...budget is cut by $5 billion to $10 billion, the slash will hardly make a sliver's worth of difference in a projected deficit of $150 billion. The Defense Secretary has grown so protective of his budget domain that he adamantly refuses to heed requests from Congress to suggest parings. "I don't want to participate in a process of that kind," Weinberger says flatly. "I don't have cuts to propose...
...Reagan, by general agreement, is the best since F.D.R. Indeed, for a time in 1981, when he had Congress eating out of his hand, it seemed as though mastery of TV and one-on-one charm had become the very key to the presidency.

Directors typically use elaborate, crowded Victorian set designs to suggest the cramped nature of life in the Prozorov household...
...production with its anti-gravitational quality. More precisely, the near-total absence of set accomplishes this purpose. A mirrored floor and a red velvet curtain constitute the sole permanent scenery, and both seem oddly out of place. Chairs and a packing crate and blankets on the floor (to suggest beds) appear briefly, as do autumn leaves whose color is much too bright for the mood of the last...
