...every six new refugees have failed to find employment. Says Lucas Perez, 32, a welder who came to the U.S. a month ago: "I've gone through two pairs of shoes looking for work. There is none."

...Dreyfus, a Ph.D. in communications: "I'd give him an A if he were in my class." That was the mark generally awarded Reagan, even on a bipartisan basis. Said Theodore Sorensen, who helped draft John Kennedy's 1960 Inaugural Address: "Reagan tried to make the tent he was constructing large enough to hold a significant portion of the population, and I think he did it." Iowa's G.O.P. Governor Robert Ray, who has been cool to Reagan in the past, called the address "dynamite. He touched the soul of America...
