...strategy was under nagging and contradictory pressure on several other fronts last week. In Chicago, the country's Roman Catholic bishops adopted a pastoral letter that is sharply at odds with many elements of Reagan policy (see RELIGION). And earlier in the week, three U.S. Senators, including Democrat Sam Nunn of Georgia, sent the President a letter warning of their potential opposition to deployment of the controversial MX missile. A similar message came from nine members of the House, who were led by Albert Gore of Tennessee. The price of their acquiescence, the Congressmen wrote, was a more flexible...
While Spring Fling has been a fixture at Penn for over 10 years, it has become increasingly valuable as a respite from academic pressure, which both officials and students claim are more prevalent this year than ever before Dr. Sam Fager, director of Penn's student health and counseling services explains that this buildup of stress has become so noticeable recently that it prompted health officials to call for a two-day break from classes in late October to help students to "depressurize."

Says Houston Bureau Chief Sam Allis, who accompanied the Newstour: "I assumed nothing could touch the pure muscle of the refineries along the Houston Ship Channel, but the La Cangrejera complex dwarfs any single facility in Houston. And it isn't even the largest oil facility in Mexico." In Coatzacoalcos, the group met with...
...former White House correspondent, I was amused to read your description of Sam Donaldson [April 11] as "more interested in emotion, in the fates of careers and in the flow of power than in the substance of Government." Well, yes. That is the White House, isn't it? Isn't that what Hugh Sidey writes about each week, and isn't that what TIME had in mind in its recent cover story on how Reagan decides...
