...vacation loosens the knot of one's vocational identity. Why, dammit, says the refugee from middle management on his 13th day on the lake, why not just stay here all year? Set up as a fishing guide. Open a lodge. We'll take the savings and . . . The soul at odd moments (the third trout, the fourth beer) will make woozy rushes at the pipe dream. Like a gangster who has cooperated with the district attorney, we want a new name and a new career and a new house in a different city - and maybe a new nose from...
...breakfast with Reagan the next day, Prime Minister Thatcher, an ideological soul mate, positively glowed. "This has been a tremendously successful visit," she said.

At an open-air Mass, he told 300,000 cheerful but attentive listeners that, if unleashed, society's war machines today would make even the destruction of World War II pale in comparison. He spoke near the most renowned landmark in Coventry, England: the remnant of the bombed-out Anglican...
...President Reagan recommended some $2.3 billion in aid cuts for higher education and seemed to spell disaster for universities already strapped by inflation rates and dropping enrollments. Schools that could count on surviving--like Harvard, blessed with a plump endowment and the resources to raise more--expected painful soul-searching over whether they could maintain generous financial aid policies to guarantee equal access...
