November 3, 1974
That fall of 1974, gas ran $0.53 a gallon and Nixon was in the White House — just weeks before, the United Nations voted to grant the Palestinian Liberation Organization the right to participate in General Assembly debates, marking a significant shift in how the world body engaged with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. On the cultural front, Olivia Newton-John's "I Honestly Love You" sat at the top of the charts while Peter Benchley's "Jaws" was keeping readers up at night as the year's bestselling novel. The Oakland Athletics clinched their third consecutive World Series title by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers, the same fall that Muhammad Ali reclaimed the heavyweight championship of the world by knocking out George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire in what became known as the Rumble in the Jungle.
