...interview with TIME aboard his charter plane flying from Pittsburgh to Madison, Wis., during which he came close to falling asleep from exhaustion, Jackson insisted that he had just two "litmus-test" demands for Mondale or Hart to meet hi return for his support. They are a "peace" plank and a solid commitment to end the runoff-primary system that, in his view, blocks the election of many more black candidates to federal and state office. Neither demand, however, would be easy for the eventual Democratic nominee to meet. "Peace" in Jackson's terms includes his demand...
...brown bagging on threat of fines or imprisonment for up to a year. The order astonished the restaurateurs, many of whom had never heard of the rule. "We were stunned," said Gerald Holmes, co-owner of the Grove Street Café. Cynthia Walsh, co-owner of Summerhouse, a Madison Avenue restaurant, said she was losing customers and $1,000 a day by complying with the state directive. Grove Street Café and Summerhouse are just two of several hundred bring-your-own-bottle restaurants in New York City. Some of these establishments are ineligible to serve alcohol because they...
Allen invited me, on behalf of the President-elect, to attend a dinner at the Madison Hotel in Washington, where I met Reagan's aides Edwin Meese and James Baker and the President-elect's friend and adviser Senator Paul Laxalt of Nevada.

...days after my Hardingesque conversation at the Madison Hotel with Baker and Meese and Laxalt?in which Meese questioned me about whether I had anything to hide about Watergate?the Washington Post ran a series of articles that raised scurrilous questions about my service in the White House, my association with President Nixon and the circumstances of his resignation. By innuendo and more direct means, it was suggested that I had unjustly escaped public humiliation and hanging as a Watergate criminal, and that my appointment to the Cabinet might provide a good opportunity to correct this oversight. For the press...
...public squares and prayers in the public schools, why should they be forced to back down for a discomfited handful? Whose country is it anyway? And then there is the time-honored (and politically useful) association of the national identity with God. In spite of radicals like Jefferson and Madison, who erected the so-called wall of separation between church and state, the fact is that from the start the Government has been bound up with religion. In the majority's name are there Army chaplains, House and Senate chaplains, prayers for Congress. Not even the Supreme Court meets...
