...second book is about the men who came afterward, whose success would be judged by their ability to discern and live up to the credo of the right stuff. Among them were the Mercury astronauts. Goldman saw no dramatically convincing way to contrast the experience and outlook of the two groups, and left the test-flight veterans out of his screenplay...
...campaign, according to Bisnow, was actually two separate bids for the White House: one run by Bisnow, and one run by act New York political consultant David Garth. And judging from Bisnow's repetitive negative representations of Garth as the figure who crushed Anderson's once positive campaign outlook, it seems that the author has a personal interest in telling the "inside" story of Anderson's defeats. Anderson was actually more popular when Bisnow ran the campaign, according to polls, than after he was abruptly displaced by Garth...
Meanwhile, the outlook on inflation continues to be good. TIME'S board predicted that prices would rise 4.5% this year and 5.2% in 1984, far less than the 12.4% jump in 1980.

Another reason for optimism about inflation is the stability of oil prices. Said Heller: "There is no third oil shock anywhere in sight."

The Fed must chart a narrow course between providing too much money, which would fan inflation fears, and being too stingy, which might stall...
...eloquent argument and, at first glance, a credible one. But how can this sensitive, seemingly humane outlook be reconciled with the reality of the right to life movement and its social implications? Certainly it stands in painful contradiction to the violence peretrated by vehement anti-abortionists; brandishing bloody fetuses at Congressional hearings, invading or even firebombing abortion clinics, and the kidnapping of a couple who ran a clinic...
