • Panathinaikos is top of the league after a 4–2 victory over Thermaikos
