Ronald Reagan was suffering from a sinus inflammation and joked about "feeling hollow." He was on an all-liquid diet prior to a routine medical examination. Nonetheless, the President was in good humor during an Oval Office conversation with TIME White House Correspondent Laurence I. Barrett the morning after victory in the Senate. Reagan's mood turned from mellow to flinty on only one subject: criticism of his foreign policy apparatus and recurrent rumors that he wants to get rid of either Secretary of State Alexander Haig, National Security Adviser Richard Allen, or both. Reagan moved forward...
...about it. Everything happens--all my movement, what I do, what I say." But this particulars night, a little more than the unexpected occurs. Between songs, a derelict shuffles through the limited space separating Meyreles and the crowd, halting everything. In front of the musician, the lowlife makes a hollow, pathetic smile.

Dade County Medical Examiner Joe Davis last month denounced Marielito murderers on a local TV show: "These guys...
After his defeat, Benn tried to see the bright side: "It is a victory because from the very beginning right through to the end we have won the argument." But the words rang hollow a few hours later, when the Brighton conference rejected a Benn-backed resolution calling for Britain to pull its troops out of Northern Ireland. Subsequent votes turned down leftist proposals on nationalization and withdrawal from NATO. But a conference vote for unilateral nuclear disarmament fell just short of the two-thirds majority necessary to make it mandatory policy in the party manifesto. Then it voted overwhehningly...
