FEBRUARY 14, 1962


First lady Jacqueline Kennedy gives television viewers an inside look at the White House when she takes CBS broadcaster Charles Collingwood on a televised tour of the newly restored presidential residence.

1966: Basketball standout Rick "the Rocket" Mount is the first high school athlete to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Mount is pictured under the headline "Brightest Star in High School Basketball," for his stellar performance on the court for Lebanon High School in Lebanon, Ind. He will go on to become a two-time All America player for Purdue University and a first-round draft pick by the Indiana Pacers.

1972:
Barry Bostwick and Adrienne Barbeau star in the premiere of the off-Broadway musical Grease at the Eden Theatre. The production, a feel-good
1950s throwback, will become a 1978 hit film with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.
