As we start this last year of the 70’s, we'd like to take a brief look at the past decade. It was one of great activity at home and abroad. In 1971 the 21st Amendment was passed, allowing 18-year-olds the right to vote. Richard Nixon made his trip to China in 1972 and was re-elected over McGovern. 1973 brought the Watergate affair and Spiro Agnew’s resig- nation. The World’s Fair opened in Spokane during 1974 and many Garfield County residents attended. Gerald Ford became President after Nixon resigned and Nelson Rockefeller became Vice-president. The Vietnamese War ended and Patty Hearst was captured in 1975.
