During the 1960s, boxing, like mostly everything else around the world, went through changing times. Boxers from the old guard of boxing gave way to a new movement filled with youth, controversy and enthusiasm. The decade of the 1960s is best remembered by the insurgence of a young boxer named Cassius Clay, who would, in his own words shock the world, declare himself against war, and change his name to Muhammad Ali. Many sociologists, observers and critics now view A ...

The Valiant appeared in 1960 as its own marque and was advertised as the Valiant by Chrysler Corp. For 1961, it was assigned to Plymouth, while Dodge's 1961 version was called the Lancer. The 1960–1962 Valiant and Lancer rode on a 106.5 in (2705 mm) wheelbase. The Valiant was not nearly as radical as the competition from General Motors' Chevrolet Corvair, which had an air-cooled rear-mounted engine. It was considered more daring than the also-new Ford Falcon, however. The Falcon was totally conventional, while the V ...

The U.S. presidential election of 1960 marked the end of the eight years of Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidency. Voters were generally happy with the Eisenhower administration, but many continued to have concerns about the Cold War. Under the provisions of the 22nd amendment, Eisenhower was disqualified from running because he had been elected twice. The Republican nomination instead went to Eisenhower's vice president, Richard M. Nixon. The Democrats nominated Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts. After a very close race, Kennedy c ...

Many of the trends of the 1960s were due to the demographic changes brought about by the baby boom generation, the height of the Cold War, and the dissolution of European colonial empires. The rise in social revolution, civil rights movements, human rights movement, anti-War movements, and the Counterculture movement are only some of the characteristics that defined the 1960s. Many experts attribute the 1960s "counter-culture revolution" as being the result of the major social and political factors that rose in the 1950s like brinksmanship, ...
