...tendency toward day-to-day management will inevitably be magnified while Reagan recuperates from his surgery. Even after the President is fully recovered, some Administration well-wishers fear Donald Regan's pyramid staff system will work against any long-range approach. Says one White House official: "Coping with day-to-day matters, or even with emergencies, when there is just one strong leader at the top is easier than getting a group together that can figure out where to be in four or five months...

...U.S.F.L., which was formed in 1983 on the novel premise that action-starved gridiron fans would flock to see football in spring and summer, attempted to upset that arrangement. Led by New York Developer Donald Trump and other multimillionaires, the new league initially tossed around seven-figure salaries to lure players away from the N.F.L. As a result, the average N.F.L. salary has risen 58%, to $163,000, in the past two years. The N.F.L.
