Reagan did not shy from the task. Indeed, he seemed to relish delivering the message. His greatest test, however, lies ahead. If his tax reform bill is any kind of true reform, it will be a chorus of nos for dozens, perhaps hundreds of entrenched special interests, few of whom are accustomed to the word...
...Chandler, an upstanding Connecticut Senator with presidential aspirations who gets caught up in a Soviet terrorist plot as well as in the net of a beautiful female aide. Cohen and Hart, anxious about the book's reception, have sent copies of the thriller to every Senator; most of them relish the depiction of the Senate, and some find certain aspects very familiar. Barry Goldwater told Cohen, "You call it fiction? I don't. I saw a little bit of me in there." For the two collaborators, life may indeed be imitating art.

But ten years after its moment of glory, the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam has little else to cheer about. Its army, the world's fourth largest...
...When the course is completed by a Japanese-Chinese consortium sometime next year, the cry of "Fore!" may be faintly heard at the nearby tomb of Emperor Xi Zong, who ruled from 1620 to 1627. Even Xi, who is remembered for turning over power to a eunuch, would undoubtedly relish the stately rhythms of the royal and ancient sport. His modern-day counterparts will surely appreciate a game in which handicaps allow players of different abilities to compete as equals...
