Abstract

How well do you remember February 1985? I know that for more than a third of Americans—who are under the age of thirty-two—the answer is not at all. Journey back with me if you can. Ronald Reagan had just started his second term in office. Nelson Mandela was still in jail. Foreigner’s “I Want to Know What Love Is” and George Michael’s “Careless Whisper” were the big hits on the radio. At the movies, Harrison Ford was hiding out in Amish country in Witness, and the Brat Pack were figuring one another out and falling in love in The Breakfast Club. I myself was in college that month, at the University of Colorado Boulder.
