| | John Derbyshire on 1979 on National Review Online |
| | The first were already showing up in 1979: the Three Mile Island catastrophe in March, the 24-percent OPEC price hikes in June, the resignation of Andrew Young in August. | | | A vigorous man of firmly conservative convictions, John Paul II swiftly asserted his church's role in world affairs, mediating a dispute between Argentina and Chile, receiving the Soviet Foreign Minister in audience, and then, in June of 1979, paying the first-ever Papal visit to a Communist country, his own native Poland. | | | This was the year it all changed, the year the ice cracked. |

| | Chairman's Letter - 1979 |
| | There is also a fair chance that operating earnings in aggregate dollars will fall short of 1979; the outcome depends partly upon the date of disposition of the bank, partly upon the degree of slippage in insurance underwriting profitability, and partly upon the severity of earnings problems in the savings and loan industry. | | | In 1979 they continued to perform well, largely because the underlying companies in which we have invested, in practically all cases, turned in outstanding performances. | | | However, John Ringwalt has thrown himself into the task of getting things straightened out and we have confidence that he, aided by several strong people who recently have been brought aboard, will succeed. |

| | But by March of 1979 the Ramones had become more interested in being themselves than in changing the world, the Sex Pistols had disbanded, and The Clash, feeling burned out, had fired the manager who helped put the band together, in 1976. | | | Whether they wanted it or not, punk rock had become their responsibility. | | | Paradoxically, it was the corporate paymaster CBS that eventually ran ads for The Clash with the tagline “The only band that matters.” In March of 1979, everyone, including The Clash, knew that the hype might be more than hype. |

| | Amazon.com: The China Syndrome: DVD: Jane Fonda,Jack Lemmon,Michael Douglas,Scott Brady,James Hampton,Peter ... |
| | One of the most controversial and often debated issues of the decade was whether or not the convenience and efficiency of the nation's nuclear power plants were worth the obvious risks they entailed. | | | The film, a big-budget, major-studio production directed by James Bridges that featured Fonda, Lemmon and Michael Douglas in perhaps their finest roles in the decade, involved a full three years of preparation before it was finally released to theaters. | | | Curiously, however, the Seventies managed to produce only one feature film dealing with the subject, "The China Syndrome", an excellent, thought-provoking "doomsday" thriller that became the first major screen success of 1979. |
