...many ways Reagan's 1988 budget seems like a wishful blueprint for a miracle. The President proposes to slash the deficit to $108 billion, the 1988 target prescribed by the Gramm-Rudman law, without a tax increase and while still boosting defense spending by 3%, after adjustment for inflation. The deficit reduction would come entirely through further cuts in social and other nondefense spending, along with short-term expedients like sales of Government assets. But private economists are almost universally doubtful that the formula can work. Charles Schultze, a Brookings Institution scholar who was President Carter's chief economic adviser...
...Admittedly, Cuomo is packaged as much as any national political candidate. However, unlike other candidates, Cuomo's media attention comes largely from the strong, confrontational stands he has been taking on issues in his speeches and in his writings. Cuomo is a man with national focus not because a blueprint designed by a small group of political operatives, but because he is a dynamic, thoughtful individual. Cohen is simply wrong--Cuomo does have a strong political ideology which he has articulated over and over again. As for taking strong, unpopular stands, Cuomo's views on the death penalty and abortion...
...billion trade surplus has sparked a worldwide protectionist outcry. He has said repeatedly that the Japanese must try to open Japan's normally inaccessible markets to world goods, though real progress has been slow. "Making Japan more open to the rest of the international community," says a government- commissioned blueprint for economic reform, "is in Japan's own national interest...
...nation known for its fiery orators, Virgilio Barco Vargas is a notable exception. While campaigning for President, Barco plodded through speeches with all the verve of an engineer explaining a blueprint. Supporters of the 64-year-old liberal were reduced to saying, "Virgilio may be a bad candidate, but he'll make a great President." Colombians evidently agreed. When the May 25 ballots were tallied last week, Barco was elected by the largest landslide in the country's history. The M.I.T.-trained engineer, who monitored the results on his computer terminal, won 58% of the vote, vs. 36% for Conservative...
Haseltine's research focuses on the genetic structure of the AIDS virus. "We analyze the virus' DNA sequence to get a blueprint on what the virus can do," explains Haseltine, who is an associate professor of pathology at the Med School. His lab has found a number of unusual genes on the AIDS virus including the tat-gene which makes it possible for the AIDS virus to replicate many times faster than the average virus, and the art-gene which regulates the virus' speed of reproduction...
