...open a dump at Hanford for nuclear wastes, including atomic garbage trucked in from other states. Said Ray: "There has to be some place to put it." McDermott favors expansion of nuclear power only "as a last resort," and wants to close the Hanford dump to all radioactive wastes except those from medical facilities...
Heller: What budget cuts has Reagan specified? None except the elimination of waste, extravagance, abuse and outright fraud. I call those the four horsemen of the budget apocalypse. Actually, they are tired old nags that have been trotted out by every presidential challenger. No more than $4 billion could be saved that way. Until Reagan gives us chapter and verse on what programs he will cut and by how much, his balanced-budget pledge is no more than a pious hope.

Industrial output has risen faster than in any country except Japan. He's shown political guts: no tax cuts in 1980 and only modest, business-oriented ones...
...Mole in a Maze of Mirrors Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, PBS (Mondays, beginning Sept. 29, 8 p.m. E.D.T.).

Now, in what should be the TV event of the season, the BBC proves that Britannia still rules the air waves.

Until now any big performing arts group-the local symphony, opera and ballet-had to use the War Memorial Opera House. They all played foreshortened seasons and, except for the San Francisco Opera, suffered artistically. Also, with few remaining open dates, major touring attractions often just stayed away. Now the city will surely become a main stop on the culture circuit...
