In the News . . Judge Robert Bork attempted to convince the Senate that he was the right, man. Only God knows the fate of the PTL and Jim and Tammy Bakker. What headlines does the class of '88 recall? Many events in the world were unexpected, unprece- dented, and unusually bizarre. The Iran-Contra Af- fair, the worst government scandal since Watergate, caused Ronald Reagan, America's first film star tumed president, to act like he had forgotten some lines. The drama featured some other lead characters: Col. Oliver North played hero, and his secretary Fawn Hall was the paper-shredding sex symbol . . . Speaking of sex, presidential candidate Gary Hart withdrew from the race in May, 1987, af- ter joumalists discovered his liason with a model, who had even joined him for a weekend cruise on the aptly named Monkey Business.

Returning to the U.S., Pope John Paul II toured the United States fvia the bulletproof pope-mobilel, in the first such visit of the decade. He was somewhat upstaged, though . . . by a birthday bash that was held the same week in September, honoring the 200th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution . . . Later in the fall of 1987, an embarrassed Sen. Joseph Biden withdrew from the presidential race after some sharp listeners informed the public that he had plagiarized parts of his speeches . . . Biden turned his attention to chairing the Senate confirmation hearings for Judge Robert Bork, President Reagan's controversial nominee to the Supreme Court. After weeks of heated debate, Bork was rejected and respect for 5
