...roster. There are still some good buys for those who have husbanded their money, either by design or dumb luck. The Moosers grab Milwaukee's Cecil Cooper for $3, the same price that Nova pays for Catcher Ron Hassey. Pitiably, the once mighty Reggie Jackson commands merely a single buck as the Hackers' designated hitter...

If Reagan finally lends his considerable talents to their healing agenda, he could not only recover lost prestige but go on to greater achievements. If he decides to buck an aroused Establishment, he will in all likelihood be run over by events...
