Overview: 1965 was the year the twenty-year Gerhardsen era came to an end. Einar Gerhardsen stepped down as prime minister, and Per Borten took over as the head of a center-right government. A Russian cosmonaut made the first spacewalk, and the U.S. began using napalm bombs in the Vietnam War. «The Grenade Man» terrorized Oslo’s population with several explosions, and The Beatles sang «Yesterday». Three Norwegians who shaped the year comment on its events. Sverre Kjelsberg experienced Beatles-like hysteria with the band Pussycats, Bjørn Nilsen traveled the country as a Dagsrevyen reporter, and Wenche Foss acted in film and radio by day and performed on stage at the National Theatre by night — all while being a mother to Fabian.
