For five years Bush has acted as an unabashed cheerleader for Reagan's programs in an effort to shed the moderate taint that can destroy a Republican hopeful these days. Nevertheless, the loyal Vice President is likely to face a strong challenge on the right, notably from New York Congressman Jack Kemp, who missed the dinner...
...delegates attending the nominating convention of the ruling New Society Movement (K.B.L.) had assembled at the Manila Hotel to submit the party's nominations for the presidency.

The entire cast, especially Quinn, is solid. Plummer, like the play, is unforgettable...
...either event, there are other good reasons for accepting the stock. First and foremost, McKinney's ulterior motives notwithstanding, the offer was made in good faith by a loyal alumnus. Secondly, it would not have cost Harvard a dime. Lastly, by McKinney's admittedly wishful projection, the stock would have net Harvard half-a-million dollars annually by 1990. Whatever the exact figures, if Cannabis gets off the ground, it is bound to be a strong competitor in a $50 million market...
