• The first “plain language law” in the United States went into effect in the state of New York, directing that all consumer contracts for less than $50,000—including leases, loans and credit card agreements—must be written in “a clear and coherent manner, using words with common and everyday meanings.”
• The Presidential Records Act, changing the ownership of a U.S. president’s records to the National Archives, rather than allowing former presidents to retain their business records, was signed into law by President Jimmy Carter. The new law was enacted after former President Richard Nixon sought, after his resignation in 1974, to destroy his records as president.
• The 401(k), the most popular retirement savings plan in American history, was created by the signing into law of the Revenue Act of 1978, an amendment of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

Ted Turner’s WTCG in Atlanta was the first superstation, launched two years earlier.
