I'd be up for it. Stalin's death/end of the Korean war could be another idea for when to begin.
What happened to the talk about an 1836 RP as well?
There are a lot of interesting possibilities.
The 1836 would be a WiR RP, and what I'm thinking is not... SEE THIS FOR THE OLD VERSION But on the Old Guild there was one that started in 1960. Another interesting start would be the Bay of Pigs or Kennedy's Assassination...
