They resorted to envelopes, blank checks or even $20 bills. Now executives find something more convenient. Sitting on the tables next to the salt and pepper is a small (2½ in. by 4¼ in.) gray-beige note pad with the legend, "Notes While Dining at the Maurice...

Reagan's remark at the National Prayer Breakfast in which he speculated on the power of prayer in terms of "megatonnage" betrays just how casually he views the use of thermo-nuclear weapons. Not long ago that casual view was exemplified by administration talk of "nuclear warfighting capability", "nuclear warning shots", "survivability", and "twenty million acceptable deaths".
