...messages got through. Secretary Regan picked up Rostenkowski's hint and passed word, through Conable, to "tell Danny that I want to talk to him." Dole's signal was also received, and he was brought into the dialogue. These talks laid the basis for what may eventually be a Dole-Rostenkowski tax bill, which, noted one aide, would have the advantage of allowing everyone to take credit for "a statesman-like compromise" while removing the partisan Kemp-Roth label...
...sustained standing ovation that greeted the President was bipartisan. The lawmakers demonstrated their affection for a likable man, who had borne up under the shooting ordeal with courage, humor and no hint of self-pity. Sensitive to the situation, Reagan, with a thespian's finesse, did not overplay his role. His voice faltered only slightly as he expressed his and Nancy's thanks for "your messages, your flowers, and most of all, your prayers-not only for me but for those others who fell beside me." That public outpouring of "friendship and, yes, love" was, he said...
...instructions were to express displeasure about the pending arms sale but not to make a major issue of it.

...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%.

Nobody rushes to defend the shoddy gossiping of the Enquirer-beyond its First Amendment "right" to print it. Even though gossip and personality stories have become a major journalistic trend, the Enquirer does it to excess. The press has other, permanently hostile critics always...
...Even to hint at a willingness to compromise at this time would be equivalent to throwing in the towel in an early round of a championship bout. The White House still has high hopes that a vigorous selling campaign will bring Congress around to voting something close to the full Reagan package. That selling campaign is hindered by the President's inability for now to join it personally, but it is still going forward. Conservative groups are planning a blitz of direct mailings, speeches and TV ads to build pressure for the full Reagan program in the home districts...
