Golon's biggest challenge, and only partial disappointment, was former Miami Dolphin Mercury Morris of Super Bowl VIII, now serving a 15-to-20-year prison sentence on drug charges in Florida. "To get approval for a picture session in the Dade County correctional institution, I had to phone the head of the Florida state department of corrections, the penitentiary superintendent and Morris' lawyer, many of them several times," she says. "Four hours before the shoot they decided we could take the pictures, but Morris couldn't wear the jersey." Though the prison permitted Photographer Red Morgan to cart...
...cuts in domestic spending. Most Senate Republicans feel that tangling with tax reform is less important than tackling the budget; as Dole well knows, addressing that mess requires military cuts and tax increases that will raise Reagan's ire. How Dole handles his task as ringmaster of this cantankerous session could determine whether the Republicans hold the Senate this fall and whether he can achieve the statesmanlike stature necessary for a credible candidacy...

The best hope for reducing Europe's continuing unemployment problem is through structural reforms, such as faster progress toward a genuine European common market and greater labor mobility. That would unleash more...
...been on the job for almost a month, but Philippine President Corazon Aquino is still proceeding carefully. Her deliberative approach was evident at the first full meeting of her Cabinet. The new President had been expected to take some forceful action during the session. But instead, after more than two hours, the only tangible result was that Aquino had formed three committees: one to study the question of declaring the Aquino administration a revolutionary government, another to tackle the reorganization of local government, and a third to chart new directions for the country's economy...
