...Fourth concert in 1981. The environmental impresario's alternative choice to show "the glories of America in a patriotic and inspirational way": Vegas Lounge Lizard Wayne Newton, who is in his element crooning before gamblers clutching highballs and waitresses. Such undesirable Beach Boys fans as George Bush, Michael Deaver and Nancy Reagan (a closet B.B. groupie) thought Watt was out of tune and touch. The Great Conductor himself, Ronald Reagan, called Watt into the Oval Office for a brief musical seminar. Then the President presented him with a plaster statue of a foot with a bullet hole...

The troika has since become a quartet with the addition a year ago of William Clark as National Security Adviser, who has the dominant voice on foreign policy. But on such crucial domestic issues as the budget and Social Security, Baker has emerged with his hands on the steering wheel, deftly maneuvering Reagan away...

...G.O.P. legislators' advice reinforced what Reagan was hearing from his staff and Cabinet. Advocates such as White House Chief of Staff James Baker and Deputy Chief of Staff Michael Deaver, who had earlier proposed deficit-reducing steps and been rebuffed by the President, sat back and let others do the talking. Presidential Counsellor Edwin Meese for the first time argued strongly for slower increases in military spending. Secretary of State George Shultz, a newcomer to budget councils, whose advice as a professional economist Reagan highly respects, artfully mused about ways in which military outlays could be reduced if only...
