THE STORY:

Watergate was the bubbling undercurrent this year as Nixon polished his tarnished image with the American Public by his historic visits to Russia and China. The U.S.Senate passed the Equal Rights Amendment essentially giving the Women's Liberation Movement real strength. MS. Magazine, published by Gloria Stenhiem, would not only tell women how to make face cream but, how to take control of their lives. Cocaine and guys wearing Flashy Pimp Clothes would be seen in most Major Cities sparking Box Office hits like "Superfly" and "Dirty Harry". You might remember Mark Spitz covered in Gold Medals from the Munich Olympics, and Jane Fonda who was in the News, more than out of it, with her views on the Vietnam War. And, speaking of Box Office Hotties, you weren't anybody unless you had a Black Market Film Version of Linda Lovelaces 'Deep Throat" Porn Film. Michael Jackson topped the Charts with his song about rats, "Ben" (go figure). Airline's Screening Passengers became mandatory due to all the hi-jackings of planes this year, and Gov. George Wallace would be shot while campaigning for the Presidency in Laurel Maryland, . The Top Albums would be Chicago "V", Elton John "Honkey Chateau", Roberta Flack "First Take" and America "America'. But, the most Memorable Event, for most, would be the release of the Cult Film "God Father" which would earn Marlon Brando an Oscar for Best Actor, and Francis Ford Coppola one for Best Picture. All in all 1972 was a Great Year.
