...nothing were done about spending and taxes. "We're dealing with perceptions here," explained one White House aide, "and the perception is that Reagan is bringing the deficit down after it was in danger of being wildly out of control." Nor did it hurt to have leak after leak portray the President as stubbornly resisting the tax increases being urged by his advisers...
...disclosed a private State Department memo discussing ways of putting pressure on the military regime in Poland, and the Washington Post has reported on a secret Pentagon study indicating that military costs over the next five years may be $750 billion more than now projected. Furor about this latter leak prompted Deputy Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci and some associates to volunteer to take lie-detector tests to show they were not culpable. Even as the White House was considering new ways of dealing with the problem, word was beginning to leak about another sensitive matter: the Administration's decision...

NASA engineers had even included a bypass around the oil filters just in case. Such clogging is usually caused by a leak in liquid hydrazine, the auxiliary power units' fuel.

Despite this hazard, prelaunch preparations did not include an oil change; the two jammed systems were running on the same oil used in last April's shuttle mission. Significantly, the oil in the one working system was fresh...
...hands-on healing that launched Roberts, now 63, to fame 30 years ago. But, insists Orthopedic Surgeon James Winslow, the facility's chief executive officer: "What we're doing here is not a substitute for good medicine. We'll stop the bleeding or patch the air leak in the lung and pray at the same time." No medical procedures are expressly forbidden, but abortions will not be performed for birth control. The facility will draw its patients primarily from Roberts' 3 million followers or "partners," half of whom donated all the money needed for construction...
