Our airliners were being hijacked regularly and blown up. There were still race riots in our cities, and even one that year in the navy. The Soviets also terrified us into signing a nuclear arms reduction treaty. I remember the early seventies as a time of disarray at home and humiliation overseas. Yes, there was breezy bluster in these ads, but there's that in today's ads too. (Probably more sabre-rattling now, as a matter of fact).

Actually, the country was even more divided than today. Of course, Vietnam had a lot to do with it but the country was sharply divided by many of the same "culture war" issues we have today. Inflation was so bad in 1971 , Nixon ordered a "wage price freeze" . A year later in 1973, an OPEC oil embargo triggered the first so called "energy crisis" . Also, the county had just as many social and environmental problems then as now .
