1970s was declared by the Wall Street Journal to mark the end of an era — in this case the end of an era which had never been recognized while it was in force. The era of the 1960s, meanwhile, had come and gone.

In the Carter Administration, with Zbigniew Brzezinski as advisor to the President, an announcement was made that a new era in international relations had begun with the recognition of China.

The Nixon Administration, even with the help and guidance of Henry Kissinger, never claimed that it had started an era or an epoch, although it did have a number of “firsts” including the “incursion” into Cambodia, the first incursion conducted by the United States in its history (as distinguished from a number of invasions), and the first presidential resignation in the history of that office.

The Reagan Administration this < year, well into its sixth year of power, has not claimed or been credited with either starting, experiencing, or weathering an era. It has not even claimed a Nixon-like first.
