September 10, 1986
That fall of 1986, gas ran $0.86 a gallon and Reagan was in the White House — the two superpowers were negotiating arms control, with the White House and Congress reaching an accord on the issue that kept Cold War tensions at the center of daily news. On television, "The Cosby Show" was the most-watched program in the country, while Stephen King's "It" sat at the top of the New York Times fiction bestseller list. The New York Mets defeated the Boston Red Sox in a memorable seven-game World Series, and the International Olympic Committee made history by announcing that starting in 1992, the Summer and Winter Games would no longer be held in the same year, with Barcelona awarded the Summer Games and Albertville the Winter Games.
