Subject:        Your TOP EVENT / DECISION that shaped the 20th Century

With Millennium 'madness' looming, I thought it might be rather fun to
invite LIST members and individuals to submit their pick of a single event
or decision that, in their opinion, made the most impact upon this Century?

The recommendations no doubt will be purely subjective ( perhaps a trifle
quirky) and should come with a short sentence of justification!


The responses will be collated and published in the April edition of GLOBAL
MUSEUM ( in the FORUM section).
To save bandwidth, could I invite you to mail your contribution off the list

I am picking we will have a wide range of choices and l Iook forward to
receiving the nominations

Roger
