All I know is that Jimmy Carter was President of the United States when I was born, and Walter Mondale was the Vice President.

Not sure about who all was in the Cabinet at the time, though.

But I do know that Jerry Brown was in his first stint as Governor of California, and Tom Bradley was mayor of Los Angeles.
