1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix
The 75-lap race was won by Michele Alboreto, driving a Tyrrell-Ford.

John Watson finished second in a McLaren-Ford, with Eddie Cheever third in a Ligier-Matra. Keke Rosberg finished fifth in his Williams-Ford to secure the Drivers' Championship, with Ferrari taking the Constructors' Championship despite neither car finishing in the top six.


1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix
This was the last F1 race for 1978 World Champion Mario Andretti. It was also the last race for the Ensign and Fittipaldi teams, the last for March until 1987, and the last for Matra as an engine supplier.


1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix, Summary
For the first time since the World Championship began in 1950, a country hosted three rounds in the same season in 1982. The final race of the year, and the third in the US, would once again decide the Championship. Keke Rosberg of Williams had 42 points, to 33 for McLaren's John Watson, and needed to finish sixth or better to secure the title. Meanwhile, the race was former world champion Mario Andretti's final grand prix.


1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix, Summary
The course's tight turns and short straights allowed the non-turbo cars to be more competitive than usual, with Michele Alboreto's Tyrrell and Eddie Cheever's Talbot Ligier fastest among them. The turbocharged Renaults of Alain Prost and René Arnoux took first and second positions in qualifying, more than eight-tenths clear of Alboreto. The two Championship contenders, Rosberg and Watson, meanwhile, were in sixth and ninth places respectively, separated by the Ferraris of Mario Andretti and Patrick Tambay.


1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix, Summary
At the green light for the race on Saturday, Prost led from the pole, followed by teammate Arnoux. Cheever, from the fourth spot on the grid, was determined to get around the outside of Alboreto on the first left-hander. They touched wheels, but both continued with Alboreto still in front, Cheever's Ligier sporting a vibrating front wheel and the Tyrrell of Alboreto bearing a tire mark on the right sidepod.


1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix, Summary
For the first ten laps, the Renaults steadily pulled away from Alboreto, with Arnoux now leading Prost. The Tyrrell began to match Arnoux's times, however, and then to close on him, as Prost took back the lead on lap 15. Speculation of a problem with Arnoux's car proved true, as the Renault wasfaltering, and he retired on lap 21.


1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix, Summary
Watson, meanwhile, had dropped to twelfth in the opening laps, but passed Piquet on lap 12, then Rosberg, Andretti and Cheever on successive laps, eventually reaching third place, with a thirty-second gap to the two leaders. However, when Andretti, hoping to help clinch the Constructors' title for Ferrari, slid off directly in front of Rosberg on lap 27 with a broken rear suspension link, Rosberg took over the fifth place he sought.


1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix, Summary
Among the leaders, Alboreto began inching closer to Prost again, and Watson continued to close on both of them. Niki Lauda's McLaren retired on lap 54, while Alboreto had eliminated the gap to Prost, and gotten by him to take the lead in a Grand Prix for the first time. Prost's tires were picking up rubber and had developed a vibration. In four more laps, Watson had also caught and passed him, but he was having the same problem as Prost, and so could make no progress on Alboreto.


1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix, Summary
Alboreto cruised to a comfortable victory, his first ever and the first for Tyrrell in four years. Alboreto was the 11th different victor that year. Cheever was also able to overtake the ailing Prost for third, nine laps from the end. Less than three seconds behind Prost, and the last car on the lead lap, was Rosberg, who therefore won the title. Ferrari won the Constructors' Championship despite not finishing in the points.


1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix, Championship permutations
Rosberg and Watson both entered this race with a chance of winning the Drivers' Championship.

1982 California Proposition 8
Proposition 8 (or The Victims' Bill of Rights), a law enacted by California voters on 8 June 1982 by the initiative process, restricted the rights of convicts and those suspected of crimes and extended the rights of victims. To do so, it amended the California Constitution and ordinary statutes.


1982 California Proposition 8, Provisions
The Victims' Bill of Rights declared its purpose as to ensure that:


1982 California Proposition 8, Provisions
The rights of victims pervade the criminal justice system, encompassing not only the right to restitution from the wrongdoers for financial losses suffered as a result of criminal acts, but also the more basic expectation that persons who commit felonious acts causing injury to innocent victims will be appropriately detained in custody, tried by the courts, and sufficiently punished so that the public safety is protected and encouraged as a goal of highest importance.


