'Mi 1 Q 3 lil A Year of l-lippies, l-lea Twenty-four additional heart transplants were performed in nine different countries in the six-month period which followed Dr. Barnard's initial experiment. One of the great- est achievements in medical history, again involving Dr. Barnard, was the successful transplant of a new or- gan into the body of a dentist, Dr. Philip Blaiberg, 59. Within two months following the surgery, Dr. Blaiberg was driving his car on downtown shopping expeditions and was again living a normal life. Strikes by union members pre- sented problems during the period of June, 1967, through June of 1968, but none gained more public- ity than did the New York City sani- tation workers' strike. For nine days, the garbage piled up and spilled over into the streets of the nation's largest city. The situation became unbearable, and a conflict between Mayor John V. Lindsay and New York's Governor Nelson Rock- efeller regarding the strike's settle- ment only added to the appalling mess. On Broadway, curtains rose on many new shows, and unfortunate- ly, many of the shows were short- lived. One show, however, which first opened on Broadway in 1964, came alive again as Pearl Bailey led a new all-negro company in David lVlerrick's popular musical, I-lello, Dolly! Other top box-office attrac- tions included l-lallelujah, Baby! l-lappy Time, l-low Now, Dow Jones, and a psychedelic smash entitled l-lair. rts, Garbage

In the midst of trial and tribulation, under the warm California sun, Timo- thy Leary, self-appointed high priest of the LSD cult, urged thousands of young people to Turn on to the scene, tune into what's happening, and drop out-of high school, col- lege, grade school ... and follow me, the hard way, and immediately the year of love was well on its way. The young people who answered his call became known as hippies or flower children, and, in search of a new meaning for life, they turned to drugs, leisure, and love. San Fran- cisco's l-laight-Ashbury became the love capitol of the world as shabby- looking youngsters from coast to coast gathered to share their flower power with one another. ln cities across the country, groovy young people joined hands in love circles, gave one another daffodils and dai- sies, played their bongos, sang, or painted each other with bright col- ors. The real goals of the hippie move- ment remained unknown throughout the year, and after twelve months of love-mixed with fear, hate, and murder-the nightmare began to dissolve.

President John- son said American policy in Viet Nam would not be altered because of the secretary's departure. On December 3, the first success- ful transplant of a human heart was successfully performed in a Cape Town, South Africa, hospital. Dr. Christian Barnard, a specialist in open-heart surgery, headed a team of five surgeons in transplanting the heart of a young woman killed in an automobile accident into the body of 55-year-old Louis Washkansky, dying of heart damage. Washkansky died of pneumonia 18 days later. --my R.. Q f 4- 1 ff! all ww-il ,ff I :fig fn QI' vw,

RIGHT: Guru leader Maharishi Mahesh Yogi poses in the sitting position which he uses in giving lectures and making any personal appear- ances. BELOW RIGHT: A bewildered and fright- ened Dustan Hoffman faces his first and rather Startling test as a college graduate. This past year was truly the year of the Guru-pronounced goo-ROD, meaning a spiritual teacher. The most famous of the Guru leaders was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who based his teachings on the wisdom of Vedanta, as the Hindu philosophy is properly called. The philosophy holds that God is to be found in ev- ery creature and object, that the purpose of human life is to realize the godliness in oneself and that re- ligious truths are universal. The Maharishi further added a formula for instant meditation which pro- vided a state of expanded con- sciousness or oneness with God. Showing a flair for publicity, the Maharishi held press conferences, lectured, and made television ap- pearances throughout the nation. Among the noted followers of his doctrine were the Beatles and Mia Farrow Sinatra. At the movies, a young man with a rather homely nose, beady eyes, and terrible slouch became an over- night sensation as the non-hero in one of the most talked about films, The Graduate. Standing only 5'6 tall, Dustan Hoffman portrayed the role of an innocent college graduate who was thrown into a corrupting world. Although The Graduate seemed to be a favorite among theatre- goers, the motion picture had to give way to In the l-leat of the Night as the latter received the Academy Award for being singled out as the best motion picture of the year.

Receiving the top act- ing awards were Katherine Hepburn for her role in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and Rod Steiger for his performance in In the l-leat of the Night. The first week of April, 1968, re- mains a memorable one for Ameri- cans, for rarely in this nation's his- tory has hope and horror been so sharply and painfully fused within one week. President Johnson's an- nouncement of a major peace offen- sive in Asia, coupled with his renun- ciation of another term, raised hopes for world peace. This hope quickly dwindled, however, with the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King in Memphis, Tennessee, April 4. The action of an unknown sniper, the murder rekindled a series of ra- cial disturbances throughout the nation. , .K I Y il 5-4- --.. .lf A' M 1 4 Ei,
