Watergate, Warhol and the Birth of Post-Sixties America

[Anville Azote]

Quoting gloominess:

> If you're old enough to remember 1973 -- and if you
> aren't, consider yourself lucky -- you know one thing
> for sure: It was a bummer. Watergate, busing, white
> flight, Patty Hearst, Andy Warhol, "Deep Throat,"
> blaxploitation flicks, "Last Tango in Paris,"
> Gravity's Rainbow , "An American Family," Vietnam,
> POWs, the "Me Decade," Fear of Flying , the economy
> down the tube, endless gas lines, "The Exorcist" --
> was there anything good about 1973?
