...Wednesday, Weinberger was ready to play a few specific cards, but he dealt them with a sleight of hand. At a White House lunch, he rattled off some numbers in a near mumble, giving only the President printed notes to follow. The others were "treated like second-class citizens," claimed one observer. When those around the table finally unscrambled Weinberger's offer, they did not think much of it. He had proposed shifting a scheduled 5.6% military pay increase from January 1986 to July 1, 1985, producing a paper saving of $4 billion in the fiscal 1986 budget with...
...Having dealt with the machine's more visible flaws, IBM immediately set in motion a two-pronged marketing campaign that combined dramatic price cuts with blitzkrieg advertising-radio, TV, newspapers, magazines, even direct mail. The price cutting began in earnest in July, when IBM slashed the cost of the basic one-diskdrive model from $1,269 to $999.

By November, computer stores were offering a computer...

...operations which promise the most success for the least amount of money. For example, doctors should perhaps invest their energy into programs which discourage smoking--the single biggest cause of death in this country. Hypertension and high blood pressure are other major causes of disease which, if effectively dealt with, could save millions of lives in the future...
...other. The television debates-strangely useless and useful-will await their playbacks in 1988. Two forces in American politics certainly will not go away: women and blacks. Two issues, abortion and church and state, will not go away either. It should be interesting to see how they are dealt with outside the shouting matches of a competition for office...
