Trivia Time: Some recent Internet browsing of ours yielded these nuggets from a Time, Inc. page: The two oldest people to be on the cover of Time magazine were "Grand Old Man" college football coach Amos Alonzo Stagg in 1958 (at age 96) and folk artist Anna Mary "Grandma" Moses in 1953 (at age 94). The youngest? An infant, for the August 1983 cover story "What Do Babies Know?"
Baby boomer Brad Williams, a radio news anchor in La Crosse, Wis., is one of only two people in the world known to have a "superior autobiographical memory" -- the ability to remember in minute detail everything about his life. Name any date in the past 40 years, and he'll tell you what happened to him on that day, as well as what was in the news that day.
He appeared on "Jeopardy!" in 1990, but didn't win.
