...Reagan for 1984? Because of his age, 72, which is the same as mine. Already I have noticed that the President often contradicts himself. I have also observed signs of age occurring over and over again in others of my years: poor memory, incessant talking, stubbornness, intolerance of young people's ideas, slowness, and the habit of comparing all events with what happened 50 years ago. I swore it would not happen to me and retired at 69. Reagan's age is a factor, and should not be ignored...
Rich Hassman, a computer-systems manager in the waste-management group, is taking apart some Unistrut metal framing with a socket wrench. "Right now," he says, "I'm thinking of using this as a base for a water bed. I like to make things. A friend of mine is building a 35-ft. steel ketch, and he turned me on to metal welding.

Next came their current hit, Say Say Say, a track on McCartney's new album, Pipes of Peace. With so much talent on hand, keeping harmony on the set was, well...
...this decision been mine alone to make," Marshall Field said, "I probably would not have taken this action." For his part, Murdoch promises that, "basically, [1] neither plan nor intend any substantial changes in the newspaper." Murdoch may take Wingo into the Midwest; he may add splashier news coverage and a few pictures of scantily-clad women. But possible apprehension over Murdoch's latest move overlooks several facts about contemporary American journalism, Murdoch's track record, and the Sun-Times itself. A feeling that this Australian may not be that bad after all centers on a simple question. Which came...
