...Baker and Richard Darman, now the top men at Treasury. "Darman was very careful at keeping the President's rhetoric under control," says a high Administration official. The new staff, by contrast, favors a combative tone, and that tone has begun to backfire. White House Director of Communications Patrick Buchanan in particular has urged a confrontational style, and that approach has been accepted by Regan, who is not averse to confrontation himself. Said Regan after the contra vote: "We have an issue: Who is to blame for the spread of Communism in Central America? The Democrats are going to regret...
That China would not officially welcome American nuclear weapons was hardly surprising, but the announcement rekindled a touchy controversy.

When he gets done, we'll have the rich and the poor. But he's great." Even a visitor primed...
...matters is the state of mind created by this superfunded environment. Reagan and his aides still see themselves as outlanders locked in a battle with legions of old liberal Democratic bureaucrats and bleeding- heart journalists who built Big Government and, in the words of White House Communications Director Pat Buchanan, "haven't been right about an important political issue since John Kennedy. They are out of touch--and frozen...
