Some observers detect in him a touch of demagogy and personal vanity. One photographer who has followed Walesa notes that he never passes a mirror without stopping to pat his hair into place. In interviews, he sometimes seems flippant to the point of arrogance. In private conversation, he has a marked fondness for first-person pronouns. In public appearances, however, he can exhibit flashes of deep humility. A crowd of miners in Jastrzebie last October asked Walesa who could teach them democracy. His answer: "Who?

...Carter and Reagan analysts detect two other trends among women voters: they are more likely to make up their minds later than men and to stay with an incumbent. This so worried Carter's advisers in 1976 that Pollster Patrick Caddell warned in a late-campaign memo that women were staying with President Gerald Ford in numbers great enough to defeat Carter.

...their oil-rich Eastern province. In defense of their oil, the Saudi government last week put in a quick but urgent request for new military hardware from the U.S. Washington sent four highly sophisticated surveillance aircraft, which are known as AWACS and carry radar equipment sensitive enough to detect both high-and low-level bombers more than 230 miles away...
...gave him the confidence to deal with his specifically American motifs. By no stretch of the imagination could Hopper be called an avant-gardist.

Before TV camera crews and about 100 reporters, Brown confirmed that the U.S. had indeed test-flown a plane that was hard for radar to detect, said that it "cannot be successfully intercepted with existing air defense systems" and boasted that the development "alters the military balance" in favor of the U.S.-even though a fully operational Stealth bomber could not fly until 1987 at the earliest...
