...cloudless sky and a blanket of fresh powder greeted Prince Charles and five companions last week as they set off for an afternoon of skiing at Klosters, Charles' favorite Swiss resort. His wife Diana and their sister-in-law Sarah had returned to the chalet after a morning on the slopes. Though Swiss authorities had issued an avalanche warning for altitudes higher than 5,000 ft., Charles and the group rode the lift to 7,000 ft.

Under a blazing sun and cloudless sky, Vincent Olebogeng strolls past an ore bucket spray-painted MERRY XMAS 86. Though the temperature is 87 degreesF, Olebogeng considers the weather cool relief.

The council's economic report warns that the budget deficit is "heading in the wrong direction," and will reach $177 billion, $10 billion more than the Reagan Administration's latest estimate. "I don't buy the esoteric economic arguments that budget deficits aren't so bad," said TRW Chairman Ruben Mettler. "The deficit absolutely must...
...Republicans have many intangibles going their way. Times are good. The people like Reagan the man. Last week, as the sun set slowly in a cloudless sky, some 40,000 turned out in Gulfport, Miss., to watch Reagan preach the politics of happiness...
