There have been mornings when the good liberal pages of the Washington Post seemed to drip tears in melancholy memory of the old days of lists and rosters and diagrams. "How much time did you spend with Governor Reagan in discussing this position?" an incredulous Democrat, Senator Dale Bumpers, asked Interior Nominee James Watt, who answered.

Their insertion reinforces O'Neill's idealization of the American past, as does the pleasant Charles Ives music played during the set changes...
...news spigots have been turned off in Afghanistan too, or at least diminished to a drip. As the Soviet Union takes hold and expels Western correspondents and cameramen, expect to see fewer of those distant grainy films of Soviet transports landing, and Soviet tanks lumbering up the road, giving visual confirmation to the anchorman's words. Chancellor feels "frustrated as hell...