1982 California Proposition 8, Provisions, Amendment of the constitution
The Victim's Bill of Rights added Section 28 to Article 1 of the constitution. This section has since been substantially added to and amended by Marsy's Law, enacted in 2008. Section 28 granted victims of crime the right to restitution from the perpetrator unless there were "compelling and extraordinary reasons" to the contrary. It also conferred a right to school safety; it reads "All students and staff of public primary, elementary, junior high and senior high schools have the inalienable right to attend campuses which are safe, secure and peaceful".


1982 California Proposition 8, Provisions, Amendment of the constitution
Section 28 introduced a "right to truth in evidence". This means that state courts cannot exclude any "relevant evidence" even if gathered in a manner that violates the rights of the accused. The U.S. Constitution takes priority over the California constitution so courts may still be obliged to exclude evidence under the federal Bill of Rights. In practice the law prevented the California courts from interpreting the state constitution so as to impose an exclusionary rule more strict than that required by the federal constitution. Exceptions may be made to the "truth in evidence" rule by a two-thirds vote of both houses of the California Legislature.


1982 California Proposition 8, Provisions, Amendment of the constitution
Section 28 provided that public safety should be the primary consideration in determining whether to grant bail. The Victims' Bill of Rights proposed to repeal Article 1, Section 12, which contained the existing constitutional provisions on bail, but this conflicted with another proposition enacted on the same day. The other proposition received a higher number of votes and so, under the California constitution, it took precedence. Section 28 finally provided that prior felony convictions "shall subsequently be used without limitation for purposes of impeachment or enhancement of sentence in any criminal proceeding".


1982 California Proposition 8, Provisions, Statutory changes
The Victims' Bill of Rights made various changes to the California Penal Code and the Welfare and Institutions Code. Victims of crime were granted the right to be notified of, to attend, and to state their views at sentencing and parole hearings. Other provisions related to the defense of insanity and diminished capacity, harsher punishments for recidivists and the limitation of plea bargaining.


1982 California Secretary of State election
The 1982 California Secretary of State election was held on November 2, 1982. Democratic incumbent March Fong Eu defeated Republican nominee Gordon W. Duffy with 60.54% of the vote.


1982 California gubernatorial election
The 1982 California gubernatorial election occurred on November 2, 1982. The Republican nominee, Attorney General George Deukmejian, narrowly defeated the Democratic nominee, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley. Incumbent Governor Jerry Brown did not seek reelection to a third term (although he was elected again much later in 2010 and 2014).


1982 California gubernatorial election, Primary election summary
In the Democratic primary, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley easily defeated State Senator John Garamendi. On the Republican side, it was a two-man race between Lieutenant Governor Mike Curb and Attorney General George Deukmejian. Deukmejian won the primary with nearly 55% of the vote.


1982 California gubernatorial election, General election
Early indications were that it would be a close race but as the campaign went on, Bradley slowly increased his lead in the polls. Despite this, the outcome was still in doubt as election night wore on. A large late surge of absentee ballots (many from conservative Orange County and Deukmejian's home area of Long Beach) helped tip the balance in his favor. The incorrect polling numbers led to the theory — later dubbed "the Bradley effect" — that a statistically significant number of voters had given inaccurate responses when questioned by pollsters.


1982 California lieutenant gubernatorial election
The 1982 California lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 2, 1982. Democratic nominee Leo T. McCarthy defeated Republican nominee Carol Boyd Hallett with 52.21% of the vote.

1982 Canadian Grand Prix
The 1982 Canadian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on 13 June 1982. It was the eighth race of the 1982 Formula One World Championship. This was the first Canadian Grand Prix to be held in June, the organisers having moved the race from the autumn to allow for warmer weather; it has been held in June ever since.


1982 Canadian Grand Prix
The 70-lap race was won by Nelson Piquet, driving a Brabham-BMW. It was the first Formula One victory for a BMW-engined car, but the only victory of the season for defending Drivers' Champion Piquet. Team-mate Riccardo Patrese finished second in an older Brabham-Ford, with John Watson third in a McLaren-Ford.


1982 Canadian Grand Prix
The race was marred by the death of Italian driver Riccardo Paletti, in only his second F1 race start. At the start, the lights took an unusually long time to turn to green. During this time, Didier Pironi, who had the pole position, stalled the engine of his Ferrari. Pironi lifted his hand to signal the problem just as the lights switched to green, which was too late to abort the start. The other cars swerved across the track, trying to squeeze past Pironi's stationary car.


