Suddenly, I feel very old. All my life, I've heard the USA is composed of 50 states, but it turns out I was born when there were only 48! Alaska became a state on January 3, 1959 followed by Hawaii on Aug. 21, 1959. Since only 7 months passed between those events, I have to wonder how many rare 49-star flags exist.
Speaking of stars: Dan Halpern's article in The New Yorker:
