Reagan's precise legislative plans will not become clear until his State of the Union message, scheduled for Feb. 6. But the broad outlines of his second-term agenda are already well known.

Fur-clad women, collapsed from heat prostration, litter the broad boulevards of the capital. The genial second-term President quips in his vanguard speech, "no, I'm definitely not too could to be President...
