From the Paper:

"Today, in the first years of the 21st century, many people in their 40's, 50's, and 60's, the so-called "Baby Boomers", look back, in some ways fondly, in other ways not so fondly, on the early "70's": the time of their childhood, adolescence, or younger adulthood. The year 1973 in particular was a distinctive year, in which many memorably good events took place, but also some bad ones, including the Arab Oil embargo, which severely restricted gasoline for cars available to the American public, created huge gas station lines, and sent gas prices skyrocketing, and the run-up to the Watergate impeachment hearings and Richard Nixon's impeachment in 1974."
