...felt free earlier to reveal the letter's existence because it was marked PRIVATE AND STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. Said Brittan: "I had no intention of deceiving the House. If it is thought in any way that I misled the House, I apologize unreservedly." His confession brought opposition choruses of "Resign!" and "Withdraw...
Last week the Prime Minister won over the Likud ministers by implicitly threatening to resign and thus bring down the government. His secret weapon: the Likud's knowledge that it must not cause too much trouble between now and October, when Peres is due to exchange jobs with Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir, the Likud leader.

Manes' world swiftly became more lonely and hostile. Koch, feeling betrayed by his friend, called Manes "a crook" and urged him to resign.

The mystery in this account is why Stockman did not lay his fears of impending financial disaster squarely on the President's desk. Or why, if others thwarted his honest intentions, he did not resign. His self-exoneration--describing how he was flitting here and there in righteous dismay, confronting all those mindless Californians around Reagan, struggling to "work from within" to avert the catastrophe he so clearly saw before him--does not go down well. He confesses to being too enamored of power...
