The Democrats, in attempt to find a good candidate to oppose the Re¬ publican challenger Vice-President George Bush, pulled out all the stops and had quite an interesting list of characters. Among them were Michael Dukakis, Jesse Jackson, Gary Hart, Bruce Babbit,and A1 Gore. From this pack of hopefuls, the people’s choice at the Democratic Convention was Mi¬ chael Dukakis. Promises of drug con¬ trol, crime control, inflation control, national debt control, dog control, and nuclear arms control, filled the issues list that made for commitments and de¬ cided the choosing of the best candi¬ date. BASEBALL Despite preseason 150-1 odds of win¬ ning the World Series, the Minnesota Twins finished off the St. Louis Cardi¬ nals to claim the title. Fighting their inablility to win on the road, the Twins took their big bats into the Metrodome and jumped all over the Cardinal pitch¬ ing in game seven to win the dead¬ locked series. MVP for the World Champion Twins was Frank Viola. FOOTBALL The Washington Redskins and the Denver Broncos met for the NFL Championship Super Bowl.

Final score Washington 42, Denver 10. Super Bowl MVP - Doug Williams. OLYMPICS During February, the attention of the world was focused on Calgary, Canada for the Winter Olympic games. Athletes from the nations circling the globe, came into our homes and entertained us with their spectacular abilities. The competitors from the United States, while not doing well in the overall com¬ petition, had many moments of glory. Men’s ice skating gold medalist Brian Botrano, was among the Americans .that provided excitement to the coun¬ try and received medals from the two week event. The Olympics brought some colorful personalities into public view, but not necessarily for their athletic abilities. Eddie the Eagle, the only ski jumper from England, became recognized be¬ cause of his last place finish. BASKETBALL For the first time in 19 years a world champion was able to win back to back titles. In a repeat from last year, the Los Angeles Lakers dominated the NBA be¬ hind the great play of Magic Johnson and James Worthy. Taking the final se¬ ries with the Detroit Pistons to seven games, the Lakers were able to win at home in the final game by a score of 108-105. James Worthy was voted the most valuable player of the series. lis page sponsored by ANK OF ASTORIA 29

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN ONE MUST GO ABOVE THE WRITTEN LAW. -FAWN HALL MARKET CRASH On October 19,1987 the stock market collapsed an astounding 500 billion dol¬ lars. This day was soon to be known as black Monday, for it was the worst mar¬ ket panic of modern times. Although black Monday’s crash was worse than the crash of 1929, by late December the Dow had recovered more than 200 points. SUMMIT A three day summit meeting between President Reagan and soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev took place in De¬ cember. The two leaders signed a treaty to ban medium-range nuclear missies and proclaimed it a historic turning point. Most liberals praised the treaty, while many of the president’s fellow conservatives denounced it. IT IS THE LARGEST ARMS REDUCTION IN history. -RONALD REAGAN PERSIAN GULF VIOLENCE Persian Gulf violence began with the reflagging of Kuwaiti oil tankers so they could travel under U.S. Navy escort. The tension mounted when Iraq’s Air Force attacked the U.S. Navy frigate Stark, killing 37 Americans. Through¬ out the summer and fall, one reflagged tanker hit a mine; U.S. helicopters sank an Iranian minelayer and a speed boat; an Iranian missile hit one of the reflag- gee tankers; and U.S. warships and commandos destroyed three Iranian oil platforms in retaliation. SUPREME COURT With the retiring of Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell came the the need to find a replacement. Reagan’s first choice was Robert Bork, an appellate judge favored by conservatives.

Although by the end of 1987 no cure had been found, treatments had improved. The drug AZT retards the virus but is expensive and has several side effects that limit its use. Doctors also began the first human trials of vaccines to prevent further spread of AIDS. TRANSPORTATION DISASTORS Transportation disasters made many headlines.

Fish-A-Thon -—-—— Aqua Students Reel In Special Memories “Get a net over here,” David Schalk shouted, “we’ve got a big one on.” Quickly a net dipped into the water and a trophy was captured. The handicapped student flashed a smile as the fish emerged from the cold water of the hatchery pond. The annual fish-a-thon had captured both a wiggling fish and a happy fishermen. It began as a project that would allow stu¬ dents the chance to experience the process of raising fish in a hatchery setting. With the coo¬ peration of hatcheries throughout the area, con¬ tributions were given to the program in the form of eggs or young fry for the purpose of raising and releasing in late spring. But the sharing of resources didn’t stop there. Several years ago the annual fish-a-thon was developed to allow handicapped students the chance to experience the joy and thrill of catch¬ ing a fish. In most cases, this was the first time that they had ever tried catching a fish. So shrieks of excitement filled the hatchery at each tug of the line as the big catch (a 12” trout) tried to escape. It was an afternoon that each fishermen and the students that worked in the hatchery should always remember.
