Quick Glance Back American history continued marking its miles- tones as the world lived through 1986 and 1987. Hopeful attempts of inter-continental peace were set back as two world leaders, Mikhail Gorbachev and President Ronald Reagan could not agree over defense and arms plans. Our President, completing his second term, struck down the nation's trust when news of selling arms to Iran for hostages held captive in Beirut was released. Throughout the school year investigations revealed information about the dealings, but the witnesses continually Q chose not to testify on the grounds that testimo- mt.. ny would possibly incriminate themselves at a later date. Old faces re-familiarized themselves in their ce- lebrity spots. In television and in movies, actors and actresses performed roles lasting in our memo- ries. The almost immediate success of actress Cy- bill Shepherd and actor Bruce Willis on their hit television series Moonlighting won them titles of man and woman of the year. Vanna White's sudden popularity brought a new, larger audience to the game shows. Buckingham palace added a new member when Prince Andrew married Sarah Ferguson. The wed- ding was broadcasted throughout the world. Drought and overabundance plagued our farm- lands as farmers continued to lose money. Many Women again showed their ability when Corazon Aquino ran against Ferdinand Mar- cos in Philippine's presidential election. She proved that determination could ac- complish goals. again resorted to auctioning farm machinery and many banks foreclosed on mortgaged houses and farms. America grew and learned through experience this past year. Heat withered the southeast corn crops.
