...William Clark, Treasury Secretary Donald Regan and Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger-want to continue pressing a hard line against Communism and giving free rein to supply-side economics. The Pragmatists-White House Chief of Staff James A. Baker, Deputy Chief Michael Deaver, Presidential Aide Richard Darman, Budget Director David Stockman and Secretary of State George Shultz-see the top priorities as reducing the deficit and reaching an arms-control accord with the Soviets...

Another faction, known as the "pragmatists" and led by Budget Director David Stockman, has counseled Reagan to keep open all options, including a tax increase. The pragmatists fear that the strength of the economy may convince the President that the supply-siders are right.
