Friday, March 29, 1974. Kent State Indictments

Eight members of the Ohio National Guard were indicted by a Federal Grand Jury for violation of civil rights due to the shooting of thirteen students at Ken State in 1970.  Five of the charges were felonies.


All the charges would be dismissed for lack of sufficient evidence on November 8.

The Chinese Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang was discovered.  The massive statuary army was built to protect the Emperor, who was interred around 210 BC to 209 BC in the afterlife.

Speed limits on British highways, which had been reduced due to the Oil Embargo, were restored.

The Volkswagen Golf was introduced as the replacement for the Beetle.
