...Message. He has employed banter shrewdly, both to keep his audiences interested and to appear unruthless. In Tecumseh, Neb., the wind tore a scrap of paper from his hand. "That's my farm program," he said. "Give it back quickly." Of course, he has done more to raise farm prices than anyone else; just think, he says, of the milk, eggs and bread his children consume. Are his crowds packed with the young? "I'm going to lower the voting age to seven." What about all that money he's spending? He quotes from Jack: "I have a message from...
...their leading man's telegenic appeal, the Reagan people are putting the Californian on the screen just as often as the White Knight -and nearly as often as the White Tornado.

It is to revive Cleveland's long-stalled urban-renewal program (the nation's largest, with 6,060 acres involved and nothing completed), and set up expanded health and welfare facilities. So enthusiastic are residents about its prospects that 450,000 people have contributed-schoolchildren, factory workers, businessmen and a retired English professor who donated $1,000,000 worth of stocks.

...have rallied enough support by then to turn Dubcek out of office and replace him with Alois Indra, 47, a onetime railway worker who sees things Moscow's way. He may get an open boost from Kosygin if Dubcek is unwilling to put the brakes on his reform program...
