SUPERBOWL XXII The Superbowl XXII had many at- tractions to the public, but one show that stood out and won the public's enthusiasm of the whole game was the half-time show. “Something Grand” was the theme of this half-time show. “Something Grand” commenced with 88 members of the Radio City Music Hall musicians playing to the theme song on 88 grand pianos. Joining In with the celebration were 400 members of the “Superbowl Su- per Band” from the SDSU and USC marching band. When you have good music, naturally dancing comes along with the territory, and so the Radio City Music Hall's Rock- ettes have danced their way through the public's heart. After that grand Introduction, the show continued to liven Its audience with the “Superbowl Twist” sung by none other than Chubby Checker. Dancing to the new twisting sound were the Rockettes and many tal- ented performers of the San Diego community. Including drill team members from all over the San Diego school area. The half-time show provided an entertaining In- termission for the Superbowl XXII game In the Jack Murphy's Stadium of San Diego. This year San Diego was host to Su- perBowl XXII which was held at Jack Murphy Stadium on January 31. Ev- eryone was ready for the two rival teams, the Washington Redskins and the Denver Broncos, to have their two top quarterbacks. Doug Williams and John Elway respective- ly. to go head to head. Super Bowl XXII resulted in a victory for the Washington Redskins. In addi- tion to the 73,302 fans who were present at the stadium, the game was broadcasted live on national and international television. The Washington Redskins surprised ever- ybody by scoring a record 35 points in the second period and dealt a severe blow to the Denver Broncos- a second straight Super Bowl de- feat. 42-10. For the first five minutes and forty- one seconds in the first period, the game did belong to John Elway. He had thrown a 56-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver, Ricky Nattiel on Denver's first play from scrim- mage and directed the Broncos to a field goal on their second proces- sion. After the first quarter, though, the Denver Broncos went downhill and the Redskins ran away with the ball. The game proved to be a memora- ble, exciting, and even a trouble- some experience. After the game, tons and tons of trash were left be- hind. However, that didn't seem to bother San Diego mayor, Maureen O' Conner, who hoped that San Diego would have the opportunity to host another Super Bowl in 1994. By that time the San Diego Chargers might be in the running for the silver SST32' News 21

On December 7, 1987, the leaders of the two super- power nations, President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gor- bachev, got to- gether for a sum- mit meeting in Washington. This meeting was a three-day summit and also was the first meeting in the United States in 14 years. The main at- traction of the summit was the agreement on and the signing of an in- termedia te-range nuclear power treaty. The Intermediate- Range Nuclear Force treaty was better known as the INF treaty. It was agreed that the two nations would withdraw and eliminate their in ter media te-range and shorter-range missiles, with ranges between A V V % lULit 315 and 3,125 miles, in Europe and in Asia. The So- viets agreed to withdraw 1,752 of their SS-4, SS-12, SS-20, and SS-23 missiles while the U. S. agreed to withdraw 859 of their Pershing II and Tomahawk cruise missiles. It is believed by sev- eral congressmen that the INF treaty is different and has more effects than its predecessors because this treaty actually eliminates and reduces an agreed class of missiles. If the INF treaty succeeds as planned then the chance for another arms control trea- ty will be higher. These treaties re- present hope for peace and “better relations between the United States and the Soviet Union.
