    Feb. 16, 2022 – In 1972, the first episode of The Price Is Right airs on CBS with host Bob Barker, and Bobby Fischer wins the World Chess Championship match in Reykjavik, Iceland, to become the first American chess champion.

    The song “American Pie” by Don McLean topped the charts, as did the movie “The Godfather.” Atari launches one of the first successful video games – “Pong.”

    In the era of the Cold War’s détente, President Richard Nixon visited the People’s Republic of China, a history-making trip that later inspired the 1987 opera Nixon in China by John Adams and Alice Goodman. In June, the Watergate scandal began.

    On March 3, the Pioneer 10 spacecraft was launched from Florida – to become the first spacecraft to reach the asteroid belt, Jupiter, and eventually, to leave the solar system. In December, NASA’s exploration of the moon ends when Apollo 17’s astronauts are the last to walk on the moon.

    In April, women for the first time officially compete in the Boston Marathon, and also are allowed to become FBI agents.

    Comedian George Carlin is arrested by Milwaukee police for public obscenity, after performing his act, "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" at Summerfest.
