Events that seemed certain to affect U.S. security and world peace for years to come dominated the news in 1972, raising hopes for a brighter era than we have seen in a long time. But, as always, there was a dark side to the picture. The historic U.S. summits with Red China and the Soviet Union eased tensions between Washington and the two Communist powers and raised hoped briefly for peace in Indochina. Fighting continued in Northern Ireland, and the Middle East smoldered, flaring fitfully as Arab terrorists struck and Israel retaliated. It was a year in which the American Presidential election was marred by the attempted assassination of a candidate, and the peaceful theme of the Summer Olympics was shattered by a bloody massacre. On the economic home front, hopes for a boom surged as the Dow Jones Industrial Average broke through the 1,000 mark for the first time. But experts warned of a possible new wave of inflation. Whether the news was good or bad, The World in 1972 has attempted to present a true account through the writings of the men and women who covered these events and who make up the Associated Press. Extensive photographs illustrate the stories.
