r The World Around Us «• t 1976 America demonstrated its capacity to adapt in 1976. Old faces reappeared and new faces stepped forward to provide new hopes. The Win ter Olympics, Surveyor ' s Mars photos, the national political conventions and the election of Jimmy Carter dominated the news and TV screens. The U.S. began to celebrate our 200th birthday. Marijuana was decriminalized in California, a new investi- gation of the Kennedy and King assassinations was begun, and in Congress a new scandal began a result of Elizabeth Ray ' s revelations. Mean while, old faces made one last appearance as Eldridge Cleaver returned to the U.S for trial, Mao died in China, and King Kong returned to New York in an oil tanker.
