New Heart to Heart Light From the desert to the sea to all of North High School ... The 1982-83 news ranged from the commonplace to the unique: ENTERTAINMENT: Steven Spielberg ' s E.T. about a homesick ex- traterrestrial became the all time box office smash in 1982. E.T. memo- rabilia — toys, buttons, T-shirts, and hats became as big a money-maker as the movie itself. Officer and a Gentleman became the romantic hit of the year as Tootsie became the comedy smash. On the concert scene, The US Festival put on by a computer wiz, Steve Wozniak, became the Woodstock of the 80 ' s. In TV the comedy series MASH end- ed. Its last episode was a 2 V i hour movie with the Korean war ending. Feb. 28 was declared MASH day. This day was celebrated with parties where many people dressed up as characters of the cast. SPORTS: The NFL football strike topped the sports news for this year. The strike lasted for weeks and forced North students to find other things to do on Sunday afternoons and Monday nights. A modified season was played once the players and owners finally reached a com- promise. The season ended with the usual Super Bowl as the underdog Washington Redskins came out vic- torious over the Miami Dolphins. Football fans were very pleased to hear about the formation of a new league, the USFL, which provided them with year-round football. In baseball, St. Louis defeated Milwaukee in the seventh game of the World Series. After arbitration, pitcher Fernando Valenzuela signed with the Dodgers for a cool million dollars ... a first. TECHNOLOGY: The biggest news in technology occurred Dec. 2 when dentist Dr. Barney Clark received the first permanent artificial heart. This device may ultimately save thousands of heart-disease victims. DEATHS: Henry Fonda, 77; Ingrid Berg man, 67; and Grace Kelly, 52 were a few of the well-known celebrities who passed away this year. The deaths of Karen Carpenter, 32 and John Belusi, 33 were untimely and surprising to many mainly because of their young ages. A revolution in packaging of drugs resulted when seven people died after taking Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide. The tampering with the over-the-counter drug caused fear in Americans to no longer buy the drug. Later it was found that other pro- ducts were tampered with, including eye drops and mouth washes. BIRTHS: Last year ' s sweethearts, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, gave royal fans even more to cheer about with the birth of their baby boy, Prince William, who will one day be the King of England. The first test-tube baby to be born in L.A. county was delivered at USC hospital. It was the third infant to be born in this manner in this country. fllul 36 student life II
