  • The last cigarette commercials on U.S. television and radio were broadcast, and tobacco manufacturers spent $1,250,000 for the farewell advertising prior to the ban that went into effect at midnight. The last commercial was a 60-second ad for Virginia Slims that was run by the Philip Morris company at 11:59 during a break on The Tonight Show on NBC.[2] The company had bought the last pre-midnight ads on the late night talk shows of all three networks, with ads for Marlboro on CBS on The Merv Griffin Show and for Benson & Hedges on ABC on The Dick Cavett Show[3][4]
  • The major bowl games of the 1970 college football season saw the #1 and #2 ranked teams defeated in the afternoon and in the evening, respectively. In Dallas, the Cotton Bowl was a rematch of the 1969 Cotton Bowl, when Notre Dame was upset by Texas. In the rematch, the #1-ranked Texas Longhorns lost to the #6 Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, 24 to 11.[5] Notre Dame, whose shot at #1 had been dashed by the Longhorns the year before, snapped a streak of 30 consecutive Texas victories as future NFL great Joe Theismann ran for two touchdowns and passed for another. Later in the day, the second-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes lost to the #12-ranked Stanford Indians (now the Stanford Cardinal), losing 27 to 17 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Thus, the #3-ranked #3 Nebraska Cornhuskers, who had beaten the #5 LSU Tigers at the Orange Bowl at the Orange Bowl in Miami after the Cotton Bowl and before the Rose Bowl, were the only major unbeaten team in the nation, with a final record of 11 wins, no losses and one tie.[6] The Cornhuskers were voted #1 in the Associated Press poll of sportswriters on January 4.[7] Texas is also noted as the NCAA as a 1970 college football champion for its 10-0-0 regular season record and its #1 ranking at season's end by United Press International's poll of college coaches; UPI did not do a postseason poll at the time.

Professor Yigal Yadin explained that the conclusion of crucifixion was supported by the discovery of a corroded iron nail in the heel bones of the victim, which the persons who buried Jehohanan had been unable to remove before burial because the nail had been bent after striking a knot in the wood of the cross.[18]

  • The landmark television sitcom All in the Family premiered on CBS at 9:30 in the evening, opposite the ABC and NBC made-for-TV movies. Based on the British television comedy series Till Death Us Do Part),[67] the TV series starred Carroll O'Connor as Archie Bunker, an openly-bigoted factory worker in Queens, with Jean Stapleton, Sally Struthers and Rob Reiner as his wife, daughter and son-in-law living in the same house. The critics' reactions varied; Cynthia Lowry of the Associated Press called it "a half hour of vulgarity and offensive dialogue" with "little humor and considerable embarrassment"[68] and of The New York Times observed Archie Bunker's remarks and said "None of these is funny. They shock because one is not used to hearing them... They don't make one laugh so much as they force self-conscious, semi=amused gasps.".[69] Clarence Petersen of the Chicago Tribune, however, said "Do not miss it. It's the boldest, brashest new series since Laugh-In made its debut... it is the substance, not the form, that will guarantee the show a place in television history.".[70] Surprisingly, there was little protest over the show, with CBS affiliates in New York and Los Angeles getting less than 200 phone calls, split evenly between complaints and praise.[71] The show was also the first to be videotaped in front of a live audience, as opposed to being filmed with a laugh track added in editing. Though not highly-rated in its first season, the topical and controversial themes of the show drew notice and viewers tuned into the summer reruns of All in the Family. By the end of the 1971-72 season, it was the #1 most-watched show on American TV, with a 34.0 rating in its position at 8:00 on Saturday evening.

U.S. President Nixon signed an executive order four days later suspending the work permanently[88] because of its potential to destroy the Oklawaha River, which Nixon referred to as "a uniquely beautiful semi-tropical dream".

  • At the 25th convention of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (the LDP or Jimintō), which had kept a majority in parliament for all but one year since its 1955 founding, delegates changed the party rules to effectively place term limits on the Prime Minister of Japan, a response to Prime Minister Eisaku Sato's selection in November to a fourth two-year term.[114] In that the chairman of the majority party was Japan's premier, the new rule provided that the chairman could serve two three-year terms, but would require approval by a two-thirds majority of LDP members of each of the two houses of parliament. The rules change allowed for Kakuei Tanaka to be selected as the new chairman and prime minister a few months before the 1972 parliamentary elections.

  • Alwatan made its debut as the first newspaper of the Sultanate of Oman, which had previously relied on Arabic-language publications from neighboring nations. '[143]
  • The strict "Comics Code" of the Comics Code Authority was revised for the first time since its promulgation in 1954, with the ease of restrictions on certain prohibitions, with the new provisions to take effect on February 1. The meeting was held in New York between the representatives of the five major comic book publishers at the time, National Publications (which marketed DC Comics), Marvel Comics, Harvey Comics, Archie Comics and Charlton Comics.[144] The revision allowed for depictions of horror fiction characters that had a background in classical literature, permitting "vampires, ghouls and werewolves... when handled in the classic tradition."
  • John J. Pershing College of Beatrice, Nebraska abruptly informed its students that the college was closing permanently at noon, five days before the second semester of the 1970-1971 school year was to start. The college had been founded in 1966 with the mission of providing a "second chance for students in academic trouble elsewhere" but had been steadily losing money, dropping from a peak of 570 students to 385 when the trustees voted to end its existence.[145]
  • Born: Mickalene Thomas, African-American artist; in Camden, New Jersey[146]

  • Court-martial charges arising from the My Lai massacre against U.S. Army Major General Samuel W. Koster, who had been accused of attempting to cover up the March 16, 1968 mass killings of South Vietnamese civilians, were dropped by the commanding general of the U.S. First Army.[148] Major General Koster, a former superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, had been the division commander of the 23rd Infantry Division, whose soldiers had been implicated in the killing.

  • The UCLA Bruins college basketball team began a winning streak of 88 consecutive games, defeating UC-Santa Barbara 74-61, seven days after losing to the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, 89-82. Ironically, Notre Dame would end the streak, defeating UCLA 71-70 on January 19, 1974.
  • Died: Winifred Goldring, 82, American palaeontologist

  • Apollo 14, carrying astronauts Alan B. Shepard, Jr., Stuart Roosa, and Edgar Mitchell on the first manned lunar mission since the failure of Apollo 13, lifted off from Cape Kennedy at 4:03 p.m. local time (2103 UTC). The mission was almost aborted after "a harrowing two-hour struggle" to dock the command ship with the lunar module that would be used to carry Shepard and Mitchell to a lunar landing. The secure docking was finally achieved but, as a reporter noted afterward "if the two craft had failed to make a firm link-up, all plans for a landing on the moon early next Friday would have been abandoned."[150] Shepard, who had been the first American to travel into outer space, would become the oldest person to walk on the Moon on February 4.
  • At 6:00 in the morning, telephone service between East Germany and West Germany was opened for the first time in almost 20 years, with ten lines available for families separated by the Berlin Wall to talk to each other.[151] Under the agreement, the system would handle a maximum of 750 calls per day, and the quota was reached at 8:30, two and a half hours after it started. Phone service between the two Germanys had been halted since May 1952.
  • Died: Gunnar Jahn, 88, Norwegian jurist, economist, statistician, Liberal politician and resistance member[152]
