...Secretary of State Haig damaged his already shaky standing in the Government. The echoes of his losing effort two weeks ago to have himself rather than Bush named as foreign policy crisis manager had not died down when he took the podium in the White House press room to proclaim, in a shaky voice, "I am in control here." Said one State Department official who is friendly with Haig: "I thought it was Seven Days in May. Al didn't do it right, and it's going to hurt him." At week's end a new controversy...

Existence is your weather pic. You break big stories and powerful men, and big men and powerful stories. You are the powers that will be flexing young muscles; you are the turning points of the corridors of power; you dare to misspell the names of the famous and little-known alike; you valiantly rise above the blue books and problem sets...
