E -1? , K I The Iceland Summit ON AN INTERNATIONAL LEVEL, THE UNITED STATES WAS IN- VOLVED IN ISSUES CAUSING PRAISE AND CRITICISM - BOTH AT HOME AND ABROAD. PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST NOTABLE EVENTS DURING THIS YEAR WAS THE ICELAND SUMMIT, MEETINGS BETWEEN PRESI- DENT REAGAN AND SOVIET LEADER MIKAIL GORBACHEV. I-IOPES WERE HIGH FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A SIGNIFICANT STEP TO- WARDS NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT. UNFORTUNATELY, NOTHING WAS SETTLED AS PRESIDENT REAGAN REFUSED TO DISASSEMBLE HIS CONTROVERSIAL SDI PLAN, BETTER KNOWN AS STAR WARS AMERICAN NEWS REPORTER NICHOLAS DANILOFF WAS AR- RESTED IN THE SOVIET UNION ON CHARGES OF SPYING, IN THE U.S., GENNADIY ZAKHAROV WAS ARRESTED FOR THE SAME CRIME . . . BOTH WERE RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME. OFFICIALS CLAIMED THAT THE RELEASES WERE NOT A TRADE. THE GREAT CONTROVERSY OF THE YEAR CONCERNED THE SALE OF WEAPONS TO IRAN AND THE CONSEOUENT RELEASE OF HOSTAGES IN LEBANON. MONEY MADE FROM THE SALE WENT TO CONTRAS IN NICARAGUA. A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN CHERNOBYL, SOVIET UNION SUF- FERED A MELTDOWN. TERRORISM WAS STILL BIG NEWS. HUMANITARIAN TERRY WAITE WAS ABDUCTED WHILE TRYING TO FREE HOSTAGES.
