The cover story on the Jackson Five takes readers into the world of one of the most popular musical groups of the time, showcasing their rise to fame and their unique family dynamic. This article gives a glimpse into the lives of these young music icons, who became a symbol of youth and energy during a transformative era in pop culture. In stark contrast, the magazine provides in-depth coverage of Attica Prison’s Bloody Monday (Pg. 26), a brutal episode in American history. The rebellion, which lasted five days, culminated in a violent confrontation where at least 41 men lost their lives. Through a chilling retelling of the events inside the prison and an interview with penologist Dr. Norval Morris, correspondent John Pekkanen explores whether reform is inevitable after such a devastating event. Other notable features include a poignant reflection on the quiet passing of Nikita Khrushchev (Pg. 40), the once-feared Soviet leader who slipped into relative obscurity by the time of his death. This piece provides a somber look at the life of a man who once held immense power on the global stage. A fascinating article titled The Rock Family Affair (Pg. 46) showcases rock stars photographed at home with their parents by John Olson, giving readers a glimpse into the personal lives of famous musicians and their often-surprising family dynamics. On the investigative front, The Promoter and the Crime Buster (Pg. 59) raises questions about the relationship between Texas financier Frank Sharp and federal law enforcement officer Will Wilson. Written by Donald Jackson, the piece delves into the ethical ambiguities surrounding their connection, inviting readers to consider the blurred lines between power and legality. In a touching story titled Take Me Fishing (Pg. 65), a fatherless 12-year-old boy places an ad seeking an adult angling companion, tugging at the heartstrings with his desire for mentorship and companionship. This article highlights the universal need for connection and guidance. Other features include an exploration of Bill Moore’s efforts to save the failing Penn Central Railroad (Pg. 69), as well as a vibrant showcase of a new wave of American painters (Pg. 74), whose canvases brim with fresh color and innovative techniques. Readers are also treated to Edward Weston's graceful nature photography (Pg. 6) and Thor Heyerdahl's journey across a polluted ocean in a paper boat (Pg. 81). In addition, the issue includes reviews of Graham Greene's autobiography (Pg. 10) and George Garrett's fictional work on Sir Walter Ralegh (Pg. 10), along with insights into the pro football establishment from Heywood Hale Broun (Pg. 10). This issue of Life Magazine presents a diverse array of stories, from the sensational to the introspective, offering readers a snapshot of the cultural, political, and artistic currents shaping the world in 1971.
