1965 was a year marked by major changes in the world of politics, music, sports, technology and film... and 1966 would be just as transformative. India would elect its first female prime minister, baseball legend Sandy Koufax would retire at his peak, and The Beatles would make the groundbreaking decision to stop touring. At the same time, Major League Baseball welcomed its first African-American umpire, Ursula K. Le Guin released her debut novel, and Bruce Lee would storm onto the scene as Kato in The Green Hornet.
