1975. A year that will be remem¬ bered as a year of many shakeups in the country. A year also to be remembered as a time when a lot of international change went on. Almost a year before the celebration of America’s Bicentennial, a very historic event in the relations between the United States and the U.S.S.R. took place. The U.S. astronauts and Russian cosmonauts linked up in space. The event signified the cooperation that could be reached be¬ tween the two countries. With the rising temperatures of the summer, many tempers also rose. Espe¬ cially those of some parents protesting forced busing for the purpose of desegre¬ gation in Louisville. Kentucky. Outraged parents traveled to Washington D.C. to protest the forced busing. Less than a month apart. President Gerald Ford almost lost his life twice. Lyn- ette Squeakey Fromme attemped to kill the President, but Secret Service agents noticed the gun and grabbed it before she had a chance to shoot it. A few weeks later. Ford had another close brush with death. Sara Jane Moore, a middle aged woman, took a shot at Ford, but was unsuccessful when a man knocked her hand down as she fired. Other members of the President ' s family also made the news. Mrs. Betty Ford surprised everyone with her frank remarks about many controversial sub¬ jects while on the T.V. show ' ‘60 Min¬ utes . Their son. Jack, also made news when he announced that he had smoked pot. Many people felt that it was a re¬ freshing change to have a First Family who were so open about many subjects. One of the biggest news items of the year was the capture of heiress Patty Hearst who puzzled the world when she joined her kidnappers in the Symbionese Liberation Army, or S.L.A. Miss Hearst. or Tanya, as she was referred to by her fel¬ low S.L.A. members, was captured in San Francisco after a chase that lasted well over a year. The United States started to prepare early for the Presidental election in 76 ' . Vice President Rockefeller suprised many when he announced that he wouldn ' t run with President Ford in the election. Prep¬ arations for the election came at about the same time that many people were preparing for the celebration of the Bi¬ centennial. New York City, one of the largest and most important cities in the world went broke. The question of whether or not the government should give aid to the city was a controversial one. Outside of the U.S. there was very important news being made elsewhere. In Spain, dictator Franco died leaving his chosen successor, Juan Carlos as the first king of Spain in many years. Women from all over the world gath¬ ered in Mexico City to begin the United Nation’s sponsored International Wom¬ en ' s Year. Many women in the U.S. gath¬ ered together to work for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. In the Entertainment world. Robert Redford was a favorite again! Voted one of the top box office attractions. Redford starred in Three Days of the Condor with Faye Dunaway. A movie about the corruptness of the C.I.A., Condor was along the same lines as All the Presi¬ dent ' s Men , which was released in the spring. With many of the new T.V. shows flopping, a few made it into the homes of many viewers. Phyllis , a spinoff of The Mary Tyler Moore Show was very popu¬ lar as was Switch”. In sports, the Cincinnati Reds beat the Boston Red Sox in a close World Se¬ ries competition. The Winter Olympics were held in Austria. People in Montreal. Canada have been preparing for the Sum¬ mer Olympics which will be held there. The world around us. An active, non¬ stop, exciting place. A world where impor¬ tant things are happening every day.
