Reagan walked a bit gingerly but waved a blue Navy cap jauntily as he said goodbye to the hospital doctors and nurses. Looking surprisingly fit and fully at ease in blue slacks and an open-necked shirt, the President boarded a Marine helicopter with Nancy for the 15-minute flight to the White House lawn, where some 2,000 well-wishers awaited him. At the White House, the Marine jazz band serenaded the smiling couple as hundreds of gaily colored balloons were released. Reagan's high spirits were also reflected in his Saturday radio broadcast, taped at the hospital...
Harold M. Agnew's elbows make a pair of wings for his head, on top of which his hands fold in a clasp. The elbows are covered by suede patches sewn onto a brown tweed jacket.

That is putting it mildly. Tracey Lewis, 28, admits she is obsessed by polo. "I like most being wide open down the field," she exclaims, "feeling my shirt rippling, going 40 m.p.h., going to goal on my best mare. It's just a feeling like you're flying. This totally turns me on." Lewis, who owns a Beverly Hills p.r. firm, is one of the growing number of women in the predominantly male sport.
