...years ago, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld talked Gen. Peter Schoomaker, into coming out of retirement and leading the Army as its Chief of Staff. Since then, Schoomaker, a former Delta Force commando who's fought all over the world, has been busy creating what both men want: a completely reorganized ground force with smaller more versatile fighting units. Schoomaker, 59, sat down with TIME's Sally Donnelly and Douglas Waller to explain the challenges of changing the Army - and working for a very demanding boss...

Then Treasury Secretary Donald Regan supported a hands-off policy that allowed market forces to determine exchange rates. But the staggering U.S. budget deficit and resulting high interest rates pushed the dollar steadily upward. By last March, the dollar was more than 80% stronger than in 1980.
