...prominent example of this generous and benign attitude is Maurice Stans, 73, the chief money raiser for Richard Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign. Stans had pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor counts during the post-Watergate investigations of political fund abuses. Since Reagan assumed office, Stans has been quietly lobbying among his friends on Capitol Hill and in the Administration for some kind of symbolic rehabilitation. It took months for Deputy Chief of Staff Michael Deaver to find an appropriately obscure post for Stans, but find one he eventually did. In early December Stans was named to the board...
...possesses the svelte image he feels that the Dreams need to captivate white audiences. He has also taken a new bedmate. Partly in lamentation, partly as anathema, Holliday sings And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going. In her roiling heartbroken fury, she makes it a roof raiser...
Altogether, Stockman found it profitable, as well as necessary, to scrub a four-day, 15-stop speaking tour of the Midwest and West, which he had scheduled to shore up his standing with Reagan loyalists.

...responsibility is supposed to be one of the keystones of Reaganomics, the Administration has hinted on several occasions in the past few weeks that it might consider a somewhat looser credit policy. Treasury Secretary Donald Regan first mentioned this possibility in an interview last month. At a California fund raiser, the President said that high interest rates were "hurting us in what we are trying to do." In an interview with FORTUNE magazine, the President called for "some loosening" of the money supply, while admitting that "we can't dictate...
