...reporting on that last fellow in the lineup. As part of its deal with Wolper, ABC agreed to provide the others with live coverage of the news portions of the festivities. But the networks, including CNN, disagreed on what constituted news. ABC offered to share its airing of Ronald Reagan's remarks and the lighting of the statue and its torch; the rest of the President's activities, including his presentation of the Medal of Liberty to a dozen famous naturalized citizens, would be carried live only...
...opening ceremony remarks made by Hodel and Chrysler Chairman Lee Iacocca, who heads the foundation that raised funds for the statue's restoration. ABC's competitors will also carry the speeches of Navy Secretary John Lehman and French President Francois Mitterrand, as well as reaction shots of Reagan after he lights the statue.

The hard fact is that the nation is coping with one of the most wrenching economic transitions since the turn of the century. Despite the Reagan Administration's upbeat talk of continuing economic growth and prosperity, workers in traditional American industries insist on singing the shutdown blues, sometimes in whole choirs. Four years after the official end of the last U.S. recession, American factories ranging from textile plants in North Carolina to machine-tool plants in Ohio...
