Aquino received some unsolicited television attention from Marcos' department of dirty video tricks. As the campaign wound down, presidential supporters put television footage of the challenger on the air on all Philippine stations. Each spot featured a female voice that sounded like Aquino's and showed the candidate in a montage of foreign war footage and other scenes of chaos. Despite Aquino's strenuous complaints, the offending spots were not removed...
...attempt to deny it to longtime Movement Hero Jack Kemp. The first tangible evidence that Bush's strategy may be paying off emerged Saturday, when the results of an annual poll of some 400 conservative true believers were announced. In a field of ten hypothetical G.O.P. presidential candidates, Bush wound up a clear and surprising first, with 36.3% of the vote.

Ever anxious to display his conservative credentials, Bush in his speech reminded delegates that he had supported Barry Goldwater's losing presidential...

A case can be made for Wotan as Kline's masterpiece; that extraordinarily forthright black rectangle, with...
Reagan promised to return to children their right to acknowledge God in the classroom (as if no prayer in public schools automatically expunged God from the minds of students the minute they enter classrooms.) He pledged similarly to heal "the single wound on the national conscience" by ending legalized abortion. Nothing was said to those children or those thousands of pregnant teenagers whose private concerns have no place in Reagan's public policy...
