...social issues, Reagan might not do much more than talk aggressively; he once accurately if indiscreetly called them "peripheral" to his main concerns of limiting taxes, spending and regulation and generally shrinking the size of Government. But advisers think that he will mount a much stronger attack on the growth of spending for such "entitlement" programs as Social Security and Medicare. As an example of what to expect, those who served on his staff in California point to a conference he held at the start of his second term as Governor: he demanded immediate action to shape a program that...
...Mount Bjelasnica, some 500 soldiers were packing the racecourses, stolidly enduring the 5�F cold and the eternal winds. It was a time to be philosophical; at least no one was shooting at them. In Sarajevo, members of a student volunteer brigade goofed and joked as they worked without undue haste at shoveling snow from the center of Kosevo Stadium. Mirjan Jarovije-vic, 15, a student at the Yaroslav Cernyi technical school, took the arrival of a visitor as a splendid opportunity to lean on his shovel and sneak a smoke.

The contributions, roughly $400,000, are far short of the funds needed to mount a major challenge to either Mondale or John Glenn, who have collected $9.35 million and $5.7 million, respectively. Jackson has fewer than a dozen paid staffers, compared with more than 160 each for Mondale and Glenn and about 45 for Gary Hart...
That inconsistency can be resolved by assigning the two imperatives, justice and forgiveness, to different functional levels, to that of Caesar and that of God. Justice is a social question, while forgiveness introduces a transcendent element: love. Weighing the injunction in the Sermon on the Mount to turn the other cheek, Martin Luther concluded that an individual ought to obey the command, but a government should not. There are two orders, that of the law and that of the Gospel. One forgives in one's heart, in the sight of God, as the Pope did, but the criminal still...
