...ADMINISTRATION officials have acted more consistently to show the ugliest features of Reaganism than White House counselor Edwin Meese III. It was Meese who recently raised anew the Reagan government's callousness and insensitivity, when he questioned concern over hunger in the country, and implied that many people in soup lines were really not impoverished. It was Meese who led the Administrations push for tax exemptions for colleges that racially discriminate. And it was Meese who has worked actively to enact the President's notorious directive of March 11, 1983, which seeks to create what is essentially a lifetime censorship...
These academics, once scorned by modernist taste but now almost as rehabilitated as their pupils, gave new American art its pedigree. At one point Gérôme had 90 American students. As an American critic remarked in 1864, "We have not time to invent and study everything anew. The fast-flying 19th century would laugh us to scorn should we attempt it.

Now the struggle begins anew to find the direction for the Jewish state...
...Carolina had resurrected the old smear that King was a Communist sympathizer, setting off a shouting tumult in which other legislators broke Senate rules to impugn Helms' motives. Then, only hours after the Senate vote had seemingly put an end to the controversy, Ronald Reagan needlessly started it anew. At his Wednesday night news conference, the President defended Helms' "sincerity" even as he pledged to sign the holiday bill. Leading Democrats quickly demanded that Reagan disavow Helms. The notes of rancor were doubly distressing because the new holiday is intended to symbolize the commitment of all Americans...
