• Comedic poet Ogden Nash died, aged 68
• China was admitted to the United Nations
• London Bridge was officially opened to the public, in the Arizona desert
• Disney World opens its gates in Florida

During 1971 the Manson trial dominated the headlines in America, while on a lighter note Disney World opened its gates for the first time and gave millions of kids somewhere else to plead with their parents to go to.
