Ronald Reagan was suffering from a sinus inflammation and joked about "feeling hollow." He was on an all-liquid diet prior to a routine medical examination. Nonetheless, the President was in good humor during an Oval Office conversation with TIME White House Correspondent Laurence I. Barrett the morning after victory in the Senate. Reagan's mood turned from mellow to flinty on only one subject: criticism of his foreign policy apparatus and recurrent rumors that he wants to get rid of either Secretary of State Alexander Haig, National Security Adviser Richard Allen, or both. Reagan moved forward...
...then Ronald Reagan went to work at what he does best. In a voice still raspy from a sinus inflammation he developed on his trip to the North-South summit at Cancun, the President told Zorinsky that Jordan's King Hussein was coming to Washington in a few days. Asked Reagan: ; "How can I convince foreign leaders that I'm in command when I can't sell five airplanes?" The Senator, who is Jewish and deeply committed to the security of Israel, said he had never been subjected to a "full-court press like this before...

It's not just the game shows, and it's not just those godawful pre fabricated housewives choosing between potatoes or stuffing or sinus drainer. It goes beyond that, somehow. There's always been a certain embarrassment about television, as if at its center were some yawning pit, some frivolous darkness upon which we can project the worst of our adolescent self-images...
...defense's success has been middle guard Kevin Czinger. He pronounces his name "Zinger," and if they listed it in Roget's, you would find it next to "tough." It seems that nothing--not a badly sprained ankle suffered in Yale's 35-7 humiliation of Dartmouth, not a sinus infection that spread into his lung before Yale clobbered Princeton (he played anyway), not his opponents' constant tendency to double-team him--can stop Kevin Czinger...
BILLY is like sinus trouble," a White House staffer said a few years ago. "It never goes away but it never hurts that much." "There's no Billygate in sight," added Time magazine, "but the President would be well-advised to tell his beer-swilling First Brother to shut up." Billygate--a bungled White House attempt to cover up Billy Carter's ties to Libya--has now flooded Washington, of course, and no amount of Allerest or Pabst Blue Ribbon will ease the pain...
