...idea under the Democratic Sun. Hence Jim Hunt's intensive efforts on the part of education in his home state of North Carolina are seen as one manifestation of the new philosophy, and James Fallow' 70 work on military reform comes under the classification as well.

On the day following the election, Kohl's staff conference began, as usual, at 10 a.m. on the second floor of Bonn's low-slung, glass-and-steel chancellery.
