...extra 2%, on top of the 11.7% increase already moving toward enactment. Tower also advocated an increase in military outlays of 10% a year after 1981, adjusted for inflation, just about double what Carter had planned. Reagan may accept that goal, but his economic advisers are likely to quarrel with Tower's idea that beefing up U.S. military power should have priority over balancing the budget...
With the aid of Henry Purcell's rich-textured Fairy Queen score, Epstein underscores the conflicts in Shakespeare's text. His lovers are violent hotbloods; his fairies are insect-like nature sprites, inhuman and unsettling; his "rude mechanicals" quarrel with earnestness and acrobatic precision in their stage business.

Templeman gave the early records an uncluttered, unaffected...
...Jersey state legislature. But ignoring the possible hazards of the "Youngest President Syndrome," he doesn't count out higher aspirations. Modestly declining to be specific, he merely states, "I'd just like to go as far as I can." All things considered, even Chase Untermeyer probably wouldn't quarrel with his goal...
