...staff often worked 16-hour days, Reagan usually started work at 9 a.m. and left for home promptly at 5:30 p.m. with a briefcase of homework. Recalls William Clark, who was Reagan's top aide: "He would often break into staff meetings at 5 p.m. and suggest that we all go home to our wives and children. Of course, we couldn...
...support his suggestion of the handgun's use for self-defense, Ferrara declares that "There are no statistics on...how many potential muggers, rapists, and murderers are frightened away when their victim shows his gun, and how many potential crimes are never attempted because the criminal suspects his victim has a gun."

As a reviewer and a former reviewee, I would respectfully suggest that your reviewing and editorial staff understand that honest criticism of unhealthy traits, when used properly, can be an enhancement of the academic society and the learning experience. --Charles Carner
