1971 was a year when the space race was in full swing.  Earth day is founded, and a serial killer and his followers are judged by their peers.  The Vietnam War continues, and it sees its troop numbers decrease dramatically, and experiences much public dissension as voters get younger.  Christie's auctions a fake, and we saw the beginning of the e-book era.  Meanwhile, the movie scene is filled with drama and popular music saw everything from disco to ballads to jazz.  Hot pants, bell bottoms and knickers dominated the bottom of the fashion world, while cowl necks covered our tops.  Hairstyles were still influenced by the hippie scene.
