He did not see the Stockman story as a political blockbuster, rather more as a "good piece of reporting that explains something about how this budget business works that I have not seen explained in quite the same...

In women's golf, last year's top moneymaker was Kathy Whitworth, with $43,500; in men's golf, 58 men made more than that, and Jack Nicklaus topped everybody with $244,490.
