...TIME readers are so loyal or so laudatory, but those who write usually do so because something in the magazine has stirred their emotions. That was true more than ever in 1983. In all, 53,226 readers wrote to TIME last year, a 4% increase over 1982; four cover stories drew more than 1,000 letters apiece, a bench mark reached by only one 1982 story, on the rising fears about nuclear...

There are hugs and kisses for loyal friends and aides, a few acknowledgments of worthy opponents, but mostly he comes down harder on ex-officeholders than on powerful incumbents. New York Governor Mario Cuomo, who defeated Koch in the bitter 1982 Democratic gubernatorial primary, gets good grades for being tough on unions and wise in his staff appointments. Ronald Reagan ("He thinks like a studio executive") was treated shrewdly from the start. During the 1980 campaign, Koch distressed fellow...
