Fun and Fashion
 

An improvisatory folk-rock band called the Warlocks (led by Jerry Garcia), soon to be renamed the Grateful Dead, is formed.

New this year are The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO, soft contact lenses, an indoor sports stadium (Astrodome in Houston, TX), the lava lamp and the IBM word processor.

A favorite honeymoon spot this year is Niagara Falls.
