North takes stand As Iran-contra hearings dominated public television viewing from early Septem- ber through November, Oli- ver North and John Poin- dexter became household names. The popular phrase, “| was authorized to do everything that | did,’’ became cliche as Lieutenant Colonel North took the stand on Capitol Hill. An appointment to the Su- preme Court was made after several nominations were de- nied. Among those denied the nomination was Judge Rob- ert Bork, condemned by many for his views on such controversial subjects as abortion and the death pen- alty. The final decision made in December appointed George Kennedy to the Supreme Court. In October Wall Street saw its biggest crash since the dis- mal crash of 1929. Prices plunged so rapidly that ex- perts feared the stock mar- ket would be completely wiped out. Panic stricken, all the AN va 28 Current Events R brokers could do was won- der, “Will this cause another depression?’ In one day more than $500 million van- ished into thin air. Reagan and Gorbachev met for a summit in Washing- ton, D.C., where controver- sies over Reagan's proposed Star Wars and the removal of intermediate and short range missiles were discussed. In the final draft of a 169- page treaty signed by both the United States and Russia, the U.S. agreed to give up 436 warheads, while the Sovi- ets gave up 1,575 warheads. Celebrations took place all across the country to honor the 200-year anniversary of the United States Constitu- tion. Super Bowl Sunday left the Washington Redskins with a 42-10 victory over the Den- ver Broncos.
