...N.R.B. directory shows increases in TV stations (from 221 to 259), radio stations (1,370 to 1,393) and groups producing programs (1,010 to 1,068). Mindful of these signs of continued strength, President and Mrs. Reagan visited the N.R.B. meeting.

How many Bert Lances and Ed Meeses, with their singular financial styles, are circulating now, eager to wield federal authority next year? What often goes on in the political trenches is not acceptable in the calmer climates...
