...speech at the Convention, based on the foreign policy plank of the party platform, called for a policy much like the one I was later to advocate within the Reagan Administration. Afterward, Justin Dart [a Los Angeles businessman], a member of the kitchen cabinet and an old friend, shook my hand and said, "You're our next Secretary of State." I was not surprised to hear this?the air in a convention quivers with hyperbole?but I did not take it as gospel. I went back to Hartford and my work...
...Bondingly balding Sean Connery, 53, as he donned a Wonder Woman wig given to him by Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals. As the band struck up 007's theme, the club's "Man of the Year" got the traditional brass pot, as well as a dart board displaying a picture of Roger Moore, James Bond's alternate alter ego.

The eyes of the older woman reader, with heavy make-up, arched eyebrows, gypsy rings and long red dress, dart about like those of a nervous crank, making sure the other readers don't take her customers. She offers such wisdom as, "you have a dog who loves you very much [the man is blind and has a seeing-eye dog next to him]. I see a woman coming into your life...
...REGISTERING for the draft, it seems, is a lot like jaywalking. When you dart across the street in the face of a red "Don't Walk" signal, you do not expect to be brought to trial. When you decide not to register in the face of long jail term and a large fine, you do. But in their enforcement of the registration law, the Selective Service and Justice Department have treated non-registrants like jaywalkers; even if you cross there is not much chance you are going to get caught...
