Says Philadelphia Surgeon Dr. Everett Koop, an antiabortion activist whom Reagan plans to nominate as Surgeon General: "Nothing like it has separated our society since the days of slavery."

Instead of spending his summer telling voters why he wants to be President, he lit bonfires over abortion, tobacco, assault weapons, barked at American icons like Katie Couric and Dr. C.
