For a young person, exercise can increase physical function by perhaps 10%. But in an old person you can increase it by 50%."

Reagan is old and phasing out. Gorbachev has also become part of our politics: his 54% approval rating in the U.S. Gallup poll is higher than that of most American officials. In the secret files that are being sent to the President by his experts, Gorbachev is viewed as ready to deal if he gets an offer. Should Reagan hint that he could ease up on SDI, the Soviet Chairman might...
