In addition to aligning dates and days to the years 1986, 1997, 2003 and 2014, 2025 matches up with the calendar for 1975, due to its periodic nature. I wonder what events from a half-a-century might resonate and repeat for the upcoming year. Proximate to other quinquagenaries, we have touched on some of the anniversaries already, like the rise of Margaret Thatcher, the reopening of the Suez Canal, the fall of Saigon and the end of the Franco dictatorship, but we wonder what else the past might say about the present.
