...author might be interested to know that we have several complaints from students about what they regard as the manipulative techniques of the Boston Church of Christ. We hope he would agree that the destructive activity of any religious organization both deserves and requires public scrutiny...
...hard to regard his mysterious behind-the-scenes maneuverings as anything short of mediation. Wright's attempts to edge the Sandinistas and contras closer to talks made the Reagan Administration uneasy, if not downright furious. "We don't think it's desirable for the U.S. to inject itself directly into these talks," said State Department Spokesman Charles Redman. Fitzwater was blunter. "Anytime you start seeing stories of independent plans," he said, "you have to start being a little nervous."

...Emperor's day, Bernardo Bertolucci (The Conformist, Last Tango in Paris) would surely not have obtained a passport to visit the Forbidden City, let alone explore its ruler's forbidden soul.

...Federal Government's most popular and effective programs. It has vastly improved the lives of America's elderly: a 65-year-old worker who retires this year could receive the top Social Security payment of $789 a month, or 53% of the average national wage. Moreover, retirees regard those monthly checks as their due, a return on their payroll-tax contributions to the Social Security trust fund over the years. They see Social Security as an insurance rather than a welfare program, and this attitude has made benefits virtually unassailable by cost cutters. To ensure that the program remains sacrosanct...
