1964: The World 50 Years Ago<\/b> – 50 photos – http:\/\/theatln.tc\/1gy3SDD<\/a> – 1964 was an eventful year — a half-century ago, humans were making strides toward space travel beyond the Earth's orbit, and Tokyo hosted the 18th Summer Olympics. The Beatles took America by storm, as Race Riots gripped big cities — and the the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed into law. Boxer Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali and the heavyweight champion of the world. Cyprus devolved into civil war between Turks and Greeks, and President Lyndon Johnson escalated U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.\ufeff<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
