...expenditure of political capital that Presidents make only a few times in a four-year term, and only for matters they deem absolutely essential. Just five hours before the Senate was to vote last week on spending $1.5 billion for construction of 21 more MX missiles, Ronald Reagan rode by motorcade from the White House to Capitol Hill for a climactic personal appeal on behalf of the controversial weapon. Meeting with Republican Senators over lunch in the Mansfield Room, the President pulled out a $5 bill to pay for his meal and quipped to Majority Leader Bob Dole, "Include...
...already begun. One catch was Philadelphia Lawyer Kevin Rankin, who discussed his work for a local Mob family and boasted of being like the consigliere in The Godfather. His listener was an FBI undercover agent posing as a corrupt Miami lawyer, and Rankin is now serving a 54-year term for drug conspiracy.

Just two more...
With only Gerry Cooney for a hyphenated rival, Holmes is undefined in an Ali- Frazier, Leonard-Duran sense, though the Ken Norton fight was memorable to everyone who saw it. That started Holmes' term of office almost seven years ago, when Easton, Pa., threw the only parade. "I was so happy, I thought I was going to cry," he says. "But I kept things in, and I just waved. It wouldn't be right for the world heavyweight champion to be crying." Having seen Ali wander from Louisville to Chicago to Los Angeles, Holmes knew enough never to leave Easton...
