With all his enthusiasm for the balanced budget, Weinberger may be in for some frustrating times at HEW.

...sedation, when he sees Chris' clothes being carried out of the hospital in a clear plastic bag. Logan breaks out, vowing vengeance on the officials and the doctors who have lied to him. He blows up the plant where the chemical was manufactured, then, although slowed by the poison, heads for the Army base to take the same kind of reprisal there...
