...could be no speech without mentioning this. But you can't stop governing the nation because of a tragedy of this kind. So, yes, one will continue." Leaders on Capitol Hill, however, immediately sensed the incongruity of an upbeat national address at such a time. House Republican Leader Robert Michel telephoned Chief of Staff Donald Regan to urge a delay. Regan phoned House Speaker Tip O'Neill and Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole. Both strongly advised a postponement, and the White House agreed. Spokesman Larry Speakes announced that the address would wait a week, until this Tuesday...
...brewing in the ranks of Republican House members. They felt ignored by the White House, and many considered Rostenkowski's bill antibusiness and hence a damper on growth. Reagan moved last week to try to bring the G.O.P. into line, but he faced determined opposition from Minority Leader Robert Michel of Illinois and the rest of the House Republican leadership...

"Here we built a great American corporation. Then through this process the stock ended up in the hands of arbitragers, who forced...

...underworld of hidden meanings, exposing the rampant process of fabrication in which symbols are manipulated to guide mass ideology. In "Strategies of Lying," Umberto Eco performs a structural operation to demonstrate how Nixon's image-making speeches were variations on the same mythic elements composing Little Red Riding Hood. Michel de Certeau's "The Jabbering, of Social Life" reduces politics to a social organ polluting the environment with mindless dogma. The heralding of the Reagan Age is also blamed on a carefully-devised strategy of ignorance that is not without its humor...
