What's more, the University should continue a well-thought out policy of spending its hard-won Campaign loot on building up existing programs and facilities. The specific goals of the Campaign are basically three-fold: raising money for student aid, faculty salaries, and renovating the dorms and other buildings. New buildings, facilities, and programs--which often pack unforseen costs--are notably absent from the drive's shopping lists.

When eight of them were invited to the White House, Reagan was solemn. He passed up his usual jokes and stories but employed what one participant called "a lot of eye contact." Reagan claimed that he had no qualms about the bill and had not been talked into supporting it by aides. He insisted that only about 17% of the revenue in the package would come from tax increases (chiefly on cigarettes, telephone bills and airline tickets). The rest...
