Friday, March 29, 1974. Kent State Indictments

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

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.

Punchbowl, National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, O'ahu, Hawaii

Perhaps the most beautiful, and in someways the most somber, National Cemetery, this is the "Punchbowl" on O'ahu, Hawaii.  

Created after World War Two as a final resting place for the thousands of US servicemen who had died in the Pacific, it was established in 1949 and contains the remains of over 61,000 US servicemen who lost their lives in World War Two, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
