Topsy-turvy ending for decade 19 9 1980 28 The Year Wars and rumors of wars made our heads reel as we made war on the economy and watched the world situation. Violence swept the globe in the form of ter- rorist activities. Closest to home was the rise of the Ayatollah Khomeini and his students' kid- napping of 50 Americans in Iran in their hope of getting the deposed shah back to their coun- try for trial. After five months of waiting, Car- ter broke diplomatic relations with Iran. Then a disastrous rescue attempt failed. embarrass- ing the U.S. more. Another terrorist group held the U.S. ambassador to Colombia and oth- ers hostage at the Dominican embassy in Bogota. After seizure of an embassy in Cuba, Castro opened the door in his country and allowed thousands of Cuban refugees to come to the U.S. Fear of the draft arose when Russia invaded Afghanistan, and the U.S. stood firm against their actions. Students protested, and women wondered about their futures. Carter ordered a boycott of the Summer Olympics in Moscow. The inflation rate and interest rates hovered at about 20 per cent. Gold reached more than 3800 an ounceg silver 350 an ounce. The silver crash caused havoc on Wall Street. The Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, saw Americans run away on the ice. Eric Heiden's record-breaking five individual golds and the college boys' hockey gold over the Soviet team were astounding. Pittsburgh won the Superbowl and the World Series. but the Oilers and the Astros were contenders to the end in their leagues. Favorite movies varied from Kramer vs. Kramer, a serious movie about fathers and child custody, to IO, a story of a man's search for the perfect woman. ln the record industry all types of music competed for the top. The Doobie Brothers' Minute by Minute was a favorite incorporat- ing a rock, soul and jazzy blend one could dance to. Kenny Rogers was a favorite in the country market with his albums Kenny and The Gambler up in the running. In politics President Carter handily forced Senator Edward Kennedy to the background. Ronald Reagan easily took the lead among the Republicans - forcing two Texans. George Bush and John Connally, to take a back seat in the race. On top of it all, Mount St. Helena erupted covering much of the state of Washington in volcanic ash and left us wondering what could happen next. Right: The Doobie Brothers and K4-nny Rogers wtrc favorites on the turntables.
