...family there's going to be a little friction over something as the kids go through adolescence," says the youngest Reagan. "Nothing is nirvana. But the recent stories have been exaggerated. Being close-knit has become almost a physical impossibility, since we're so spread out. We haven't had big sit-downs over meat and potatoes. It hasn't been the Waltons or anything.

...party's perplexing silence on the exile of scientist Andrei Sakharov has alienated academics and intellectuals. Not since 1956, when Khrushchev's denunciation of Stalin threw the PCF and its hard line Stalinism into a blender, has the party experienced such internal dissent. As the party splits, a tight-knit nucleus of traditional militants assumes control, ignoring the petitions of frustrated members...
