On November 27, 1960, a Houston branch of the All State insurance company buried a time capsule containing the predictions of more than 20,000 area students about life in 2000—the year of its planned exhumation. Reporter Lee Tucker shares a selection of the messages in this KPRC-TV news segment. One accurately projects a metro-area population exceeding 4.5 million people. Others are not quite as prophetic, from forecasts about interplanetary travel via flying saucer to the election of President Caroline Kennedy.
