...David L. Evans, a senior admissions officer involved with minority students, says the report was released at a bad time--just as a new administration entered Washington with what appeared to be a very conservative mandate. Blacks were already worried that Reagan might wipe out many of the existing social programs, and the Klitgaard report "gave some sanctity to this concern," Evans, who himself is Black, says...
...last month reported that 72% of state voters rated Brown's performance as "fair" or "poor." Some 60% criticized his go-slow approach to aerial spraying of the tiny golden-mawed Medfly, which thus far has afflicted only one commercial farm, but is spreading fast and could ultimately wipe out almost $1 billion of the state's $14.1 billion agribusiness income. Field also found Brown trailing the three most likely Republican nominees-Congressmen Paul N. McCloskey and Barry Goldwater Jr. and San Diego Mayor Pete Wilson-in the 1982 race for the Senate seat held by S.I. Hayakawa...

...battlefield nuclear weapons, and the intercontinental weapons. The NATO TNF will not be ready for deployment until 1983. Meanwhile, the Soviets are steadily deploying the SS-20, and have about 750 warheads-each 15 times or so Hiroshima strength-in place today. In 15 minutes, these weapons could wipe out most of the major military targets and much of the urban fabric of Western Europe...
