How else to appreciate the richness of the coffee mocha, the tang...
Harris and his boss, Bernard D. Rostker, may soon be making paper airplanes with all of their registration cards, however, if Ronald Reagan follows through on his campaign vow to eliminate registration--a program he has called "a meaningless gesture." Reagan has not clarified his plans for Selective Service since the election...
