...show's headliner, Ronald Rea gan, was not due in town until Wednesday. Earlier in the week he planned to make campaign stops in Missouri, Illinois and Ohio. He was also putting the finishing touches on his Thursday-evening acceptance speech, an occasion that will mark the beginning of his last campaign for public office (see following story) and provide him with an opportunity to outline his vision of the Republican Party's future...
...views help determine how power is distributed across the Administration. It was Deaver, reinforced by Nancy Rea gan, who installed Baker as Chief of Staff. Later it was Deaver again, this time with Mrs. Reagan's delayed support, who worked on Reagan to get rid of Secretary of State Alexander Haig. It was also Deaver who had pushed for William Clark as National Security Adviser and then, realizing he had made a mistake, turned on him, once more with Nancy Reagan's approval. Today Clark will not speak to Deaver and acknowledges his greeting only when Reagan...

...squabbling among his advisers reinforced the President's deep distrust of economists. In a January radio address, he described economic forecasting as "far from a perfect science" and called economists "naysayers" and "doom criers." Though Rea gan was never a doctrinaire supply-sider who believed that deficits were nothing to get too concerned about, the President apparently refuses to believe that the budget gap will be as big and as harmful as Feldstein thinks...
Pressure to do just that is growing. House Speaker Tip O'Neill announced that he will meet with 14 Democratic Congressmen this week to reassess the House majority's attitude toward Rea gan's Lebanon policy. In September, the Democrats gave Reagan enough votes to extend the Marines' stay in Lebanon until April 1985. An aide to Republican Sena tor Howard Baker said that the Majority Leader also expects a bipartisan push for an early Marine pullout when the Congress reconvenes on Jan. 23. While Rea gan's own rhetoric about not yielding to terrorism...
