...Valli realized he was losing his hearing because of otosclerosis, a rare inner-ear ailment. One doctor told him that he would go completely deaf. At about the same time, sloppy management of the Four Seasons' business affairs plunged the group some $2 million in debt.

If the Iran-contra scandal has left many Americans uneasy about Reagan's grip on his job, last week's performance demonstrated that the still popular President retains at least some of his powers. But if he is to recoup, he will have to resist his tendency to rely on theatrics rather than hard work. As the President and the First Lady departed for Camp David last week, Reagan cheerfully bantered with a group of young supporters. Talking about his agenda for the next two years, he recalled...
