While Americans survived the Bicentennial hang-over, countries like Angola, Lebanon, and lrelancl suf- fered from civil strife. South Africans demanded a black majority rule over a white minority government under Rhodesian Prime Min- ister lan Smith. Lebanese Christians protested the endless war between Palestinian and lsraeli troops. The everlasting Arab-Israeli conflict continued with the raid on Entebbe. With the death of Helmsman Mao Tse-lung, the 82 year old Marxist who ruled Red China for three decades, the country faced the problems of adapt- ing to a new leadership under Chairman Hua Kuo-feng. At home, the worst civil strife Americans faced was the question of who our 39th president would be. The experienced incumbent, Gerald Ford, lost to a liberal grassroots peanut farmer, Jimmy Car- ter, former governor of Georgia. Natural disasters struck countries worldwide. Earthquakes devas- tated villages in Turkey, Italy, the Philippines, New Guinea, Guate- mala, and Tangshan, China, with casualties surpassing the worst natural disasters in history. The U.S. survived a severe winter. The West Coast and Midwestern states suffered from drought, browning wheat and maize crops. As a major food producer, America cap- tured worldwide attention of countries depending on U.S. farm- ers for their well-being. The East Coast struggled through a winter of blizzards followed by a spring of floods. Scientists speculated that earth was experiencing the preliminary states of an lce Age. Ameri- cans began to realize the Energy Crisis was not just an excuse for oil companies to raise prices. Congressional studies and proposals were set up to find an answer to the Energy Crunch. Women furthered their liberation movement with the growing popularity of ERA. Young women were admitted to naval academies in spite of countless objections by generals against co-ed cam- puses. Episcopalians ordained female priests while Pope Paul denounced the thought of a priest not being in the image of Christ. Austin elected its first woman mayor, former school board president Carol Ketton McClellan, America had always been the land of plenty. As countries worldwide suffered from domestic problems and disasters, we began to appreciate the fact that we lived in the land of the free and the home of the brave. l i
