Characters
Lyndon B. Johnson; Fidel Castro; Lassie; Tiny Tim; John Wayne; Spiro Agnew; Jack Benny; Sylvester P. Smythe
Synopsis
Written from the perspective of the year 2000, looking at where celebrities from 1970 had changed (or, in the case of Jack Benny, not changed at all).

Indexer Notes

Many of these celebrities would not see 1980, much less 2000. Lyndon B. Johnson died in 1973, Jack Benny in 1974, John Wayne in 1979.
