NICAP’s membership continued to drop as it was led by Acuff and then Alan Hall. By now the organization was all but paralysed by infighting, including unsubstantiated charges that the Central Intelligence Agency had infiltrated NICAP. In fact, several persons with CIA ties had joined NICAP; however, their motives and reasons for joining NICAP have been the subject of some debate. One person specifically named as a suspected CIA infiltrator was retired Air Force Colonel Joseph Bryan III. His son, writer C.D.B. Bryan, dismisses this i ...

In 1973, Paley decided that "the beauty and the grouch" would make an anchor team able to compete with the NBC Today show. The beauty was Sally Quinn, a daughter of a Army general, who had worked for CBS at the 1968 political conventions, and at that time was a feature writer for the Washington Post. The grouch was Hughes Rudd, an old-school journalist who treated Paley like an old drinking buddy when he visited the Moscow CBS bureau on a trip. CBS launched the anchor pair with huge amounts of publicity. Unfortunately for CBS, within several days of Quinn's debut it became obvious she was totally unprepared ...

In 1970 Cook took over a project initiated by David Frost for a satirical film about an opinion pollster who rises to become President of Great Britain. Under Cook's guidance the character became modelled on Frost himself; the resulting film, The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer was not a great commercial success but is notable for the cast containing many notable names of the period. Peter Cook also provided financial backing for the satirical magazine, Private Eye, supporting the publication through a number of difficult perio ...

1970 was another great year for Hot Wheels®. Howard Rees, who worked with Ira Gilford, was tired of designing cars. He wanted to work on the Major Matt Mason action figure toy lineup. A good friend of Rees' was a man by the name of Larry Wood. They worked together at Ford designing cars. When Wood found out about Hot Wheels® at a party Rees was holding, Rees offered Wood the job of designing Hot Wheels®. Wood agreed, and by the end of the week, Larry Wood was working at Mattel. His first design would be the Tri-Baby. After 36 years, ...

The group reformed in 1973 with Welch back on rhythm guitar and the addition of Australian John Farrar on guitar and vocals, brought in following the death of John Rostill. An album, Rocking With Curly Leads featured Hank using vocoder to modify his distinctive sound. Some tracks used Farrar as a second lead guitarist, making this album sound fresh and different. The group were chosen by BBC Boss Billy Cotton Jr to perform the Song for Europe in the 1975 Eurovision Song Contest. The Shadows recorded a number of alternatives and ...

The early 1970s saw popular music being dominated by folk-based singer-songwriters like John Denver, Carol King and James Taylor, followed by the rise of heavy metal subgenres, glam, country rock and later, disco. Philly soul and pop-funk was also popular, while world music fusions became more commonplace and a major klezmer revival occurred among the Jewish community. Beginning in the early 70s, hip hop arose in New York City, drawing on diverse influences from both white and black folk music, Jamaican toasting and the performance poetry of Gil Scott-Heron.

Henson, Oz, and his team targeted an adult audience with a series of sketches on Saturday Night Live, set mostly in the Land of Gorch. Eleven sketches aired between October 1975 and January 1976, with four additional appearances in March, April, May, and September. The SNL writers never got comfortable writing for the characters. The failure of the Muppets on SNL might have been a blessing in disguise. Starting in 1976, The Muppet Show was occupying Henson's attention in the UK. The show featured Kermit as host, and a va ...

By 1974, another challenge to the state's authority and legitimacy had come from the 19th of April Movement (M-19), leading to a new phase in the conflict. The M-19 was a mostly urban guerrilla group, allegedly founded in response to an electoral fraud during the final National Front election of Misael Pastrana Borrero (1970 -1974) and the defeat of former dictator Gustavo Rojas Pinilla. Initially, the M-19 attracted a degree of attention and sympathy from mainstream Colombians that the FARC and ELN had found largely elusive. This was ...

The band's Wooden Nickel recordings, Styx (1972), Styx II (1973), The Serpent Is Rising (also 1973) and Man of Miracles (1974) were a mixture of straight-ahead rock with some dramatic prog-rock flourishes and art-rock aspirations. On the strength of these releases and constant playing in local clubs and schools, the band established a fan base in the Chicago area, but was unable to break into the mainstream until an early song, the power ballad "Lady" (from Styx II) began to earn some radio time, first on W ...

In the 1970s, the situation of religious groups in Czechoslovakia again deteriorated. The Roman Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of František Cardinal Tomášek, archbishop of Prague, was once more the principal target. Throughout the 1970s, the regime arrested clergy and lay people for distributing religious samizdat literature. Protestant and Jewish groups were also harassed, but the Orthodox churches and the Czechoslovak National Church were generally spared. In an effort to ensure a group of compliant and loyal cle ...
