...next year (Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Louisiana). Last Friday 1,000 Republicans paid $50 a plate to hear her address a dinner in Des Moines; counting others who put up $1,000 each to meet her at a private reception, her appearances raised more than $100,000. Her speech sounded like a campaign rouser; Democrats, she said, "can't get elected unless things get worse -- and things won't get worse unless they get elected." She drew a standing ovation, and Iowa Governor Terry Branstad opined, "I think she would be a very attractive national candidate...
Reagan's barnstorming for a fundamental change in taxation has helped him regain the momentum his Administration seemed to have lost earlier this year. His pollster, Richard Wirthlin, recorded a 71% approval rating for the President's tax-reform speech (the highest since his February 1981 call for large budget and tax cuts), and a New York Times/CBS News poll reported last week that his approval rating had gone up three points since...
With a Democratic-dominated House and a Republican-controlled Senate, tax reform cannot succeed without the support of both parties. In the afterglow of Reagan's speech, there were ritual promises of bipartisanship, but old rivalries and resentments are sure to resurface.

...Supreme Court held that this kind of case-specific solicitation, though forbidden by the Ohio bar's long-standing ethical tenets, is "commercial speech" protected by the First Amendment. Advertisements, wrote Justice Byron White for the majority, are not comparable to face-to-face solicitation of clients, which can be prohibited because it is "rife with possibilities for overreaching . . . and outright fraud." The court rejected the contention that ads like Zauderer's will "stir up litigation" unnecessarily. "That our citizens have access to their civil courts is not an evil to be regretted," said White. "The state is not entitled...
