Gorbachev provided the clearest outline of his agenda in his 30-minute acceptance speech to the Central Committee the day he took office. He offered no strikingly new programs or proposals. His emphasis was on continuity. Said Gorbachev: "The strategic line, worked out at the 26th Party Congress (and) at the subsequent plenary meetings of the Central Committee with the vigorous participation of Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov and Konstantin Ustinovich Chernenko, has been and remains unchanged...
...were assured that their company would remain under local control; yet some jobs will probably be lost. Shareholders saw the price of their Phillips stock rise from less than $40 when the battle began to the mid-50s in December and close last week at 49 3/ 8. The clearest winners were the raiders. Centimillionaires already, they became richer still. Pickens and his partners walked away with an $89 million pretax profit, while Icahn will gain at least $50 million for 30 days of high- pressure maneuvering.

His music always seemed timeless anyhow, torn out of some imaginary territory in rock's persistent musical past, and it always seemed natural. It still does. Only it has all come very hard...
...press last week by Treasury Secretary Donald Regan in the form of a chart-studded, 262-page booklet (with two fat volumes still to come), puts more flesh than ever before on ideas that would-be tax reformers have been kicking around since the 1950s. It gives Americans their clearest idea yet of who might be helped and who hurt by a thoroughgoing rewrite of tax codes aimed at trading the elimination of most exemptions, deductions and preferences for deep slashes in tax rates...
