| | 1980s Music |
| | Electropop is a genre of synthesizer pop music which flourished during the early 1980s, although the first recordings were made in the late 1970s. | | | 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. | | | During the 1980s three revolutions had taken hold of popular music: the emergence of disc-jockeys as a creative force (in particular in house and techno music), the advent of hip-hop (and therefore of the "rapper"), and the marriage of industrial music, heavy metal and hardcore [...]. |

| | Nuclear nonproliferation was not a high priority of the Reagan administration - throughout the 1980s it downplayed Pakistan's nuclear program, though its intelligence indicated that a weapons capability was being pursued, in order to avert congressionally mandated sanctions. | | | 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]. | | | The U.S. promoted the Aqaba pipeline project strenuously for several years during the early to mid 1980s. |

| | Tax Cuts Increase Federal Revenues |
| | The article then claims that the 1980s Reagan tax cuts failed to increase tax revenues; | | | 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." | | | That notion, chided as "voodoo economics" by critics, turned out to be false when it was last in vogue, during the 1980's." |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | 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. |
