Administration officials gave those hazy and conflicting accounts last week to a congressional subcommittee probing a revelation that Ronald Reagan may have got an unfair advantage during the 1980 presidential campaign from a purloined briefing book. Both Baker and Stockman confirmed that they had received one of President Carter's confidential briefing books, which was used to help prepare Reagan for his nationally televised debate with Carter in October...

A Reagan "mole" obtained President Carter's point-by-point strategy for the candidates' televised debate. Aide Richard Darman spirited away copies of constitutional documents to keep the Cabinet from weighing Reagan's fitness to hold office after he was shot. White House Chief of Staff James Baker, then manager of George Bush's presidential campaign, announced Bush's withdrawal from the California primary without consulting the candidate. But the book offers more than nuggets...
