Time Person of the Year

Its that time of the year when Time magazine selects its person of the year. And while I am reminiscing about all the quiz questions that I have heard over the years here are some random and interesting ones:

• Charles Lindbergh became the first one in 1927.
• Gandhi was the first non-American in 1930
• FDR has been selected thrice (the most by anyone)
• Wallis Simpson (Duchess of Winsdor) was the first woman in 1936
• Chiang Kai-Shek and his wife became the first couple in 1937
• 1966 belonged to '25 and under' and 69 to 'middle americans' and 75 to 'american women'
• Nixon is the only one to be named in two consecutive years (71 and 72)
• 82 belonged to the 'computer' and 88 to 'the endangered earth'
• Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon) in 1999
• The whistleblowers (Cynthia Cooper of Worldcom, Coleen Rowlet of FBI and Sherron Watkins of Enron) took the honor in 2002
• The American GI and soldier was selected in 1950 and 2003
