...Ronald Reagan, triumphant but a bit weary from the tax-cut victory, is looking forward to a few days of wood chopping and thinking on his California ranch. Then, if current schedules hold, by Aug. 15 he will make up his mind and soon thereafter tell the world that he wants America's new MX missiles to be air launched, ultimately from new and sophisticated planes that could stay aloft for days...
Abbott was staying at a Salvation Army halfway house in Lower Manhattan until his parole became official on Aug. 25. He was required to check in seven times a day, but otherwise was free to enjoy the city. He was doing just that on early Saturday morning, July 18, in the company of two attractive, well-educated young women he had met at a party.

Will the aquarium open by Aug. 8, as now promised? Replied Schaefer: "You're going to see a mayor with tape over his mouth." But his lips were not completely, er, sealed. Added the mayor: "Tell the aquarium board chairman that if it doesn't open, he and I go back into the pool...
