1975 In 1975 the United States began its adjust- ment to a world where events seemed to out- run our capacity to absorb them. While Rocke- feller began investigations into the misdeeds of the CIA and Ford announced the U.S. was in a recession, the Bicentennial celebrations officially began. In April, Vietnam again e ntered the news as the re- . maining U.S. personnel had to be evacuated from Saigon. Meanwhile, New York City was in the midst of financial crisis. The danger of aerosol sprays to the atmosphere, an assassination at- tempt on Ford, the UN declaration of ay Zionism as a form of racism, and the J dictatorial emergency in India § were other newsworthy sy events. lh Sx 4 LYNG THE WORLD AROUND‘US
