...without question the most dazzling state visit that Washington had seen in years. When His Imperial Majesty Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, and his lovely Shahbanou (Imperial Consort), Empress Farah, arrived at the White House for a four-day state visit Thursday, they were greeted by silver-colored trumpets, red carpets and a 21-gun salute that boomed across the South Lawn. Gerald Ford, the seventh U.S. President that the Shah has met in his 34-year reign, greeted his Iranian guests with the kind of warmth normally reserved for close and deeply trusted friends. Outside the White...
...quite. Washington is not yet prepared to lift the embargo, although pressures have been mounting within both the State Department and Congress for normalizing American-Cuban relations. Last week Senator George McGovern, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, flew to Cuba for a four-day visit.

Sure that some sort of student reaction was coming, school officials removed sensitive files from the main administration building and stored them in vaults. Some administrators quietly set up emergency offices in other buildings. Then on Thursday morning, a group of minority students (primarily black but including some Asians and Hispanics) converged on University Hall, the redbrick, pre-Revolutionary...
...worst prison uprising in the nation's history. At the time, Hill was in Attica for attempted assault, and Pernasilice was serving a sentence for possession of a stolen motorcycle. Quinn was one of 43 men (eleven guards and 32 convicts) who died as a result of the four-day riot in September 1971-most of them shot by state police when they stormed the maximum-security prison in upstate New York behind a fusillade of bullets...
