...This sort of rhetoric is turning on the conservative rank-and-file Republicans, who traditionally play an outsize role in determining the party's presidential standardbearer. Three weeks ago, the silver-haired Connally made a stem-winding speech to 600 Midwestern Republican leaders at a convention in Indianapolis. A subsequent poll of 254 delegates showed that 29% favored Connally for the nomination, while Reagan trailed with 21%.

...reason that so many are willing is that for many mainlanders the gloss has gone off some once fashionable Caribbean and Mexican resorts. The dollar is worth a dollar, almost.

'Sort of.' " "They don't ever know either how to jail or release you properly," concludes Bukovsky...
Working as an associate at the Wall Street law firm of Bass and Marshall is a curious sort of servitude. The associates are liveried in Brooks Brothers suits, their glass-box sweatshop has Oriental rugs, and the minimum wage is $27,000 a year. If they slave night and day for eight years, they may ascend to partnership and gain the privilege of exploiting other associates. Along the way, their brains turn into stuffed briefcases, and their souls are lost to mean ambition...
