What I remember about the 80's was fairly primitive space opera, dom-coms, and a few other things. And one thing that was different was that in Oregon you could find more donors to serve coffee.

The Cold War was the biggest thing on the Foreign Policy scene. Islamiscism was known but it was a minor key threat. Domestic politics has more then a bit of continuity. Oh and Reagan was not revered except by his own voters despite modern nostalgia. No sitting president ever is which is perhaps healthy but that is another story.
