Hand calculators were high tech.

Thongs were a type of FOOTWEAR

Iran was an ally (at least through most of the 70's)

The football Cardinals were in St. Louis

There were 2 Germanies

Russia was a Republic inside the Soviet Union.

Nuclear weapons were something people were trying to make UNusable.
