MAY 9, 1960: The Food and Drug Administration approves the birth control pill, Enovid. One hundred percent effective is is later found to cause life-threatening blood clots and the approved dosage was ten times too high.
United States sends U-2 over USSR. I gave birth to a baby girl then gave her away.
MAY 10th, 1960: John F. Kennedy wins primary in West Virginia. The Silver Beatles audition at Wyvern Social Club in Liverpool in hopes of becoming a back up band for Billy Fury's upcoming tour. They did not get the job. Still in the hospital. Want to get out of here.
MAY 11, 1960: This is the 131st day of the year of 1960. Living under the assumed name, Ricardo Klement, the Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann is captured in Argentina. Eichmann is known as the architect of the Final Solution. His capture opens up the horrors of the Holocaust to the world. Finally, a visitor. My spirits are lifted today.
MAY 12, 1960: Elvis Presley appears on a Frank Sinatra special. Prince Aly Khan dies. I receive a visit from attorney explaining terms of adoption and finalization papers.
MAY 13: Eisenhower and Khrushchev showdown in France at Cold War Summit concerning U2 shot down in Russian airspace. Average cost of a house is $12,700. Gas is .25 a gallon. A Ford Mustang 2 door hardtop costs $2368. Making a to do list for when I get out of here. Maybe I can get on with my life and put this behind me.
