The death of former president Lyndon B. Johnson started 1973 on a sorrowful note. The entire country mourned the loss of this great man. The 71 day siege at Wounded Knee caused everyone to stop and think about what the treatment of Indians has been. Unrestrained joy and relief was ex- pressed by all at the news that the P.O. W. ' s were coming home. Watergate hearings were of great interest during the summer of ' 73. The scandal of the cover up and the tapes involved many people of high importance in the government. President Nixon was accused of many things, threatened by impeachment, and asked to resign. Speech - making occupied much of the President ' s time as he de- fended himself and his ideals. Triple crown winner Secre - tariat won everyone ' s heart, and also won the Performer of the Year Award, the first time this award has gone to an animal rather than a person. Great advances in technology were shown by the Skylab Orbiting Laboratory and the two manned flights. The first stay of 59 days, and the second of 84 days proved the progress man has made in the space field. The Skylab Orbiting Laboratory was photographed by the men as they left it after their 59 day stay there.
