Reagan believes that too many Government promises and programs have already dimmed the national spirit. He is convinced that the magnificent goose, whose golden eggs Mondale loves to distribute, does not live in the White House but resides in the private sector, fed by the vision of great reward and the fear of failure.

The $250,000 fandango, paid for by private and corporate donors...
...month after she ordered the bloody assault in Punjab against Sikh fanatics at the Golden Temple of Amritsar, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had once again pounded her fist in the name of buttressing India's system of centralized government. Mercifully, there seemed to be little immediate likelihood in Srinagar that the action would lead to the type of bloody confrontation that claimed more than 600 lives in Amritsar.
