Unlike last year, when he had to win the support of liberal and moderate Republican "Gypsy Moths" for his tax and spending cuts, Reagan this time was busy wooing rebellious conservatives. He quickly turned around Lyn Nofziger, his former political aide, who had instigated a meeting with New York Republican Congressman Jack Kemp and various New Right ideologues to plot against the tax increase. But Reagan could not budge Kemp, whose political future seems tied to the fate of the supply-side economics that he has long championed. "Jack," the President told him last week, "I wish you were with...
...hours after he left the White House, Kemp was huddling with an unusual group of 30 conservative movers and shakers in a hired conference room in a building near Capitol Hill. A surprising participant: Lyn Nofziger, until last January chief White House political adviser and a staunch Reagan loyalist. There, too, were three other estranged Administration officials: former Assistant Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts, former Treasury Under Secretary Norman Ture and former Director of Policy Development Martin Anderson.

Fortunately the illusion improved slightly after Nofziger sausaged himself into the red-and-white threads of Santa Claus. He inherited the Santa job when he agreed to serve as honorary chairman of a benefit for Washington's Children's Hospital National Medical Center. "It was really tough sledding," said Nofziger...
...holding back." The letter, sent out in September by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, over the signature of its chairman, Senator Robert Packwood of Oregon, was intended to raise funds for G.O.P. senatorial candidates. But the hectoring, heavyhanded hard sell was too much for White House Political Director Lyn Nofziger, who axed the appeal and labeled it "the limit of fund-raising hyperbole." Packwood, who had not written the letter, left town without comment, but one committee spokesman confessed: "We'll be more cautious in using the President's name in the future...
