...author might be interested to know that we have several complaints from students about what they regard as the manipulative techniques of the Boston Church of Christ. We hope he would agree that the destructive activity of any religious organization both deserves and requires public scrutiny...
...hard to regard his mysterious behind-the-scenes maneuverings as anything short of mediation. Wright's attempts to edge the Sandinistas and contras closer to talks made the Reagan Administration uneasy, if not downright furious. "We don't think it's desirable for the U.S. to inject itself directly into these talks," said State Department Spokesman Charles Redman. Fitzwater was blunter. "Anytime you start seeing stories of independent plans," he said, "you have to start being a little nervous." Others in Washington charged that Wright's horse trading usurped Reagan's foreign policy authority. Said Republican Senator John McCain...

It has vastly improved the lives of America's elderly: a 65-year-old worker who retires this year could receive the top Social Security payment of $789 a month, or 53% of the average national wage.

The only difference is that theprocess, as he says in his 1986 article, can nolonger rely on a cooperative 'reformist' nationalgovernment...
Taking lessons in stoicism from Rookie Manager Tom Kelly, Minnesota was inclined to regard it not as a crash but as a correction. From the July All- Star Game to the October playoffs, Gary Gaetti, Kent Hrbek and Kirby Puckett brought all their muscle to bear, and still the Twins won just nine away games. For that matter, the last time the franchise managed a World Series victory on the road, the Washington Senators won it and Walter Johnson pitched it. Naturally, the people of St. Louis cannot imagine a more genial place than Busch Stadium, though their perspective...
