During the talks President Reagan avoided going into detail on the most contentious issues, such as U.S. beef and citrus exports and Japanese auto imports. Instead, he emphasized the political pressure he faces to gain more trade concessions from Japan. Similarly, Nakasone described the resistance he must contend with in moving faster on trade.

...rather colossal misunderstanding pervades this campus. Due to a chain of events too intricate to detail here, a widely held notion contends this is exam week.

Sheraton took to her Friday column last week and described the encounter in her usual remorseless detail, ending with some speculation on the rights of an orderly person who is ejected from a public restaurant. The rest of the column was devoted to a classic example of what O'Keeffe so greatly fears: a 750-word, clinical rundown on a Chinese restaurant, including the likeliest days...
