new conservatism A new beginning was what Ronald Reagan promised and with his election came a new look, that of conservati- vism. This conservative look went into full swing with Rea¬ gan ' s landslide victory. Aside from its political as¬ pects, conservativism also branched out into many other facets of life. Western wear was the trademark of the new president and the first lady sported the classic preppie look. In the field of entertain¬ ment, country music increased in popularity as disco faded away. The attitudes of the American public have also changed. A new-found patrio¬ tism swept the country. Per¬ haps the climax of this enthusi¬ asm was the excitement shown on the day the Iranian hostages were released. Pa¬ triotism was exhibited not only on a national level, but also on a local level as flags were raised full mast. 14 new concervativism

mount St. Helens erupts spectacularly When Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980 with the force of 500 Hiroshima size atomic bombs, it blew away a cubic mile of earth, killed over thirty people, destroyed or damaged 220,000 acres of timberland and created a monumental dredging job on three nearby rivers. There were four major eruptions. In some ways, the volcano was helpful. The ash helped the soil to be more fertile in much of the surrounding area. Since the eruptions, thousands of tourists have flocked to see Mount St. Helens. Many of them even purchased Genuine Mount St. Heiens Volcanic Ash. Mt. Saint Helens erupting Kiddie sex symbol Brooke Shields meanwhile back at the white house To achieve his landslide victory, Regan had to break most of the unwritten rules about reaching the White House. At the start, he was considered too old for the Oval Office. Above all, he was thought to be too conservative. Regan moderated his tone as his chances for winning became more serious. He did not, however, back away from his basic principles and his message: abroad, the source of most problems in the world was Communism; at home, the intrusive Federal Government caused most of the problems.
