...minimized the estimated dangers. Commission scientists and employees were explicitly instructed that they should "Never disagree with established policy." But Ford is able to chronicle this manipulation and bureaucratic blindness precisely because there always was some dissent within the A.E.C. Scores of scientists spoke candidly to him of the actual dangers involved; one A.E.C. scientist explained to Ford that he was not allowed to release a damaging document, and then proceeded to drop the document into a nearby trash can, commenting that he would not notice if Ford removed...
Mondale automatically inherits the front-runner spot, though that is not necessarily the best place to be nearly two years before the actual election. He seems the likely recipient of Kennedy's strength in the industrial states and of an endorsement from the powerful AFL-CIO, which might unite behind a single candidate before the first 1984 primary, something that was not likely as long as both Kennedy and Mondale were running.

The actual task of writing and perfecting a program takes hundreds of hours and requires particular skills and insights that need not reside exclusively in big corporations. IBM, which produces all its own programs for large mainframe computers, established a company precedent when it decided to encourage outsiders to develop software for its successful Personal Computer...

Reagan's recent rendezvous with the Pakistani dictator explicitly reveals his eagerness to distort and ignore reality in order to preserve a clicked belief that all anti-Communist leaders share the same values as the United States. For example, only a day before Zin's visit, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee reviewed evidence indicating that Pakistan has continued its efforts to develop nuclear weapons...
