Reagan hostages effected nation • wo major U.S. happenings captivated the year and filled the media, the election of a new president and the release of the hostages. On November 4, 1980, the Republican candidate and former California Gover- nor Ronald Regan won a land-slide victo- ry over incumbent Jimmy Carter for the highest office in the nation, the presiden- cy. Then on January 20, 1981, the same day Ronald Reagan was sworn in as Presi- dent, the 52 American hostages, who had been held captive for 444 days, were freed. Their freedom came as a result of the intensive negotiations of President Jimmy Carter and his staff. This incident, more than any other since the VietNam War, helped build our patriotism and put the people of our country behind our government. We were influenced by other stories too: The migration of Cuban and boat peo- ple refugees. The murder of former Beatle John Lennon. The capture of the Yorkshire Ripper who killed 13 women in England. A Big 10 victory for the Michigan Wol- verines when they defeated the Washing- ton Huskies in the Rose Bowl. The shooting of Urban League Presi- dent Vernon Jordan outside the Marriott Inn. Under the guidance of Mike Schmidt, Tug McGraw and Steve Carlson, the Philadelphia Phillies World Series victory over the Kansas City Royals in six games. The IMBALCO water problems. The ABSCAM trails. The Super Bowl win for the Oakland Raiders over the favored Philadelphia Ea- gles on Super Sunday, January 25, 1981, 27-10. Harvester shuts down the Scout line. The victories for Dan Quayle, Robert Orr, and Dan Coats who won positions in our local and state government. These occurences made our year what it was. There will never be another year like this. This year was unique and we will always remember it. The oldest President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, became president number 40 when he was inaugerated on January 20, 1981. 4 world events
