And Thaf's The Way lfl 44 5 1 'Z ..-.

Each nation attempted to cripple the other's economy, but neither was able to make much progress. By the end of October, however, Iraq held claim to the port city of Khuram Shahr in lran's oil-rich province of Zhuzistan. RebeMbn Angry Polish workers at the Lenin shipyard in Gdansk went on strike, culminating two months of labor turmoil and, in a politi- cal development unprecedented in countries under the influ- ence of the Soviet Union, won unheard of concessions. These included the right to form independent trade unions. the right to strike, the abolition of government censorship, and the re- lease of all political prisoners. After granting the concessions, veteran Communist party head Edward Gierek was replaced by security affairs chief, Stanislaw Kania. Lkvnumwni Europe's worst earthquake in decades ravaged southern Italy, killing 3,000. In Nevada, 89 people died in hotel fires. The fire at the MGM Grand Hotel killed 84 and injured more than 500, and a fire in the nearby Las Vegas Hilton claimed five and injured about 140 people. In addition to the destruction which caused the loss of life, an explosive left by extortionists in Harvey's Hotel and Casino in Lake Tahoe detonated and sever- ly damaged the hotel. Capnvky Anguish and suspense over the fate of the American hostages held by Iranian militants weighed heavily on the minds of the country as economic and political sanctions were imposed by the U.S. and the European Economic community. UN efforts to mediate and an aborted rescue mission which cost the lives of eight commandos failed to bring the hostages home. Finally, just hours before the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, the hos- tages boarded an Algerian plane and flew out of Iran after 444 days of captivity. Upon arrival in the United States, the hos- tages were given a hero's welcome by their relieved and joyous fellow countrymen, a celebration that included a ticker- tape parade through New York City.

Shock, fol- lowed by world-wide mourning, ca me with the news that former Beatle John Lennon was gun ned down in front of his New York apartment. The presidential election dominated national news from the summer through November and saw an incumbent president under siege. Jimmy Carter overcame attempts to dump him from the Democratic ticket in favor of his liberal opponent, Senator Ted Kennedy, or a list of other more electable Democrats. Amidst Republican euphoria concerning the GOP's prospects in November, Ronald Reagan chose George Bush as his running mate. John Anderson bolted from his fellow Repub- licans to run as an independent candidate. The passing months saw a fading of Representative Anderson's popularity while the polls showed Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter in a head- to-head race. A last-minute debate, staged one week before the elction, was the determining factor for many undecided voters and gave the Republican challenger a landslide victory. A Republican Senate and many GOP candidates at every level were swept in on Reagan's coat tails. President Reagan proclaimed that America was ready for a new beginning as a conservative spirit overtook the nation. To attack continuing inflation and recession, he introduced an austere budget that reversed the trends of forty years by cutting deeply into social programs. He took a hard line toward the Soviet Union and showed more tolerance toward authori- tarian regimes who supported the US. With a movie star in the White House, the Washington social scene came alive. Famous entertainers and clothing designers frequented Washington as jelly beans became chic. But as we know, a tragic note was added to these happenings when President Reagan was shot in front of the Washington Hilton.
