An event every bit as important as the Nixon-Khrushchev Kitchen Debate, Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down this Wall" speech and Yakov Smirnoff's defection to the West. We write, of course, about the debut of "Dallas," the 13-year soap opera that shook the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
