Howard Baker, the other Republican worthy, is also determined to hang around and reach for the brass ring. He is a year younger than Bush. But by 1988, he too will be on the threshold of those golden years when a man might prefer shuffleboard to hand-to-hand combat with Democrats and overnight flights to distant capitals...
...Colts, who did not win a game last season and therefore had the right to any sirloin in the shop. Herschel Walker, a fullback formerly of Georgia and currently of New Jersey, once spoke of challenging this entitlement in court but never got around to it. Elway, 22, a golden Californiabred whose pedigree is by Johnny Unitas out of Mickey Mantle, had another option: he could play baseball...

Falwell embodies the worst of the New Right's arrogant dogmatism and political backwardness, and his appearance provided a golden opportunity to shout "the Moral Majority is neither" right in the face of the man who founded that New Right lobbying group and gave it its presumptuous name. Snickering and hissing at Falwell released pent-up anger at the Reagan Administration's attacks on gays, women, Blacks, Central America...
