...instructions were to express displeasure about the pending arms sale but not to make a major issue of it. "I guess it's just something we'll have to live with," said one high official in Israel at the time. Israelis assert that Shamir was given no hint that the deal might include AWACS and they now feel misled, even betrayed. U.S. officials insist that Shamir was told specifically that AWACS might be included...
...Louis Harris poll shows that those who express "a great deal of confidence" in the press have decreased over the past 15 years from 29% to 19%. Another hint of popular displeasure may be the outsize $1.6 million libel award a jury gave the entertainer Carol Burnett when she won her suit against the National Enquirer.

The President's meaning was unmistakable: the public wants deep cuts in both spending and taxes, and any legislator who tries to keep the ax from falling risks putting his own neck under an ax at the polls. But the warning did not prevent opponents in and out of Congress, some of whom had initially seemed stunned into silence by the vigor of Reagan's budget blitz, from recovering their voices. Though...
