...practice rooms on the second floor are still unfurnished and unattractive. Chapman, Hamlin and Seltzer have reasonably comfortable office space, and the HDC office certainly has a lived-in look. But by and large the Loeb is immaculate and bare--or, as its detractors would put it, "cold and forbidding." Alongside this lack of warmth, directors complain about the proliferation of Loeb bureaucracy, which imposes all sorts of additional limitations...
Pared Margins. Ronald Reagan will still be faced with Democratic majorities in Sacramento, but their margins were pared to a bare-and possibly friendlier-predominance in both houses. Even powerful Jesse Unruh, Democratic speaker of the lower house and longtime rival of defeated Pat Brown, appeared close to defeat for a time in his once-safe suburban Los Angeles district.

Northwestern Student Leader Skip Mylenski wouldn't have thought of attending the homecoming dance at Chicago's Edgewater Beach Hotel any way but bare-ankled.

Distant Enemies. The crisis laid bare the ugly infighting in the C.D.U. Of the leading Christian Democratic politicians, only Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroder really rallied to Erhard's side. Most of the others seemed poised, in the words of Erich Mende, like "Brutuses waiting to strike down the Chancellor's Julius Caesar." Some seemed happy to make the coalition rebuilding job as difficult as possible...
