...sets ($25) to porcelain eagles ($1,750), and $2.2 million from advertising on the televised portion of the Inaugural gala (ABC). But some cost-cutting efforts have backfired. Seeking 200 performers for public events, a committee consultant placed an ad in a trade publication for nonunion, "clean-cut, All-American types," to work for expenses but no wages. Several unions, including the Screen Actors Guild, which Reagan headed more than three decades ago, were outraged.

Walter Mondale, the shoo-in, treated him like an earnest graduate assistant...
...while May has not scored a clean-cut victory for herself or for the other "little men" and, especially, little women, she has at least thrown a wrench into the workings of the Quayle machine; wrought a bit of anarchy worthy of Sonya's designs. Perhaps that is the best she could hope to do. In May Alto's world--one in which decency, even mere intelligence mark the losers and people like Quayle win the laurels--anarchy becomes a reasonable response. We cannot know whether a real alternative exists; whether Alto actually ever might have succeeded...
