...memory of the Democratic Convention away." Political professionals regard summer surveys as rough sketches of attitudes, however, believing that voters do not focus on the campaign until after Labor Day. Reagan's analysts say they expect the President's lead to shrink, but even the rare White House pessimists count on staying ahead by at least four points...
...Tomahawk used in the San Clemente test was armed with a conventional explosive, but the missiles can be tipped with nuclear warheads. That presents a worrisome obstacle to arms control: cruise missiles, particularly those based at sea, are difficult to count, and there is no way to verify whether they carry nuclear warheads. But their deadly accuracy, as shown in the photos released last week, makes them potentially a very destabilizing weapon. The Navy plans to procure 4,000 sea-based cruise missiles. Last month it confirmed that it had begun installing nuclear warheads on some of them...
...judging controversies were largely rooted in the idiosyncrasies of Olympic scoring, which rewards boxing, not brawling.

On the judge's part, it takes surgical concentration to count the blows and apportion their weight. Spectators conditioned by the blood sport...

But he was lackadaisical and distracted in his opening fight against a brawling Canadian, and suffered the ignominy of a standing eight count before winning the decision. Breland flashed his old form hi stopping Mexico's Genaro Leon in the first round of the quarterfinals, and handily whipped Italy's Luciano Bruno to reach the gold-medal round. His 5-0 victory over South Korea's Young...
...CUSTOMER. Americans, in turn, respond to that attention. Sears gets letters all the time asking its advice on almost every human problem, from marital to technical. Politicians have even tried to get Sears on their side. In the 1930s a storied Georgia Governor told voters that they could count on "God Almighty, Sears, Roebuck and Eugene Talmadge...
