YEAR ENC0MPAS9E8 GRIEF, HOPE Early this year, Watergate was still in the picture. President Ford par¬ doned former President Nixon for any and all crimes committed during his presidency. The Watergate Trial closed a sorry chapter in American history. Rockefeller ' s nomination as Vice President caused some trouble, but Rocky became Vice Pres ident. For the first time in this country ' s history, neither the President nor the Vice President has been elected by the American people. President Ford signed a bill to give tax payers a refund. Automobile deal¬ ers gave up to $500 cash rebates on certain 75 models. Inflation rose to a devastating double-digit number. To add to this, unemployment rose along with infla¬ tion. President Ford started WIN— Whip Inflation Now—policy, but it was hardly any help. For the first time since Franklin Roosevelt banned private ownership 41 years ago, Americans could hold and trade gold bullion. The century ' s longest war ended. Viet Cong and North Vietnamese poured into Saigon and raised the flag of provisional revolutionary govern¬ ment. In South Vietnam, refugees fled desperately from the Communists ' ad¬ vance. Operation Baby lift attempted to evacuate thousands of Vietnamese orphans to new homes in the U.S. Some of Hollywood ' s best and brightest—Charlie Weaver, Cass Elliott, Richard Long, Susan Hayward and superstars Jack Benny and Ed Sullivan —died. Aristotle Onassis, multi-mil¬ lionaire and husband of Jackie Ken¬ nedy died at the age of 69. Lindbergh died of cancer. Elton John was a big sensation with his music. The best selling record artist was John Denver. Godfather Part II ran off with seven Oscars. Ellyn Burstyn won best actress award for Alice Doesn ' t Live Here Anymore, and Art Carney won best actor award for Harry and Tonto. The rock opera Tommy thrilled thousands of young viewers.
