レーガンは、西ドイツへの公式訪問で1985年に広く非難された。4月11日にホワイトハウスは、レーガンが両方の世界大戦で死んだドイツの兵士に敬意を表して献花するためにビットブルクの軍事墓地を訪れると発表した。その墓地に武装親衛隊員が埋葬されていることが論争の的になった。様々な地域からの抗議にもかかわらず、それが元敵との間の和解を促進するという理由で、レーガンは訪問を続けた。 http://d.hatena.ne.jp/moleskin/20050427/p2

On April 11, 1985, then White House Press Secretary Larry Speakes informed the media of the planned visit to Bitburg. When asked who was buried at Kolmeshöhe, Speakes said he thought both American and German soldiers were there. Reporters soon discovered that no American servicemen were in the cemetery (in fact, the remains of all U.S. soldiers had long since been removed from German soil) and that Waffen-SS graves were located close to the proposed ceremony. When questioned, Bitburg Mayor Theo Hallet pointed out, all German military cemeteries were likely to contain at least a few SS graves. Such distinctions, though, failed to placate those who were opposed to Reagan's visit on moral and political grounds. Decorations and memorials on the Waffen-SS graves were removed just prior to Reagan's visit, and replaced right after.[1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitburg_controversy_(1985)

Friday 12 July 1996, when the formal announcement of the Prince of Wales's divorce was made, will rank as a day of ill omen when the history of the House of Windsor comes to be written. By an odd coincidence, I spent the day at Fort Belvedere, the castellated folly which was Edward VIII's favourite retreat and where, on 10 December 1936, another day of ill omen for the Windsors, he signed the Instrument of Abdication.
1981 England riots: A race riot began in Southall, London, as a group of white "skinheads" clashed with British Asians. The next day, black British youths in the Toxteth section of Liverpool fought with police, and within a week, disturbances broke out in other English cities.[9]

The New York Times became the first major newspaper to report on the existence of AIDS, with a report on page 20, headlined "Rare Cancer Seen in 41 Homosexuals". Initially referred to as "GRID" (for "Gay Related Immune Disorder"), the illness would later be named Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.[11] The news, picked up by CNN the next day, was based on an article in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, entitled "Kaposi's Sarcoma and Pneumocystis Pneumonia Among Homosexual Men- New York City and California".[12]
