s Violence AP List The following article was written by Associated Press News features Writer Dave Goldberg, and appeared in The Times on January 3, 1982. Top Hat would like to thank The Times and the Associated Press in Chicago for their cooperation in Top Hat's publishing the article below. The yearbook staff would also like to thank Tim Salach, Mortonite Columnist, for his article “Music in 1981 ”. It is hoped that news events on the following four pages will be read upon in future years as a rememberance of the past compared to the present and future. In a year in which the biggest news came from the barrel of assassins' guns, the attempt on President Reagan's life has been voted the top story of 1981 by Associated Press editors and broadcasters. Reagan, his press secretary James Brady, and two other men were the American hostages after 444 days of captivity in Iran. Third and fourth were two other stories of violence against world leaders: the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and the shooting of Pope John Paul II by a Turkish terrorist. The Top 10: 1. The attempt on Reagan. 2. The return of the hostages. 3. The Sadat assassination. 4. The attempt on the Pope. 5. The new conservative administration in Washington. Reagan gets his way with a Republican Senate and a reduced Democratic margin in the House. 6. The American economy; the budget and tax cuts of Reaganomics; high interest rates and recession. 7. The flights of the space shuttle Columbia. 8. The air traffic controllers' strike and their dismissal by Reagan. 9. The appointment of Tops 10. Developments in Poland. The runners-up were stories about the wedding in England of Prince Charles and Lady Diana; the deaths of 113 people in the collapse of a walkway over a crowded dance floor at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City; the strike that eliminated a third of the baseball season; the arrest of a suspect in the two-year run of deaths and disappearances of blacks in Atlanta; and Israel's bombing of Iraq's nuclear reactor. The ballots were compiled before the Polish government's declaration of martial Jaw and crackdown on Solidarity. The vote was on the preceding unrest and conflict attending the rise of Solidarity. Votes were tabulated by awarding 10 points for a first place vote, nine for second, down to one point for tenth place. The vote for first was one of the closest ever — the shooting of Reagan finished with 5,246 Shooting At 2:25 p.m. on March 30, the president was leaving the Washington Hilton Hotel after addressing the AFL-CIO Building Trades Council, when six shots were fired at him from close range. Before Reagan was pushed into his limousine by Secret Service agents, he was hit in the side below the left arm. A bullet penetrated Brady's brain and a Washington police officer and a Secret Service man were also hit. Police and agents seized John Warnock Hinckley Jr., 25, son of a well-to-do oilman from a Denver suburb. Authorities described Hinckley as “wandering, aimless, and irresponsible. In a series of letters to teen-age actress Jodie Foster he said his unrequited passion for her might lead him to do something which would make him famous. Iran seized the American Embassy and its occupants in Tehran, the fate of the hostages preoccupied America. That was so up to the final moments on Jan. 20, 1981, when the hostage release upstaged the inauguration of the new president. Sadat On Oct. 6, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt and most of his cabinet were watching Egypt's Armed Forces Day Parade when four men in military uniforms jumped from a jeep and began throwing grenades and firing automatic weapons. Stunned guards seemed frozen as the assassins charged the reviewing stand, killing Sadat and leaving carnage in their wake. Pope Pope John Paul II was greeting pilgrims from his jeep in St. Peter's Square on May 13 when he was shot by Mehmet Ali Agca, a 23-year-old
