Poland suffered through a black Christ- mas The martial-law forces of Gen Wojciech Jaruzelski cleaned out several major pockets ol protest, but the resistance persisted in the streets and factories — and in an under- ground movement. Ronald Reagan, who gave asylum to the Polish ambassador and his wife (below), put some economic sanc- tions on the Warsaw regime, threatening harsher action — and set up a challenge to the Soviet Union. A .i , W ll 1 m: m ■ i H m . . . And That ' s The Way It Was . . . In a year that could have been de- scribed as one of bad news, it ' s ironic that one of the biggest newsmakers was a wedding. The vows of the Prince of Wales and his captivating 20-year- old bride drew a television audience of around 250 million people all over the world. People across the country began wearing green ribbons to show sympa- thy for the child murder victims of At- lanta. When Wayne Williams was ar- rested for two of the killings, the twen- ty-three months of terror seemed to finally be ended; after the murders of twenty-eight children. In politics, two ambitious personal- ities are remembered. Sandra Day O ' Conner became the first woman to sit as a judge on the highest court in the land; one of the President ' s right hand men, David Stockman, got in hot water. Reagan took Stockman, his budget director, ' on a visit to the woodshed ' for leaking detrimental criti- cisms of Reaganomics. The Columbia became the first spa- cecraft to be reused. While it was be- ing repaired, airplanes in use nearer the earth were in total confusion be- cause of the air-traffic controllers ' strike. In the worst disaster in Kansas City history, skywalks bridging levels inside the new Hyatt Hotel collapsed, plung- ing scores of couples to the lobby floor — Ill were killed, and 190 were in- jured. It was a dance that ended in death Unrest in parts of Europe and all over the world increased tension in glo- bal affairs. In Belfast, Ireland, Bobby Sands was the fir st of ten to die in a hunger strike in hope of gaining politi- cal prisoner status. After seven months, the hunger strike was called off. Reagan ' s budget cuts to investors and industry met with more opposition as the lower and middle classes didn ' t feel they were receiving needed bene- fits. National News 35
