By the end of a tumultuous week, it was clear that the last-gasp Reagan strategy had failed. He had managed to hang on to his most conservative delegates, despite their screams of pain. But he had not achieved the ultimate goal of the whole operation: to shake loose wavering Ford delegates in the Northeast...

When I'm in that particular pain and despair I don't have any hope, any sense of the morning. I want...
...though, the results are not quite what was planned. The Public Broadcasting Service's soup-to-nuts (or, more accurately, lobster-to-mints) coverage of last week's White House dinner for Queen Elizabeth allowed the average American a singular opportunity to feel for himself the exquisite pain of the pointless state occasion, an agony of boredom heretofore reserved for the powerful and the well born.
