AFFECTING “TEMPERATURES” There were many national and world wide affairs that af- fected everyone. Americans looked forward to the summer Olympics held in Los Angeles, California. Some of the Athletes trying for the gold medal were jumper Carl Lewis, runner Mary Decker, and ice skaters Elaine Zayak and Rosalynn Sumners. With Election Year around the corner, people weighed the merits of the various presiden- tial candidates. Ronald Reagan was the Republican nominee while Walter Mondale, Jessie Jackson, and John Glenn were Democratic candidates. Americans found themselves embroiled in foreign affairs in Lebanon and Granada. On Oc- tober 24, 1983 two hundred American Marines were killed after one of the American em- bassies was blown up in Lebanon. On October 25, 1983 United States Troops invaded Granada. There was much con- troversy when President Reagan deployed missiles in Germany. 8 • Opening
