...first coma in 1979, she testified, she had heard "madame" moaning and had entered the bedroom: "She was rattling, and I thought she would die any second." But, said Schrallhammer, Von Bülow had insisted his wife was only sleeping and refused for almost nine hours to heed the maid's pleas to call a doctor. Later, Schrallhammer testified, she had found in Von Bülow's closet a black bag containing hypodermic needles and insulin. Speaking in heavily accented English, the German-born maid told the court she had asked...
...just endured six weeks of virtual immobilization at the hands of captors with a reputation for cold-blooded murder, it was a remarkable performance.

While Reagan, without explanation, postponed any firm decision on which advice he would finally heed, he consistently sided throughout the week with Treasury Secretary Donald Regan, who waged a spirited, if lonely, fight against the Stockman-endorsed tax hikes. Stockman had worked with Senate Republican leaders to outline an $84 billion package of tax increases, largely on consumer items, over three years. The Budget Director's hope was to have the big tax hikes emerge from Chairman Pete Domenici's Senate Budget Committee, thereby taking some of the onus for the increases off the White House.
