...That nasty recession, it went and lowered expectations. But who "did" the recession? Ah, well. The logic of the supply-side stream has slowed to a trickle; why not take another boat? Christen it while Congress is still worried about "old" problems like taxes and spending. Call it the New Federalism. All aboard! Nothing succeeds like "success"; nothing recedes like recess...
...President opened the Cabinet meeting by waving a newspaper dominated by speculative stories on his 1983 budget plans. The leaks must stop, he demanded. So once again a crackdown was ordered on an affliction that, particularly in times of trouble, seems to bedevil every Administration: the unending stream of information from inside the Government to the outside world.

...with lights as they came down the hill. Mud was running like molten lava." Surgeon Robert Rabkin had planned to spend Monday night in his Sausalito condominium, but decided at the last moment to attend a hospital meeting miles away. Leaving home he had a foretaste of disaster: the stream running through the property was a dark, muddy brown. When Rabkin returned seven hours later, his house and car were buried. Says he: "I'd be dead if I'd been at home. There was nothing left, just emptiness and a wall of mud." Around seaside Point Reyes...
