Overview
1964 was the year an American report concluded that smoking cigarettes was harmful, and The Beatles created hysteria during their world tour. We were visited by two elderly gentlemen — Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev and one of the world's greatest actors, Charlie Chaplin. Three Norwegians who influenced the year comment on its events. Long jumper Berit Tøien, a world-class athlete, became a media darling when she married her coach. Rolv Wesenlund used television to reach a wide audience, and Olav Øverland got close to all kinds of events as a newly hired reporter for the Dagsrevyen (TV news).
