Ford nominated Nelson Rockefeller for the Vice-Presidency. He was accepted only after an extensive investigation by Congress, ©ther scandals included the Watergate instigators, Wilbur Mills and an exotic dancer , and Patty Hearst. The Middle East was a great wordly interest this past year. The world saw a great turmoil of continous wars, ass- assinations, threats, and manipulation of oil prices. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger gradually became a new folk hero with his repeated visits to the troubled Middle East in attempts to help the battle-weary countries. Of special political interest to Ameri- can women was the Equal Rights Amend- ment. The amendment was passed by the House two times, and was rejected by the Senate two times. The amendment will not be made valid unless 35 states ratify it and, as of now, only 34 states have have done so. What affected people even more close- ly was, and is, the economy. The average person first had to contend with astrono- mical gas prices, and an energy crisis. With ever-increasing unemployment and rising prices, some economists feared not only recession, but depression. Never before, even in the depression of the 30's have Americans had to face inflation AND a recession. The lines at supermarkets resembled those at unemployment offices and gas stations. Americans faced short- ages of common products such as sugar, antifreeze, and canning products. All of these things, - -inflation, reces- sion, scandals and resignations--perhaps affected Americans in an even more ser- ious way. With all that has happened, many Americans don't care what happens next. Newsmen began calling this general atmosphere apathy. This was especially noticeable at election time when many people didn't even bother to go to the polls. We wonder--what will 1976 reflect? 5
