The damage to Reagan's legacy, to the Republican Party and to Vice President George Bush's troubled presidential bid has already been severe...

So far the Meese issue is only a tiny blip, far below public concern about drugs and jobs. He was rumbling down Pennsylvania Avenue in his limousine last week when an aide showed him a piece of wire copy, quoting Connecticut's Republican Senator Lowell Weicker, who was traveling with Reagan on Air Force One. While saying he would wait for the McKay report before suggesting Meese should resign, Weicker snorted, "I've been battling the son of a bitch...