1982 Canadian Grand Prix
Raul Boesel just clipped the back left of the Ferrari, spinning his March into the path of Eliseo Salazar and Jochen Mass. Salazar, Boesel and Mass suffered minor impacts but it looked as if everyone had passed the Ferrari without serious consequences. However, Paletti could not react in time and slammed into the rear of the stranded Ferrari at 180 km/h (around 110 mph), catapulting it into the path of Geoff Lees. The Osella's nose was crushed in severely.


1982 Canadian Grand Prix
Due to the force of the severe impact, Paletti sustained heavy chest injuries and was lying unconscious in his car, wedged against the steering wheel. Didier Pironi and Sid Watkins, the FIA's head doctor, were on the scene to stabilise and assist Paletti. As Watkins climbed over the wreckage of the Osella, the petrol from the fuel tank ignited, enveloping the car in a wall of fire. When the fire was finally put out, the injured Paletti was without a pulse.


1982 Canadian Grand Prix
It took the rescue workers 25 minutes to cut him out safely from his wrecked car, as the sparks caused by the cutting equipment threatened to re-ignite the petrol on the track. He was flown by a medical helicopter to the Royal Victoria Hospital, where he died soon after arriving. His mother was watching from the stands, where they were to celebrate his 24th birthday later that week. Paletti suffered a torn aorta as well as fractures to both legs.


1982 Canadian Grand Prix
According to track doctor Dr. Jacques Bouchard his pupils were already dilated when medical personnel arrived and that the extended extraction time made no difference to his chances of survival. Paletti was the last driver to be killed during a Formula One race weekend until Roland Ratzenberger at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, and the last to die in a Formula One car until Elio de Angelis lost his life while testing for Brabham at the Circuit Paul Ricard in France in 1986.


1982 Canadian federal budget
The Canadian federal budget for fiscal year 1982-1983 was presented by Minister of Finance Allan MacEachen in the House of Commons of Canada on 28 June 1982. The budget angered public sector unions by imposing a wage restraint package limiting wage increases to six and five percent in the following two years. (This was at a time when double-digit interest rates and inflation were common.)

The format consisted of 12 games, each team facing the other teams twice. The games were played at Héctor Espino Stadium in Hermosillo, Mexico, which boosted capacity to 16.000 seats.


1982 Caribbean Series, Summary
The Venezuelan team, with Alfonso (Chico) Carrasquel at the helm, won the championship title with a 5–1 record. The Leones del Caracas were led by catcher and Series MVP Baudilio (Bo) Díaz (.412 BA, two home runs, five RBI, .500 OBP, .765 SLG), center fielder Tony Armas (.375, six RBI) and LF Luis Salazar (six runs, four stolen bases). Their best pitcher was Luis Leal, who posted a 2–0 record with a 2.08 ERA and 10 strikeouts in 13.0 innings of work.


1982 Caribbean Series, Summary
Behind him were Bud Black (1-0, 1.29), Dennis Burtt (1-0, one save, seven SO in 10⅔ innings) and Tom Dixon (nine scoreless innings in Game 7). Venezuela also featured infielders Andrés Galarraga (1B),  Danny Garcia (1B), Steve Sax (2B), Ron Gardenhire (SS) and Leonardo Hernández (3B), as well as pitchers Joe Cowley and Luis Peñalver, among others.


1982 Caribbean Series, Summary
Puerto Rico was managed by Ed Nottle and ended second with a 3–3 mark. Ponce had no undefeated starters other than Edwin Núñez, who handed the Venezuelans only defeat, pitching a six-hit, one run complete game. Willie Hernández (1-1) and John Butcher (1-1) collected the other two wins. Other roster members included 2B Dickie Thon and outfielders Chili Davis, José Cruz and Candy Maldonado.


1982 Caribbean Series, Summary
The highly favored Leones del Escogido, who won their second consecutive Dominican League title (eight since 1951), posted a disappointing record of 2-4--good enough to tie Mexico in third place. Despite Felipe Alou's best efforts at managing them, the Dominicans suffered both offensively and defensively, committing 12 costly errors and being outscored by their opponents 20-14. The pitching staff, led by Pascual Pérez (1-1),  Elías Sosa (1-0) and Rick Mahler (0-1), collected a solid 3.24 ERA. In contrast, position players such as Tony Peña, Clint Hurdle, Alfredo Griffin, Julio Franco and Carmen Castillo combined for a .223 average with just two home runs.


