I would definitely go for a hierarchical display rather than presenting the user with 70 choices. Give them a choice among the 6 main categories, then a new display with the sub-choices relevant to that category. The 6 main categories could be radio buttons or tabs that show & hide groups holding the rest of the choices. They could be option buttons or whatever type of menu button you preferred.
