...Northism typified Reagan Administration tactics before Ollie was declared a hero, has the President cleaned house since then? While he has surely removed some rats from the CIA and the NSC, they abound in the other crevices and crannies of the Administration bureaucracy. Looking at the domestic policy front once again, the Department of Education reveals the same type of irresponsibility that used to characterize...
...Please pass the chips." Time was when that request led to a predictable result: a crackling treat of smooth, fragile, bitingly salty potato chips. No longer. Now staggering possibilities abound: chips sliced from white or sweet potatoes that could be thick or thin, ridged or smooth, and with or without salt and preservatives.

...know how much vacation time he had accrued at the end. Then he died of cancer." The son goes sailing all right -- "only about 365 days a year." A San Diego drapery business Conner acquired through one of his several mentors and patrons must run itself. Stories abound in Perth of the fallen bicyclists and smudged newsboys the captain has randomly scooped up and taken for boat rides, but even Conner's wife Judy wonders whether he is just commemorating himself. "He never relaxes, and we never go on vacations," she says in an interesting reference. "Hell to Dennis would...