1982 Caribbean Series, Summary
Hermosillo was managed by Tom Harmon. The two Mexican victories came at the expense of Puerto Rico, 14–0 and 1–0, behind strong pitching efforts by rookie Fernando Valenzuela and veteran Manuel Ibarra with the help of a bullpen headed by Marty Decker. Notable Mexican legends such as slugger Héctor Espino, SS Mario Mendoza, P Vicente Romo and C Alex Treviño joined the team. Also in the roster were LF Dan Gladden, RF Jerry Hairston, Sr., 3B Junior Moore and 2B Wayne Tolleson.


1982 Carlton Football Club season
The 1982 VFL season was the 86th season in the Victorian Football League to be contested by the Carlton Football Club.


1982 Carlton Football Club season
Carlton won the VFL premiership, defeating Richmond in the Grand Final. It was the club's second senior VFL premiership in a row, its third in four years, and the 14th in the club's history.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Club summary
The 1982 VFL season was the 86th season of the VFL competition since its inception in 1897; and, having competed in every season, it was also the 86th season contested by the Carlton Football Club. As it had been since 1897, the club's home ground was Princes Park in North Carlton; additionally, it was standard for all clubs in the league at the time to play three or four matches per year at the neutral VFL Park in Mulgrave. In addition to contesting the VFL premiership, the Carlton senior team contested the 1982 Escort Championships, which ran concurrently with the premiership season. Carlton also fielded teams in both the VFL reserves competition (the Statewide Cup) and the VFL under-19s competition.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Club summary
Carlton's key senior personnel were all unchanged from 1981: Ian Rice as club president, David Parkin as senior coach, and Mike Fitzpatrick as captain. Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser was the club's No. 1 ticket holder.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Squad and player statistics for 1982
The following is the final senior squad as announced at the start of the 1982 season, plus mid-season transfers. Numbers in parentheses represent games played and goals kicked for Carlton in the 1982 VFL premiership season.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Playing list changes
The following summarises player transfers to and from the club between the conclusion of the 1981 season and the conclusion of the 1982 season.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Pre-season matches
Carlton played four competitive matches in the lead-up to the 1982 VFL season – three practice matches and an Escort Cup match.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Home-and-away season
Carlton entered the season as the defending premiers. After a slow start, Carlton climbed to the top of the ladder and cemented its position as premiership favourites with nine consecutive wins (plus one in the Escort Cup) between Rounds 3 and 11. The Blues then suffered two heavy losses in three weeks against Essendon and Hawthorn, dropping to second on the ladder, and causing the media to question whether Carlton was still a realistic premiership contender. Their form remained patchy, and after heavy upset losses to Geelong and the Swans, Carlton dropped to third.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Home-and-away season
They were considered a serious risk of losing the double chance, with difficult games in the last three weeks of the season, but an upset win over first-placed Richmond in Round 20, and an unexpectedly heavy victory over fifth-placed North Melbourne saw Carlton hold onto third place, and regain form going into the finals.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Finals series
Despite being below Hawthorn on the ladder, Carlton's form in the final rounds of the home-and-away season meant it was favourite to win the qualifying final, which it did by a comfortable margin. They were then comprehensively beaten by minor premiers Richmond in the Second Semi-Final; Richmond led by 30 points at quarter time, and the final margin of 23 points was not reflective of Richmond's overall dominance on the day.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Finals series
The Preliminary Final against Hawthorn was a tough, ugly game of football which divided opinions; the Sun reporters Lou Richards and Tom Prior were critical of both teams for their poor skills, but their Sun colleague Don Scott described it as a classic preliminary final, finding the tightly defensive contest enthralling. Only five goals were scored in the first half arm-wrestle, before Carlton opened up a big lead with six goals to two in the third quarter, ultimately winning by 31 points.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Finals series
In the Grand Final, Richmond led a close game by 11 points at half time, aided by Carlton's inaccurate goalkicking – the score was 9.4 (58) to 6.11 (47). Carlton then added five goals to zero in the third quarter to lead by 17 points, maintaining roughly this margin to the final siren to win the premiership.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Commonwealth Games
Eleven days after the season was over, Carlton played a Grand Final rematch against Richmond as a demonstration sport at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane. Richmond won the high-scoring match by eighteen points.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Escort Championships
Carlton participated in the 1982 Escort Championships, which ran concurrently with the VFL season. Carlton reached the semi-final stage before being eliminated by North Melbourne.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Premiership team
For the second consecutive season, both Geoff Southby and Rod Austin were missing from the premiership team due to injury. Southby was injured in the semi-final, as he had been in 1981; Austin had been widely considered best on ground in the preliminary final, but was hospitalised after he suffered a flare-up of a groin complaint which he had carried into that match.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Notable events
In the Round 1 match at Princes Park, Fitzroy overcame a 32-point half-time deficit to hit the lead late in the match, but Carlton drew the game with a behind on the final siren from Greg Wells.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Notable events
