I happened to have been in Israel the day of the PSU game in 1995 and I 
wanted to desparately find out who had won the game knowing that if we won , we 
were definitely for real (  I guess beating ND, Michigan, and Wisc 35-0 wasnt 
good enough for me !)  And of course this was before widespread use of the 
internet

Israel is 8 hours ahead of Chicago and that evening their  Prime 
Minister,Yitzhak  Rabin was assassinated in Tel Aviv and the country was in mourning and I 
didnt really care who won the game. It was so horrible hearing the news that 
night while in a taxi cab.

Co-incidentally , a reporter  from Bloomberg , and a fellow NU grad was on my 
trip, and started his johnny on the spot reporting and interviewed me 
regarding the assassination--and after calling it in ,asked as to who won the game- 
and relayed the information to me--It was about the only clear thing I 
remembered from that evening--
