Hours after the White House had disclosed the numbers, Weinberger appeared before TV cameras in the Pentagon to spell out the dimensions of his victory. The Secretary announced that Reagan had "very wisely" decided on reductions "that are substantial but not crippling, as some of the proposals would have been." He then gave these details...
...grows impressively in the role; his features, soft and spoiled at the beginning, take on a he-manly glamour once he assumes his mission. Like most of the other cast members, MacLachlan delivers his speeches as incantations from an old, old testament. The actors seem hypnotized by the spell Lynch has woven around them-especially the lustrous Francesca Annis, as Paul's mother, who whispers her lines with the urgency of erotic revelation.

The President did not even spell out a program for his second term: it was enough to assert that "America is back, standing tall" and ask crowds repeatedly, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" They invariably roared back "Yes!" They did the same with their votes on Tuesday...
