In the spotlight.. ' The year 1976-77 proved to be quite a year for changes. It was an election year. A peanut farmer and former governor of Georgia, Jimmy Carter, won the nomination of the Democratic party and then went on to win the Presidential Election. The race between Jimmy Carter and President Ford was closer than most. The final electoral vote was Carter 297, Ford 240. Television and movies became a means of escape for some, while others watched on, seeking only entertainment. Barbara Walters left NBC ' S Today show for the ABC Evening News and a million dollar contract. Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman became the most talked-about new soap opera. Many television stations gave it an X rating and showed it late at night. And King Kong was back again, frightening New York in a new movie. Many people stood in lines waiting to get a swine flu shot, the cure for which there was no known disease. In the end, the Government called off the shots to see if a crippling disease, which affected more than 100 people, was related to the shots. This was also the year of the Olympic Games. Bruce Jenner, a former student of Graceland College in Lamoni, won the Decathlon. Nadia Comaneci, a 14- year-old Rumanian gymnast, charmed the world with her excellent abilities. Capital punishment was gradually reinstated. Gary Gilmore (convicted murderer of three people) who had been given a life sentence, decided he did not want to live out his life behind bars. After numerous attempts by human rights groups to call off his execution, the Supreme Court decided not to stand in his way. He requested death by a firing squad.
