Those who do not share Mr. Golding's religious views will be alarmed at the starkness of the contrasts he offers; those who are prone to agree with him on religion will be curious how religion is to be applied to society and how faith is to be reconciled with such popular intellectual systems as psychoanalysis...
...foreign policy, Reagan argued, Congress has been long on demands and short on follow-through. Said he: "Congress has not yet developed capacities for coherent, responsible action needed to carry out the new foreign policy powers it has taken for itself."

Surely he was in no political danger from any other Republican. Later, at dinner, Meese leaned over to my wife and said, "Don't worry, he's going to make it." Passing along this mysterious tidbit, Pat commented...
