The 1970s live again in this heavily illustrated scrapbook of reportage and commentary from the New York Times. Clyde Haberman—a journalist, columnist, and editor at the Times for over 40 years—has personally selected hundreds of items to create a time capsule of that turbulent decade, including historic events (the Attica prison riot, Watergate, the Pentagon Papers, the 1973 oil embargo, the hostage crisis in Iran) and cultural highlights (the Beatles break-up, the rise of disco, and musicians like Jimi Hendrix, the Bee Gees, and Patti Smith, as well as movies like Star Wars, The Godfather, and Jaws). Here too are pieces on influential personalities (Gloria Steinem, Bobby Fischer, Farrah Fawcett) and political figures (Richard Nixon, Pol Pot, Augusto Pinochet).
