The news last week was that Author Edmund Morris, 45, who won a 1980 Pulitzer Prize for The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, will have the privilege of being Ronald Reagan's shadow for the rest of his term.

In the wake of that discovery, Arizona Senator Dennis DeConcini last week ordered up a survey of all the agencies to determine the cost of making Government transmissions safe from snoopers...
