1. There has always been an Internet ramp onto the information highway.

5. There have nearly always been at least two women on the Supreme Court, and women have always commanded U.S. Navy ships.

15. O.J. Simpson has always been looking for the killers of Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

23. The Communist Party has never been the official political party in Russia.

28. Jimmy Carter has always been a smiling elderly man who shows up on TV to promote fair elections and disaster relief.

42. Electric cars have always been humming in relative silence on the road.

47. No state has ever failed to observe Martin Luther King Day.

54. They’ve grown up with George Stephanopoulos as the Dick Clark of political analysts.
