June 3, 1941 was the wedding date for Irving Wallace and Sylvia Kahn. Their children included David Wallechinsky and Amy Wallace who, in the Book of Lists, would include the 9 longest journeys cats took, on their own, to return to their owners.

Onora Sylvia O'Neill (August 23, 1941) is a British thinker. She studied at Oxford and received a doctorate from Harvard. After a noted career, in 1992, she accepted the post of Principal of N ewnham College, Cambridge, and since 2006 she has been Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge.
