...former NATO commander and Reagan's first Secretary of State, Haig may be the most credible of the treaty opponents. Never a darling of the right wing, he skips anti-Communist boiler plate and stresses geopolitical concerns: that eliminating Euromissiles will heighten the Soviets' overwhelming advantage in conventional forces; that denuclearization of Western Europe , could weaken the NATO alliance; that the treaty fails to address the need for cuts in the Soviets' arsenal of ICBMs. In 1981 Haig argued for a deal that would leave each side with a reduced number of missiles. When he lost that argument, he dutifully...
...flip side of Gephardt's natural feel for the legislative compromise is, as former Administrative Aide John Crosby puts it, a tendency "to be all things to all people." Gephardt is overtolerant, too slow to judgment. Other than anti-Reagan boiler plate, criticisms rarely pass his lips. Even some loyal aides concede that he has flitted from issue to issue in a way that reduces his effectiveness. Last week longtime Spokesman and Confidant Don Foley resigned from the campaign because of friction with Campaign Manager Bill Carrick. But Gephardt has often relieved subordinates by kicking them upstairs. "If I have...
Simpson, the Senate's Republican whip, does not hesitate these days to identify the distinguishing feature of Baker's two-month stewardship in the boiler room of the White House: "innate civility and kindness."

...liner sank instantly due to a very unfortunate blow struck by the freighter," Deputy Maritime Fleet Minister Leonid Nedyak told a press conference in Moscow less than 48 hours after the accident. "The point of impact was between the engine room and the boiler room and practically ripped the ship open." There was no time, he said, to launch lifeboats, though many of the survivors, among them Captain Markov, were able to hang on to inflatable rafts deployed from the deck...
...remained fundamental materials, but they were used in unorthodox ways; and in addition, a sculptor could use any kind of junk, from cardboard, tin and pine boards (the stuff of Picasso's and Laurens's cubist constructions) to the wire and celluloid favored by constructivists, the steel plates and boiler ends forged by Smith, and so on down to rocks, twigs, burlap, twine or even the artist's own dung, which, canned and labeled by the Italian Piero Manzoni in 1961, provided a nastily prophetic comment on fetishism in late modern art. On its road away from statuary, sculpture gained...
