...this at a Government launch site." The site was, in fact, on a 19,000-acre ranch lent by Oil Mogul Toddie Lee Wynne, 85, one of SSI's main financial angels, who died a few hours before liftoff. With the, countdown under way, a launching-pad engineer wandered out to Conestoga I and, with a felt-tipped pen, scribbled on the rocket, GOD BLESS YOU, TODDIE LEE WYNNE. You can't do that at a Government launch site either...
...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.

In some cases, his clever defenses advanced civil liberties; in others, they freed people who should be behind bars...
...enchanting as E.T., no one can complain. But a prodigiously gifted film maker like Spielberg might hold even his youthful fans if he were to expand his range and make other kinds of movies-as Lucas and John Carpenter and Brian De Palma might. The stray adventurous mogul might be persuaded to finance their ventures into the adult world. And the baby-boom audience, just now approaching early middle age, might follow them. All this could happen tomorrow, and nobody could guarantee that the movie industry would break another box-office record. But the eager faces in those long summer...
