...influenced by the thought of Jesuit Philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. His son Andrew, 26, is one of his closest aides. For a politician, Cuomo displays unusual ambivalence, even anguish, about some issues. Yet he can show hard-edged political courage as well. He has twice vetoed bills to re-establish the death penalty, even though a large majority of New Yorkers say they want the electric chair switched on again...
...night long the scattered paratroopers worked to re-establish contact, snapping cricket noisemakers to locate each other. (Most of their radios had been lost, along with 60% of their other supplies.)

Philosophically, Feldstein agrees with Reagan and Regan that the spending side of the ledger is the place to reduce the budget deficit.

...reportedly gained the support of 32 delegations. Libya, Syria and South Yemen boycotted the closing session, at which the invitation to Egypt was announced, but most delegates seemed delighted. Said a Pakistani: "Sadat is dead, and there's a new man in power who would desperately like to re-establish Egypt's position within the Islamic community." In the meantime, Egyptian officials declared that they hoped to meet with Jordan and the P.L.O. to seek a new approach for negotiating the return of the occupied territories...
