Freedom of the American Hostages Highlights 1980-1981 didn’t even know there were active volcanos in the U.S., I was surprised. This was the reaction of Marie Mackrts when asked what she thought of Mount Saint Helen’s eruption. Joe Cifani replied. It’s pretty neat. The mountain blew up in hundreds of people’s faces. Mount Saint Helen erupted seven times from May 18 to October 17. 1980. The most serious damage was done during the first eruption, which re- sulted In hundreds of deaths and property dam age Television viewers throughout the late sum- mer and early fall watched many repeats due to the actors’ strike lasting from July 21 to Oc tober 23. According to Ja- net Chimenti. The actors made enough money so they didn’t need all the benefits they wanted. Kathy Zaharewicz said. I don’t think the big names, such as Ed Asner and James Garner, should re- ceive any more for doing their T V. shows. The under studies and the smaller ac- tors should receive an in- crease in their salaries. We should blow Iran off the map. was the opinion of Mike Belslto towards the Iranian crisis. On November 4. 1979, sixty-three Amen cans were taken hostage by the Iranians. Although President Carter ordered an attempt to rescue the hostages on April 24. 1980, It failed due to mechanical problems, and the fifty two remaining Americans wer en’t released until January 20. 1981. Marie Mackris felt. It’s a shame Iran has to be a mean country. I hope all the ex-hostages recover mentally from the ordeal. The 1980 election was held on Tuesday. Novem ber 4th. Reagan had 51 percent of the popular vote. Carter had 43 per cent, and Anderson had 6 percent. Everyone who becomes President does Ns own thing. I’m going to wait and see how he goes about making decisions and actions, replied Ja- net Chimenti when asked what she thought about Reagan winning the elec tion. Delmar Thompson said. I think he will be a good President but he is too old. I don’t think he will make it more than two years in office. Reagan turned seventy shortly after his inauguration on January 20. 1981. making him the oldest man to hold the pre- sidents office. Murdered on December 8. 1980, Lennon was on the verge of a comeback to the younger generations of the seventies. But he didn’t quite make it. Joe Cifani said, I could care less. The Beatles were noth- ing to me. They were be- fore my time. In Contrast. Marie Mackris replied. It ruined any hope of getting the Beatles back togeth- er. I was happy seeing a winning team come from Cleveland. This is the first time I have seen a cham- pionship team come from our city in a long time, re- marked Mickey Erdos. Dur ing the 8081 football sea son. the Cleveland Browns won the Central Division Ti- tle. This whole season was terribly rough on my nerves, but I guess the Browns like to win and lose games in the final mo- ments. remarked Dan An- nett. The Browns clinched the title in the last game against the Cincinnati Ber gals. This was the first time the Browns had been in the playoffs since 1972. The actors made enough money.” We should blow Iran off the map!” The Beatles were before my time.” News
