Will there be a 'mad man like Hitler'?: Dana Point time capsule reveals predictions for 2016

The year was 1966. Local officials in the coastal community of Dana Point were getting ready for a groundbreaking ceremony at the harbor. So, they did what a lot of towns did to preserve a little bit of history - they put together a time capsule.
