...dynamic mother of one returned to school and developed the courses in which she teaches that not all great things came from European minds. And keep an eye out for books by Luke Pontifell. He does not write them but prints them, beautifully, by hand. Last year his Thornwillow Press published Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s J.F.K. Remembered, and in July he will bring out a book by Walter Cronkite on the first human landing on the moon...

The initial response of striking employees to their prospective new boss held promise that Ueberroth...
...Bush's presence is diminishing, that of Cabinet officers and other Administration spokesmen rising. The White House now is the focus of Administration news only about half the time, compared with 72% in the first days. "So far," says Lichter, "the 'just folks' presidency is working. Bush gets less press but better press. Bush is far more visible to the press than he is to the public, just the opposite of Reagan, who was far more visible to the people than to the press...
