...anyone told Cornelia Jones that she would one day own a house, let alone on Junius Street in Brooklyn's notorious Brownsville district, she would have laughed. The average price for decent housing in adjoining neighborhoods is $80,000, far above what her husband Melvin, a package loader with United Parcel Service, could swing on a salary of just under $30,000.

...carefully navigated through the Iran uproar, the Vice President showed an uncharacteristic little blip of daring. His four-week silence after the scandal surfaced had drawn considerable sneering. Even Nancy Reagan privately began running him down. She told friends that Bush's lack of public support for her husband was inexcusable, a remarkable reaction considering the Vice President's long compliant service. Bush and his wife have tirelessly courted the Reagans, routinely dispatching approving notes after public appearances by the President or his wife. Reagan himself held no such dark feelings about Bush and told...
