24 Entertainment of 82, as in previous years, centered itself around the media. Television played an important role, in- cluding such forms of amusement as nHill Street Blues? which usually ended up with Capt. Furillo and Joyce Davenport retiring for the evening, obviously discuss- ing a hard dayst work. Another new show, uMagnum P.I., starring the newest male sex-symbol Tom Selleck, attracted many female viewers. On the costlier side of sociability were the ever-popular mov- ies and the new boredom buster, Cable T.V., which was finally introduced to Clark County. At the Academy Awards, iiOn Golden Pond, starring Henry Fonda and daugh- ter Jane, along with Katherine Hepburn, won three Oscars. it Reds star and di- rector, Warren Beatty, won an Oscar, and uChariots of Firen won the coveted best picture award, along with three other Os- cars. In the sports world, the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Yankees in six games to win the World Series. Two tiCinderellaii teams conquered all to reach Super Bowl XV, where the San Francisco 49ers beat the Cincinnatti Bengals by six points. After watching the University of Louisville lose in their semi-final game to Georgetown, college basketball fans saw North Carolina win their first ever NCAA championship under coach Dean Smith, after seven trips to the final four.

Da- vid Stockman, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, earned the scorn of the President, when he issued what is probably the quote of the year: uNone of us really understands what is going on with all these numbers. James Watt, the Secre- tary of the Interior, was the scapegoat of the environmentalists, due to his advocacy of strip mining. Death from the skies also came into focus during the year. Two plane crashes, one in Washington, DC. and another in Boston, reflected the problems in the airways of a na- tion still troubled due to the firing of striking air traffic controllers in August of 1981. The Columbia Space Shuttle was also in the skies. It became the worlds first reusable space craft, after making its second and third voayages in space. Other names in the news for the year were Wayne Williams, the killer of young Blacks in Atlanta; John W. Hinkley, Jr., the attempted assasin of President Reagan lin March 198D; and Sandra Day OlConnor, the first woman to become a justice of the Supreme Court. In Indiana, disaster was the prominent word. In East Chicago a bridge collapsed and killed thirteen people. After record snowfalls and icy storms throughout most of the state in the winter, the spring rains brought a major flood to Fort Wayne, causing so much damage that President Reagan came to inspect the area. Although high unemployment still plagued the Kentuckiana area, locally the news was not all bad. A new airport was opened in Clark County, and Charlestownls Druthefs ' Restaurant reopened under new ownership after having been closed for the winter. l In the May primary elections, the Greater Clark County School Board elections created interest locally. Nancy Kraft and Robert Fields were re-elected to their respective seats on the board, while Mike Wasdovich won the seat vacated by retiring board member Mike Colston. In Charlestown, the new Mask Law, making it illegal to wear anything that covers the face except on special holidays, probably best reflected the unusual happenings of 1981-82. aim 0T ,.

ALL AMERICANS could take pride in the Colum- bia, which blazed into orbit four times. SOME AMERICANS were displeased with so-called Reaganomics. as shown by these protesters.
