The Prince and Princess of Woles kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace following their wedding. President Anwar Sadat of Egypt who brought Arabs and Israelis closer to peace than ever before died in a hail of gunfire on October sixth. Leaders Die - Di Weds On October sixth, Americans listened to the conflicting news reports that flooded the airwaves and remembered the not so distant past: the assasination attempt on President Reagan. Unfortunately, the bad news was truth: Anwar Sadat was dead, the victim of an assassin ' s bullet. A gang of Muslim fanatics erupted from a Ciaro parade and murdered Egypt ' s president, who received the Nobel Peace Prize after the Camp David peace treaty was signed. No more war, he said in Jerusalem in November 1977, Ring the Dells for your sons. Tell them that those wars were the last wars and the end of sorrows But all news was not bad in 1981-1982. In search of happier, less troubled times, everyone turned to the fairy-book wed¬ ding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana as a royal blessing. Many Americans, so not to miss the celebration, set alarm clocks for four a.m. so not to miss any coverage, when it began via satellite. Quad Citians got in the swing of things with full dress parties and an aura of peace and hope prevailed throughout the world. In sports, the asterick season in baseball finally ended. Marred by a seven week strike that cost pro baseball fifty-nine days and seven hundred and fourteen games, many baseball fans turned to farm and community teams to fulfill the baseball fix. Even after the strike ended, some didn ' t return to watching pro ball, for they had found local ball to be more like True baseball. The Dodgers finally learned how to win the big one. With an infield that was too old, and a pitching staff that was too young, the Dodgers put it all together to beat the quarrelsome damn Yankees in six games. After losing the first two the Dodgers proved they had mi les and miles and miles of heart, sweeping the next four games and the championship from the Yankees. The Cincinatti Dengals faced the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl. Local t.v. sets tuned in and Quad Citians rooted for local favorite and Augustana College gra¬ duate, Kenny Anderson. The Bengals put their act together a little too late, though, and were defeated by the 49ers. 26 Student Life
