My, oh my, what a year it has been… As 2012 comes to a close, we look back on the year through a lens comprised of 12 utterly distinct posts, from a gallery celebrating an interracial romance in 1960s Virginia to ruminations on a classic photograph of Albert Einstein’s office at Princeton, made on the very day that the great man died. What becomes evident the moment one starts looking at the pictures in this gallery, meanwhile, is the truly astonishing variety of stories that appeared in LIFE magazine. Pictured: Hillary Rodham (later Hillary Rodham Clinton), Park Ridge, Illinois, June 1969.
