In British English one writes the 1980s, but in American English 1980's seems to be pretty standard. The British version seems sounder as there is no contraction or omission. =============== While the use of the apostrophe in the example used to be commonplace (and, I submit, erroneous), it seems to be fast going the way of the Dodo Bird. Only a nitpicker worse than myself, however, would object to either.
