...Class of 1983 celebrates its 25th reunion, we take a look back at the opinions published on our pages during their final year at Harvard. This year’s Commencement will mark the fourth anniversary of former President Ronald Reagan’s death from complications of pneumonia. But twenty-five years ago, he was the most powerful man in the world, and the frequent target of Crimson editorialists. 1983’s staff positions read like a rap sheet, chronicling the paper’s disapproval of Reagan’s supply-side economics and aggressive foreign policy...

The slogan of the Underground, by contrast, was "Bring the war home." For strategic...
...Voters who came of age in the 1980s were strongly Republican, thinking Ronald Reagan had brought America back. By contrast, young people today identify themselves as strongly Democratic. They disapprove of Bush and the Iraq war in large percentages, worry about their economic futures and have started paying attention to politics at a time when Republicans have often been making the news for incompetence and scandal...
