r ■ XJl . . The World Around Us 1978 o. The drought was over, but the storms that followed were, in many parts of the country, blizzards and floods. President Carter ' s popularity was on the downswing because of his foreign policy and the releasing of the Panama Canal. The court rules for Bakke, but condones affirmative action. The nation watched as Californians staged the Great Tax Revolt, better known as Proposition 13. Champions of world peace were weary with the loss of two Popes, the Russian spy trials, the People ' s Temple mass suicide and murders in Guyana, and continued tension in the Middle East. Issues still pending were the ERA, the Neutron Bomb, the Self Rule plan in Rhodesia, paraquat poisonings, Cuban tension and the threat of Cold War. Muhammad All was upset and all of America caught Saturday Night Fever. .♦•: % ' i C oz L« ' lIU aj jaliiWwPW ' % - i-!! Pf - ' ' ' SS- 0j wl •vy: - %J kV, m WcL i -. ZM.

Western drought bred rampant fires and water rationing. Newly-elected President Carter faces such issues as energy con- servation, the Concorde, the B-1 bomber cruise mis- sile controversy, Panama Canal and Laetril debates, idi Amin, Roots and black independence brought Africa into the news. To many, the deaths of Elvis and Groucho signaled the end of an era. Despite mass kidnappings, the KLM Pan Am crash, Washington imprisonments and gay rights tensions, hopes for the future appear ed in movies like Star Wars, the Alaskan pipeline, the Space Shuttle and improved Cuban relations.
