...increase to reduce what was already looming as a menacing deficit. To Reagan that was heresy. But he had to say something in his 1983 State of the Union address. During a round of golf in Palm Springs, Calif., while the President was on vacation, Secretary of State George Shultz, a trained economist, mentioned academic studies about the advantages of a flat tax (that is, everybody paying the same rate). Reagan, ever on the alert for a plausible way to cut tax rates further, inserted in his State of the Union , speech a 37-word passage pledging to "study ways...
...Moscow that the confusion is most telling. When Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Bessmertnykh held talks with Secretary of State George Shultz in Washington last month, he proposed a visit to Moscow by senior U.S. officials to explain the Administration's new position. By signaling the Soviet Union's hope that the U.S. would send a full delegation of top policymakers, the Soviets wanted to ensure that whatever was agreed to in Moscow would not be torpedoed back in Washington. In addition to Nitze and Perle, the delegation includes the top U.S. negotiators in Geneva and other experts...

That feature was promptly leaked and widely seen as a victory for Secretary of State George Shultz and other arms-control advocates: it opened the way to "delay" deployment of SDI as part of a grand compromise that would include deep cuts in offensive weapons...
...American negotiators who helped draft the treaty as well. It would in effect render the ABM treaty meaningless and open the way to a defensive arms race in space. That is just what the Pentagon wants and what the Soviets are determined to prevent. After & months of wrangling, Shultz persuaded Reagan to adopt a cumbersome compromise: the U.S. would claim that the Pentagon's "permissive" interpretation of the ABM treaty was correct but that it would nonetheless abide by the more "restrictive" reading that prohibits anything more than research on SDI. Uneasy with the Administration's position, Congress has demanded...
...judge in another New Jersey drug-testing case. "Instead," he continued, "all searches...must satisfy constitutional reasonableness standards." The San Fransisco law, which requires reasonable suspicion of a specific individual's substance abuse--and a concomitant threat to the safety of others--best satisfies such standards. As George Shultz, a former college dean, should know, those who have nothing to fear because they have nothing hide lack also one other thing. They have nothing to prove...
