...Michigan is outraged: "I'm not sure that's the way to start fighting inflation." Counters Inauguration Co-Chairman Robert Gray: "If the swearing-in of a President is not worthy of the dignity of formal clothes, then we should do away with them." Reagan aides hint that he may also distinguish the event with an as yet undisclosed gesture that will rival Carter's celebrated walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. Boasts Gray: "People will remember more about this President's Inauguration than how he got home...
...nondescript tunes. Above all, Carroll saw the adult world through a child's eyes, that is, as a theater of the absurd. The logic of that world is seen as illogic by a child, and its arbitrary punishments are edged with psychological menace. This production contains no hint of these elements (they were rewardingly incorporated in Andre Gregory's brilliantly intuitive off-Broadway re-creation of ten years...

That freedom to make decisions fits well with Reagan's political philosophy...
...told a Carter aide that when she and her husband leave the mansion, as her "legacy" they will move before Inauguration Day, to give their successors an early start on revamping the family quarters. Not surprisingly, and despite denials by Reagan spokesmen, Carter partisans took that as a startling hint for Jimmy and Rosalynn to consider clearing out well before Jan. 20. As it was, the new Administration seemed to be as intent on redecorating as on Cabinetmaking. Reagan aides traipsed in and out of the White House's working areas to size up office space.
