...Moreover, the occupant of the office, Nixon's director of the Office of Management and Budget, often proudly pointed to both Reagan's grin and the handwritten inscription under it: "The smile is for real, thanks to you. In friendship and warm regards, Ron." Said the OMB boss to one visitor: "Now, there is a man who really knows how to cut budgets...
...Reagan's director of the Office of Management and Budget, he accepted with alacrity. It was, after all, a chance to put into practice the budget gospel that he had been preaching during his two terms as a Congressman from southern Michigan: cut, cut and slash, slash. His boss has promised to slice 2% from the $640 billion budget for 1981; Stockman may push for more radical surgery.

"These talks were very difficult," a well-informed Polish journalist told TIME last week. "From our side there were...
...alarm clocks did: Judy (Jane Fonda) is square, Doralee (Dolly Parton) is frilly, Vi (Lily Tomlin) is sensible. Together, though, they are a Stenographic catastrophe; they'd lose the quick-brown-fox race to Charlie's Angels. Vi, "the smart one," thinks she has poisoned her insufferable boss; she hasn't. The three then kidnap a cadaver from the hospital, thinking they've got their boss in the car trunk; they haven't. The movie is just as absentmindedly schizophrenic. Nine to Five thinks it's a suspenseful comedy with a mind...
