Other notes
- Marjorie Wallace became the first Miss United States to be crowned Miss World. The United States' representative had previously finished as first runner-up on five occasions, in 1954, 1955, 1956, 1965, and 1969. Wallace would also become the first winner not to complete her reign when she was fired[1] in March 1974, because she had "failed to fulfill the basic requirements of the job". [9] The title was offered to the First Runner Up, Evangeline Pascual of the Philippines but she declined. Marjorie was never officially replaced by any of the runners up.
gollark: Just listen on rednet.CHANNEL_REPEAT.
gollark: What? They can easily.
gollark: There is literally nothing stopping people from- reading all messages and seeing what transactions happen- pretending to be an ATM or the bank server
gollark: Also, my main worry with this is that it doesn't seem to be very secure.
gollark: It has Ctrl and stuff, sure.