Fitzroy complained about the game-tying behind for three separate reasons: that the free kick from which Wells scored the behind was a wrong decision; that after Wells played on, the kick was actually taken after the siren had sounded because the siren wasn't loud enough to be heard; and that the kick, which fell short and went through off the hands of a pack, was deliberately forced through for a score by a Carlton player and should have been a dead ball. There was no formal protest against the result, and the VFL endorsed the umpires' decision in all three cases.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Notable events
Crowd behaviour at VFL matches was put under the spotlight after the death of 28-year-old father Robert Dickson. Dickson, an innocent bystander to a brawl in the crowd of the Round 1 match between Carlton and Fitzroy at Princes Park, was king-hit as he tried to protect his six-year-old son from the violence. He was released from hospital after the incident, but suffered an aneurysm a week later and died in hospital in late April.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Notable events
Dickson's autopsy did not connect his aneurysm to the trauma suffered in the brawl, but the incident nevertheless served as a trigger for the VFL and police to review behavioural standards of patrons at VFL matches, which had been poor in recent years. From 4 May, patrons were banned from bringing alcoholic beverages into VFL matches, and were limited to purchasing at most two pre-opened cans at a time from vendors at the ground. The Carlton and Fitzroy Football Clubs and the VFL all donated money to Dickson's widow.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Notable events
Ruckman Warren Jones retired briefly during the season. He was dropped to the reserves for the Round 12 Queen's Birthday Monday match against Essendon after allegedly breaking a team curfew, and submitted a letter of resignation to the club on Tuesday. After meeting with the club hierarchy, he withdrew his resignation on the Thursday, and went on to play in the premiership team three months later.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Notable events
Wayne Johnston was reported for striking Hawthorn defender David Polkinghorne in the face during the Qualifying Final. Polkinghorne gave evidence against Johnston at the tribunal, and Johnson was suspended for two matches, meaning that he would potentially miss the Grand Final if Carlton qualified for it by winning the Second Semi-Final. There was surprise and some backlash among players and football media about Polkinghorne's frank testimony against Johnston, as there was generally considered to be an unspoken "code of silence" discouraging players giving incriminating evidence against their opponents at the tribunal. As Carlton ultimately lost the Second Semi-Final and won the Preliminary Final, Johnston was able to come back into the team for the Grand Final.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Notable events
The Collingwood Football Club endured a tumultuous 1982 season, with coach Tommy Hafey sacked at mid-season due to the club's poor on-field performances, followed by a successful spill at board level by a group known as the New Magpies. The media speculated extensively on the new board making a big money move to poach a successful senior coach from another club, and Parkin, whose contract with Carlton was finishing, was one of the key targets. On 20 September, the Sun reported that a deal for Parkin to move to Collingwood in 1983 was all but signed off, only to be forced to publish a retraction two days later when Carlton signed him to remain with the club until 1985.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Notable events
The third quarter of the Grand Final was famously interrupted when Helen d'Amico, a 17-year-old Adelaide-based stripper, streaked onto the field, naked except for a Carlton scarf. She went up to and accosted Bruce Doull, before Wayne Johnston dragged her from the field. d'Amico was fined $1000, and the incident is now a memorable moment of Grand Final folklore.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Notable events
Early in the season, the VFL arranged for the Grand Finalists to play a rematch at the 1982 Commonwealth Games, which were being held in Brisbane shortly after the season was finished. Carlton and Richmond faced off in the exhibition match at the Gabba on Wednesday, 6 October, in front of a sell-out crowd of 15,000 – including the Duke of Edinburgh – and an international television audience in the millions.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Notable events
The Gabba playing surface was much smaller than typical VFL-sized grounds because of the dog track around the perimeter, so it was possible to score from the centre of the ground. This, coupled with the exhibition nature of the match which emphasised spectacular and skillful play ahead of ferocious defence, resulted in a very high scoring match. Carlton kicked eleven goals to four in the third quarter to take a 17-point lead into three-quarter time, before Richmond kicked ten goals to five in the final quarter to win the match by 18 points, 28.16 (184) to 26.10 (166). Richmond received $20,000 as winners of the match; Carlton received $10,000.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Leading Goalkickers
Full forward Ross Ditchburn was Carlton's leading goalkicker for 1982, achieving the feat in his first season of VFL football, and despite playing only half of Carlton's matches for the season. A farmer from country Western Australia, Ditchburn had played several seasons of WANFL football, but had returned to his family's farm in his small home town of Kukerin in 1981.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Leading Goalkickers
He was already tied to Carlton if he ever came to Victoria, and at age 25 he decided he needed to make the attempt at VFL football in 1982 before he became too old to have a reasonable chance at it. Ditchburn initially struggled, and by Round 14, he had played only one senior game for one goal, and was considered too slow to play his preferred position of centre half forward at the top level.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Leading Goalkickers
He was nearly cleared back to Western Australia at mid-season, but was instead moved to full-forward where he was able to cement a regular place in the team for the last twelve games of the season. He kicked a total of 61 goals in his thirteen senior games for the year; he also kicked 44 goals for the reserves, for a season total of 105 goals across both grades.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Team awards and records
Carlton's two exhibition matches against Richmond – the pre-season match in Swan Hill, and the post-season at the Commonwealth Games – were very high scoring. These are not considered formal senior games, but when compared with VFL premiership matches:


