Archive of Time Magazine Covers

Time magazine has scans (you can buy prints) of the covers of their old issues. The mag closest to my birthday was The Bugs are Coming.

As long as you were born after 1923 or so, you should be able to see what was on the cover of time the week you were born. You can get an idea of what the country was “all a buzz” about, when you made your debut. Apparently around my birth the country was concerned about missiles.

In and around my birth there seemed to be international tension and discussion about outer space. Plus some hype about an up-and-coming actor named Dustin Hoffman.
