...most immediate sign that Chairman Hua is in trouble was that he has not been seen in public for more than three weeks. Last week he even failed to turn up for a visit by a Greek Communist Party delegation; the group was received instead by Hu Yaobang. Hu, like Deng, is one of the few survivors of the Long March. Like Deng, too, the peasant-born Hu has been twice purged and twice rehabilitated. His resurgence was signaled last February when he was named head of a restored party secretariat, a post that gives him control of the party...

...presidential nicknames have dwindled in our century, from "The Hero of San Juan Hill," who sported 17, to "Tricky Dick," who needed but one. Either we are growing less fond of our leaders, or they are growing further away from us. In any case, it will be a healthy sign for Mr Reagan should the public start calling him Ronnie or even Sweet Eyes. TIME'S congressional correspondent Neil MacNeil recalls that when Mike DiSalle, then mayor of Toledo, escorted ex-King Michael of Yugoslavia in an open-car parade, the citizens called out to the mayor, "Hey, Mike...
