Democrats know, however, that Reagan has them on the defensive and are ready to join the game, even to turn it deftly against the President. House Speaker Tip O'Neill tipped off the strategy by declaring last week, "Any day the President wants to send up a balanced budget, I guarantee I will get it on the floor within 48 hours." Democratic Congressman James Jones of Oklahoma, chairman of the House Budget Committee, introduced a bill that would require the President to submit a balanced budget by Oct. 1 of each year, the start of the Government...
...book's weakness Rothenberg must be credited for hi general diligence in outlining without a lot of cheerleading the basic ideas and personalities of most of the new batch of Democratic leaders and intellectuals. But he does get carried away. "Forget about Walter Mondale, ignore John Glenn, put Tip O'Neil out of your mind." Rothenberg froths. "Disregard the Democratic Party as you've known it. Whatever its fortunes in 1984, the old liberalism has already begun a slow, inexorable fate. The future belongs to the neoliberals." The prognosis inaccuracy is overshadowed only by its stupidity as political advice...
...Madden, an unsuccessful writer approaching 40, grieves over the departure of Patty Lareine, the wealthy wife whom he loves and hates to distraction. It is November, and the tip of Cape Cod retains nothing of its summer weekend splendors: "Provincetown was as colorful then as St.-Tropez, and as dirty by Sunday evening as Coney Island."

He is conscious of his new status as an unaccompanied stag and approves...
...June 1984, the idea was gaining serious momentum. At least four Governors and a majority of state Democratic leaders endorsed the idea of a woman Vice President, and so did House Speaker Tip O'Neill, who added a name: Ferraro. Congresswomen Barbara Kennelly of Connecticut, Barbara Mikulski of Maryland and Mary Rose Oakar of Ohio also came out for Ferraro. Finally, on July 4, a delegation of 3 women leaders traveled to Mondale's Minnesota headquarters to make their case. The National Women's Political Caucus sent him a final compendium of arguments for a woman...
...convention lacked news value because it offered little suspense or surprise, the networks dropped all pretense of covering "gavel to gavel." Instead, they aired highlights for little more than two hours a night. CBS did not even carry addresses by the nation's highest-ranking Democrat, House Speaker Tip O'Neill, or by Congressman Morris Udall, who controversially urged the party to reconcile itself with former President Jimmy Carter. ABC, misled about what time Jesse Jackson would speak, cut away from Tuesday evening's session to broadcast 24 minutes of a rerun of the thriller series Hart...
