...Mercer Street, some five blocks away, where Einstein lived, Hulit took with him a foot measurer and a few pairs of shoes. Dukas admitted the shoe man to the foyer of the smallish two-story house.

...ancient texts in Jerusalem. Martini, a brilliant Jesuit scholar and inarguably holy figure, was once the great white-haired hope of the progressives for a successor to John Paul.

(Kawamoto's criticism of The Day After was that the survivors would never have been that alert.) Other new films and television movies like Threads have graphically shown devastated cities and families, bodies crushed by buildings, the disintegration...
...White House meeting last week. "How can the country go forward without a sound economic plan?" he asked. Reagan exhorted the legislators to settle their differences before Aug. 2, when Congress takes a month-long recess. At the end of the hour-long talk, House Speaker Tip O'Neill shook Reagan's hand and said, "Mr. President, you look good." Reagan shot back, "I'll feel better when I get a budget...
