Turmoil over the expanding Vietnam War escalated in May 1970 when 13 students protesting the war at Kent State University in Ohio were shot by members of the National Guard. Four of the students died and the tide of public opinion turned against the war. The break-out stars of the 60s, the British Fab Four— The Beatles—broke up in 1970. Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned on October 10, 1973 over allegations that he had accepted kickbacks and bribes as Governor of Maryland and in his position as vice president. At that time, the House Minority Leader, Gerald R. Ford, was nominated by President Richard M. Nixon to fill the role of Vice President. Ford was confirmed first by the Senate and then by the House becoming Vice President in December 1973. The Watergate Scandal in 1972 would ultimately cause President Nixon to resign from office effective at noon on August 9, 1974 rather than go through an impeachment. When Nixon resigned, Ford was sworn in as the 38th President of the United States at 12:05 p.m. becoming the only unelected president in US history. In 1976 America celebrated its Bicentennial with a birthday party from sea to shining sea.

  • Dallas (1978 TV Series)
    Dallas (1978 TV series) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the original 1978–1991 television series. For the sequel, see Dallas (2012 TV series). Dallas is a long-running American prime time television soap opera that aired from April 2, 1978, to May 3, 1991, on CBS. The series revolves around a wealthy and feuding Texan family, the Ewings, who own the independent oil company Ewing Oil and the cattle-ranching land of Southfork. The series originally focused on the marriage of Bobby Ewing and Pamela Barnes, whose families were sworn enemies with each other. As the series progressed, oil tycoon J.R. Ewing grew to be the show's main character, whose schemes and dirty business became the show's trademark.[1] When the show ended in May 1991, J.R. was the only character to have appeared in every episode. The show was famous for its cliffhangers, including the Who shot J.R.? mystery. The 1980 episode Who Done It remains the second highest rated prime-time telecast ever.[2] The show also featured a "Dream Season", in which the entirety of the ninth season was revealed to have been a dream of Pam Ewing's. After 14 seasons, the series finale "Conundrum" aired in 1991. The show had a relatively ensemble cast. Larry Hagman stars as greedy, scheming oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, stage/screen actressBarbara Bel Geddes as family matriarch Miss Ellie and movie Western actor Jim Davis as Ewing patriarch Jock, his last role before his death in 1981. The series won four Emmy Awards, including a 1980 Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series win for Bel Geddes.
