Meese chairs most meetings of Reagan's top advisers. He jots down the often conflicting views in his ever present spiral notebook and later distills them into well-reasoned, easily digested, single-page memos or brief oral reports to Reagan, just as he has been doing since 1967, when he first joined the Governor's staff. Says Edward Thomas, Meese's chief aide: "He can hash out a complex issue until it can be stated as simply as A, B, C. It puts the Governor right at ease."

Dave Cody field goal, Buckley dropped back on second and seven on the Harvard 43 and lofted a perfect spiral to the right sideline that Cuccia leapt for and snagged for a 13-yd. gain...
