Two blockbuster teams emerged from Texas as major contenders in the National Football League: the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Oil- ers. These political and athletic achievements focused nation- wide attention on Texas. How- ever, changes were also taking place within our nation and the world. Fads and fashions moved fast, hut this year with few’ exceptions the fads had a famil- iar form. Rollerskating and skateboarding, which went out years ago. came rolling back again.

Fashions turned back to straight-legged pants, spiked heels, vests, and narrow ties. Despite predictions that the running fad was out of breath, runners around the w-orld showed no signs of fatigue. Many new faces became overnight successes because they offfered a refreshing vital- ity that had been lacking the past few years. T.V.’s newest, oddest couple was Mork and Mindy.
