Next, Reagan got a tumultuous welcome in New Hampshire, where he drew 48% of the primary vote in 1976. Some 3,500 cheering people jammed the hall of a National Guard armory in Manchester, while some 2,000 more listened from smaller adjoining rooms. He drew standing applause when he declared, "We must shelve SALT II." While refraining from suggesting what Carter ought to do about the hostage crisis in Iran, he stirred another ovation by proclaiming, "It is tune to stop worrying whether someone likes us and decide we are going to be respected in the world...
...John wasted no time, hitting Jellison with a 35-yard pass. The swift Jellison then turned and sped 30 yards for the touchdown. Minutes later he took the ball on a sweep and scored again from the Harvard 40. The St. John to Jellison connection carried the younger smaller squad to a 22-11 victory...
...campaign blitz of seven cities, extending from Manchester, N.H., to Charleston, S.C. He drew large crowds, including the same kind of squealers, jumpers and touchers who used to flock to Jack.

Two weeks ago, Klansmen and their sympathizers attacked an anti-Klan rally in Greensboro, N.C., shooting to death four white men and a black woman, all of them members of the Communist Workers Party, formerly known as the Workers Viewpoint Organization...
...deprecation seems only partly justified. If he had written nothing but his half a dozen best books, and none of his Post stories, he might have been spared a few swipes from reviewers, but his reputation now would not be much different, and his estate would have been far smaller. He wrote one superb and unimprovable book, Apley, several good ones (So Little Time, Point of No Return) and quite a few that were glib, unimportant, and exceedingly popular. He never had to teach freshman English or write book reviews, and he lived where he pleased. When he was middle...
