| | 1980s - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Like the 1960s, the decade was an era of frantic change, characterised by political and economic decentralisation, especially in countries with mixed and command economies. | | | The petroleum supply disruptions which had marked the 1970s were not repeated, and new oil-field discoveries boosted supply and helped keep energy prices relatively low in most places during the decade. | | | Political events and trends of the 1980s culminated in the toppling of military governments and authoritarian regimes, including every communist Warsaw Pact state in Central and Eastern Europe and the downfall of the military juntas of Brazil, Chile and Argentina, bringing to a close the decades-long Cold War. |

| | It would have carried oil from northern Iraq to the Gulf of Aqaba in Jordan, alleviating the disruptive effect on Iraq's oil output that resulted from Iran's attacks on oil transshipment facilities in the Persian Gulf and from Syria's closing of a pipeline that had transported Iraqi oil. | | | A particular debt is owed to the late representative Henry Gonzales (1916-2000), Democrat of Texas, whose staff extensively investigated U.S. policy toward Iraq during the 1980s and who would not be deterred from making information available to the public [Note 2]. | | | Almost all of the primary documents included in this briefing book were obtained by the National Security Archive through the Freedom of Information Act and were published in 1995 [Note 3]. |

| | 1980s Music |
| | By the late 1980s, house had broken out of underground clubs in cities like Chicago, New York, and London, and had begun making inroads on the pop charts, particularly in England and Europe but later in America under the guise of artists like C+C Music Factory and Madonna. | | | One of the problems with rock in the eighties was that, by the end of the decade, a "rocker" was as obsolete a social and musical figure as a pop singer had been in 1956. | | | Music groups in the 1980s came from many countries and with many different types of rock/pop music. |

| | Tax Cuts Increase Federal Revenues |
| | The article then claims that the 1980s Reagan tax cuts failed to increase tax revenues; | | | That notion, chided as "voodoo economics" by critics, turned out to be false when it was last in vogue, during the 1980's." | | | Indeed, running a modest deficit during an economic downturn can be useful, as long as the policies behind the deficit — lower taxes and higher spending — benefit consumers and businesses." |

| | Pitchfork: Top 100 Albums of the 1980s |
| | It's said that the 1980s are responsible for the worst fashion, fads, and music of any decade of the 20th century. | | | But as we see the decade recycled and updated with post-millennial minimalism, it's becoming clear that the 1980s had more to offer than we've given them credit for. | | | It is to the vision and perseverance of many of these artists that we owe the roots of hip-hop, synth-pop, and most notably for this publication, alternative and indie rock. |

| | Franc-ly Speaking |
| | Since the 1980s, the varietal has become more popular in California; but because of its scarcity in relation to other red grapes, it is rather expensive. | | | And ever since a harsh winter in 1996 killed off a good deal of Merlot in the Pacific Northwest, growers there are taking a second look at Cabernet Franc because of its sturdy character. | | | In Italy, especially in Friuli, the grape is known as "Bordo" or "Cabernet Frank." Many of the Italian wines that are labeled, perhaps for marketing reasons, simply as "Cabernet" are, in fact, Cabernet Francs. |
