WORLD NEWS by Micheal Davis The 1984-1985 year will be remembered for many things in addition to Orwell’s famous work. Events of the year varied, as with any year. The world situation was, in comparison with recent years, relatively un- eventful. Turmoil in the Middle East and Central America tended to dominate the headlines, though they were shared with concerns over the situation in Poland, arms talks between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Iran-Iraq war and the perennial headliner, OPEC. Not all international news was bad however. Prin- cess Diana gave birth to her son, the Olympics in Los Angeles was attended by more nations than ever be- fore, and more people were in outer space than in any other year. Ronald Reagan was re-elected by a wide margin, placing him into his second term as the President. Geraldine Ferraro became the first female vice- presidential candidate of a major party. But there was much more to watch. The Space Shuttle program en- joyed unpre- cedented success, Americans cheered their Olympic teams to victory and the U.S. Navy christ- ened its fifteenth aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Theo- dore Roosevelt. Americans were playing the most popular game, Trivial Pursuit, to the point of obses- sion. Music was gaining popularity in different ways: it was being played on compact disc players, seen and heard on Music Television (MTV). Filmmakers en- joyed another big year due to the release of such box office busters as: “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”, “Star Trek III: In Search of Spock’’, “Grem- lins” and “Ghostbusters”. Locally the City of Tampa made progress to a prom- ising future. After having hosted the 1984 Superbowl game, the USFL Championship game was played in Tampa Bay Stadium. Construction of seemingly in- numerable buildings either begun, continued or com- pleted. l amp’s skyline changed as two more skyscrap- ers inched upward. New hotels, office buildings, a 16 World News monorail and a performing arts center made serious progress toward completion. Look back and remember all that took place over the year: the good and the bad, the fun and games, the work and the effort, the triumphs and the defeats, and the questions and the answers.
