...cosmonauts have returned from long missions with bones, muscles and cardiovascular systems weakened by extended periods in zero gravity. But Romanenko claimed he could stand up, albeit shakily, shortly after his Soyuz capsule touched down in Soviet Kazakhstan on Dec. 29. Said he: "My muscles were strong enough to support me. As far as heart palpitations, sweating, that sort of thing -- I didn't feel anything of that sort. In fact, one day after returning to earth, I went for my first jog, for about 100 meters...
...turn of events has left Reagan feeling bruised. Once again, his determined support for the contras has produced congressional charges that his real agenda is a military victory at any cost. Pointing to recent Sandinista concessions, a senior White House official said last week, "I'm afraid the Administration has not done a good job in pointing out that we've been in the vanguard of making these proposals and urging these results."

Last week President Reagan saluted the school's success by paying a visit...
...educate alone. They used to be isolated, but now the problems are so magnified that it takes the family, it takes the school, it takes the community all working together to make education possible." Top educators emphasize that the commitment must be nationwide and backed by consistent Federal Government support. All the wonderful, well-meaning spot programs designed to help underachievers or trouble makers really amount to no more than Band-Aids applied to the lucky few. Fortunately, after proposing cuts in the national education budget in six of its seven years, the Reagan Administration has begun to appreciate...
