The World Around Us ]
-~1978
The drought was over, but the storms
that followed were, in many parts of the
country, blizzards and floods. President
Carter's popularity was on the downswing
because of his foreign policy and the releasing
of the Panama Canal. The court rules for Bakke,
but condones affirmative action. The nation watched
as Californians staged the "Great Tax Revolt," better
known as Proposition 13. Champions of world peace
were weary with the loss of two Popes, the Russian spy
trials, the People's Temple mass suicide and murders in
Guyana, and continued tension in the Middle East.
Issues still pending were the ERA, the Neutron
Bomb, the "Self Rule" plan in Rhodesia, paraquat j
poisonings, Cuban tension and the threat of Cold
5-s- War. Muhammad Ali was upset and all of
America caught "Saturday Night Fever."./
