...Rodriguez connection is only one aspect of Bush's political difficulties. His strongest claim to the 1988 nomination is his bond with the Reagan record. But Iranscam has devastated Reagan's prestige and shattered the mood of political calm that could help Bush, who represents serene continuity. Last week the annual Louis Harris survey on "confidence in institutions" reported a sharp drop in those expressing a "great deal of confidence" in the White House, from 30% in 1985 to 19% -- only 1 point higher than in Jimmy Carter's last year. Said Harris: "To be successful, a Republican may have...
...This is the most fun we've had since Watergate," Ben Bradlee, the Washington Post's top editor then and now, was quoted as saying. In the liberal New Republic, Editor Michael Kinsley wrote, "The only irritating aspect of the otherwise delightful collapse of the Reagan Administration is the widespread insistence that we must all be poker-faced about it . . .

...speaker on the podium of the plush, red-upholstered Congress Hall of Warsaw's Palace of Culture let loose with a spirited 90-minute harangue against almost every aspect of the Polish government's economic policy. Social benefits, he asserted, were "much lower and much worse" than in other Communist-bloc countries. The national economy was collapsing due to "incompetence, lack of knowledge, the pursuit of private interests and bureaucratic swank and arrogance." Seldom since the heyday of Solidarity, the independent trade-union movement, had such harsh blasts been sounded at a Polish labor conference. But the times they...