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Individual awards and records
The Robert Reynolds Trophy for Carlton's senior best and fairest was awarded to Jim Buckley. It was the first and only time that Buckley won the club best and fairest. Buckley won the award despite missing six games, including a horror September in which he suffered bouts of glandular fever, mild hepatitis and a thigh injury, which caused him to miss two finals matches and a significant amount of training; he was in doubt leading up to the Grand Final, but was able to take his place in the premiership team.


1982 Carlton Football Club season, Individual awards and records
There were two interstate matches played during the season: Victoria vs South Australia on 17 May; and Victoria vs Western Australia on 13 July. The matches were played under partial State of Origin rules. Carlton players and coaches who were selected in these games were:

1982 Central African Republic coup d'état attempt
On 3 March 1982, opposition politician and leader of the MLPC party, Ange-Félix Patassé, returned from exile to the Central African Republic and staged an unsuccessful coup against General André Kolingba (who himself took power in the 1981 coup d'état) with the help of a few military officers, such as General François Bozizé, who accused Kolingba of treason and proclaimed the change of power in a radio announcement.


1982 Central African Republic coup d'état attempt
Four days later, having failed to gain the support of the Central African Armed Forces, Patassé went in disguise to the French Embassy in Bangui to seek refuge. After heated negotiations between the Kolingba government and France, Patassé was allowed to leave for exile in Togo. Bozizé fled to the north of the country with 100 soldiers, before obtaining refuge in France.

The poster boy was Francisco Muñoz.


1982 Chilean telethon
It was performed at the Teatro Casino Las Vegas in Santiago. The goal was achieved with the sum of $3.


1982 Chinese census
The 1982 Chinese census, officially the Third National Population Census of the People's Republic of China, was conducted by the People's Republic of China with a zero hour of 1 July 1982. A summary of the results were issued by the State Security Bureau and reported in the People's Daily on October 27, 1982.


1982 Chinese census
Preparations for the census were begun in 1976, with fact-finding missions sent to the United States and Japan to review their methods. Computers were installed in every provincial capital except Tibet; these were linked to a central processing unit at the Beijing office of the State Statistical Bureau. Pretests and trial runs occurred in 1980 and 1981. It was not until after this census had begun that the second census of 1964 was officially acknowledged to have occurred at all. It had been an eighteen-year hiatus, and it wouldn't be until 1987 that China adopted a decennial plan, beginning with the 1990 census.


