...last week-though, to be sure, it was all important. The Consumer Price Index actually went down in December by .3%, only its second monthly decline in more than 17 years (the other also occurred under Reagan, last March). For all of 1982, prices rose a mere 3.9%, the smallest increase since 1972, when wage and price controls were in effect. Since Reagan took office the rate of inflation has been reduced by more than two-thirds, an achievement the President will crow about, with justification, in the State of the Union speech...
...first computer books, like Adam Osborne's 1975 classic, Introduction to Microcomputers (Osborne/McGraw-Hill; $12.50), were aimed at computer hobbyists, explaining the inner workings of the hardware down to the smallest transistor. These were quickly followed by books of software programs, like the popular BASIC Computer Games (Workman; $7.95), which provide page after page of prewritten computer codes that the reader can copy and run on his own machine.

In Green Bay, Wis., where it is a little early in the year for shuddering, the loss is most telling and most personal. Green Bay (pop. 89,000) is the smallest true N.F.L. city, and the Packers are the property of 1,700 Wisconsin stockholders who kept the team from failing in the 1950s by buying stock at $25 a share. Mayor Samuel Halloin notes with pride and pain, "This is not a situation where a few wealthy individuals own the team." For every game canceled in Green Bay (four...
