...this was more than a run-of-the mill interview. Multiple copies of the letter circulated to the campaign's wise men. Unlike those in other organizations, the Bush staff members are not gluttons for publicity; they can afford to be discriminating. If they sniff a hatchet job, they steer clear. On his copy of the letter, Bush wrote, "I feel comfortable with Rather. Make sure this guy gets reply soon." Campaign Manager Lee Atwater was dead set against the interview. He was wary of Rather, but he was in the minority...
Club Casablanca may be moving to make way for a pair of office developments and a shop-lined "Brattle Walk," if the developers can steer past a dilatory city agency, two state offices, and a group of neighborhood activists who have already extracted some concessions...
...tour was an almost comical confrontation of the two superwives, each ; fighting to get her way with elaborate politesse. But as much as Nancy Reagan tugged at Raisa Gorbachev's elbow, trying to steer the diminutive (5 ft. 3 in.) Russian away from the cordoned-off journalists, she was outmaneuvered. A reporter asked Raisa whether she would be meeting ordinary Americans. Her flattering reply: "Meeting you, for me, is meeting Americans. This time our visit is too short. I hope next time will be longer." At one point she launched into a discussion of modern life...
...easy. For starters, the rear wheels of a four-wheel-steer car do not always turn in tandem with the front wheels. Depending on the speed of the car, the rear wheels may turn in the same direction (same-side steering) as the front wheels, or in the opposite direction (countersteering). Most of the new four-wheel-steer autos are capable of both countersteering and same-side steering. In sharp, slow-speed turns, countersteering can shave a full yard off a standard sedan's turning radius. At high speeds, however, countersteering can make a car dangerously unstable, while same-side...
...four-wheel-steer car, this high-speed sway can be damped or even eliminated through the use of same-side steering. When the rear wheels are turned at the same time and in the same direction as the front wheels, the back end turns with the front, and the cornering forces occur at both axles simultaneously. The car slides smoothly to the side without sway or fishtail...