1982 Chinese census
Approximately five million census takers interviewed a representative of each household in China over the month beginning 1 July 1982. In rural areas, census stations were located at production brigades.


1982 Chinese census
The 1982 census removed the previous census's question about class status, but expanded other areas of inquiry. Nineteen demographic categories were covered, thirteen concerning individuals – name, relationship to the head of one's household, sex, age, ethnicity, registration status, educational level, profession, occupation, status if unemployed, marital status, number of living children, number of births in 1981 – and six concerning households – size, type (domestic or collective), serial number, number of births in 1981, number of deaths in 1981, and number of registered persons absent longer than one year.


1982 Chinese census, Results, Total Population
The census found the total population of Mainland China in 1982 as 1,008,180,738. Official Chinese sources such as Xinhua, however, sometimes still report a result of 1,031,900,000. From two newspaper cuttings (China Daily) dated Thursday October 28, 1982 the figure was 1,031,882,511.


1982 Chinese census, Results, Demographics
The census found approximately 519,440,000 men and 488,740,000 women living in China, a ratio of 106.30 to 100.


1982 Chinese census, Results, Demographics
The average household size was 4.41, almost unchanged since the previous census. 33.59% of the population was 14 or under; 61.50% of the population was between 15 and 64; and 4.91% of the population was 65 or older. Life expectancy was estimated to be 66.28 years for males and 69.27 years for females.


1982 Chinese census, Results, Demographics
Han Chinese accounted for approximately 940,880,000 persons (93.32% of the total). Minorities accounted for approx. 67,300,000 persons (6.68%).


1982 Chinese census, Results, Demographics
Early accounts listed an urbanized population of 206.59 million, but this was subsequently revised to 210,820,000. This urbanization rate of 20.91% was an increase of 2.61 percentage points from 1964.


1982 Chinese census, Results, Surnames
In 2004, the 1982 census results were used to create a series of postage stamps honoring the 100 then–most common surnames:


1982 Chinese census, Controversy
Although praised as more accurate than the previous censuses in 1953 and 1964, the 1982 census suffered from irregularities as well. In particular, while the number of official cities shrank from previous lists, the urban population itself increased by more than 50% from a 1981 estimate of 138.70 million to the 1982 census total of 206.59 million.


1982 Chinese census, Controversy
Another anomaly was that birth and death rates recorded by the census and household registration system differed but arrived at similar totals. Both deaths and births were found to have been underreported to the registration system, to maintain rations allocated to the deceased and to avoid punishment for violations of the recent One-Child Policy.


1982 Chinese census, Controversy
The publication of the 1964 data also allowed mortality and survival rates of recent generations to be analyzed in greater detail, revealing an enormous fall-off in surviving children born during the Great Leap Forward as well as an equally large surge afterwards.

1982 Cline
1982 Cline, provisional designation 1975 VA, is a stony asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 8 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 4 November 1975, by American astronomer Eleanor Helin at Palomar Observatory in California, and named after Edwin Lee Cline, inventor and friend of the discoverer.


1982 Cline, Classification and orbit
Cline is a stony S-type asteroid that orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.7–2.9 AU once every 3 years and 6 months (1,283 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.25 and an inclination of 7° with respect to the ecliptic. As a main-belt asteroid with a perihelion of less than 1.74 AU, it is not far from being a Mars-crosser (1.67 AU). The first precovery was taken at Johannesburg Observatory (Hartbeespoort, 076) in 1957, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 18 years prior to its discovery.


1982 Cline, Physical characteristics
The body's first and only rotational lightcurve of Cline was obtained by American astronomer James W. Birnsfield at the Via Capote Observatory (G69), California, in November 2011. It gave a well-defined rotation period of 5.78±0.01 hours with a brightness variation of 0.36 in magnitude (U=3).


1982 Cline, Physical characteristics
According to the survey carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the latest data from the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Cline measures 7.2 and 8.1 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.194 of 0.34, respectively. Previous results by WISE/NEOWISE also gave a diameter of 6.03 and 8.4 kilometers. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 8.18 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 12.8.


1982 Cline, Naming
This minor planet was named in memory of Edwin Lee Cline, a friend of the discoverer and a known inventor in the automotive field who "looked to space as the new frontier". The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 18 April 1977 (M.P.C. 4158).
