...workaholic, Stockman had averaged about five hours of sleep a night during the five days prior to the President's speech-a time, he said, "when things began to get interesting." Among other things, he had chaired a meeting of the Cabinet in Reagan's absence, a symbol of the President's intense trust in his judgment on economic matters. One congressional Democrat describes him as being "like Svengali, like Rasputin to the Tsar." But others are awed by his incisive intelligence and command of numbers.

...etchings and lithographs often depicted scenes of social injustice or corruption; of cancer; in New York City. In 1949, asked to create a poster for Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, Hirsch produced the poignant drawing of a stooped Willy Loman that became famous worldwide as a symbol of the play...

Bok was out of town last week and could not be reached for comment, but in his Commencement Day speech last June he said that over the past...
...Mujahedin Run Government. We would not have political prisons and executions. All political parties could operate freely. The government we want is national, progressive, democratic and Islamic. The Shah was a symbol of physical power, but he was a dictator and he fell. Khomeini is the symbol of spiritual power, but he too is a dictator and he is falling. If I wanted to govern this country and ignored these recent examples, then, even with the physical power of the Shah and the spiritual power of Khomeini, I would be defeated...
