by extremist students in Tehran. The mirage of potential release had come and gone three times, one being an unsuccessful rescue attempt that cost eight American lives, but after 440 days, the courageous men and women returned home. They cap- tured the emotions of Americans. Yellow ribbons were tied everywhere possible, and parades soon trailed through Washington, D.C., New York City, Detroit, Milwaukee, San Diego, and Sacramento, with still other parades and celebrations to come. One reaction was at Tokay, where a special assembly gathered students to sing, shout, and honor the 53 returnees and the eight who died. For the nation this was the most humbling experience since the Viet Nam conflict. It was incon- ceivable that the strongest nation in the world could suffer having embassy personnel held by a weak government of fanatics for more than a few weeks. Instead, it had lasted for over a year. But President Carter was well aware of the dangers involved, as the crisis dragged on while continuous efforts were made to settle with a shadowy Iranian government. Reportedly, 52.2 billion in gold and currency was transferred to London so it could be turned over to Iran as soon as the Americans left Tehran.

Reagan, with full confidence in America, an- nounced, Let terrorists beware. When the rules of international behavior are violated, our policy will be one of swift and effective retribution. America, sometimes down and with prospects for success often slim, always pulls through with an optimistic rebirth. As demolished as St. Helens was, American op- timism showed through. Farmers found that the ash would enrich their soil, producing even better crops. When Reagan was elected, floats bannered A New Begin- ning. And with captivity as barbaric as could be seen and with the nation's spirits down, the hostages returned, bringing from Americans a spontaneous outburst of affection, unity, and patriotism.
