You make it sound like child's play.... things were a little tense... back
to the bomb shelter.. for a while there.

I was thinking of both the Rescue Attempt and the inability of Carter to
free the hostages in a short period of time, but can't really blame him for
that.

Hey!  Iran/Contra caused heartburn, not nightmares!

Newt didn't cause any nightmares though... just his own.

Well Reagan caused many nightmares, true... I just picked up _Way Out There
In The Blue_ re: Reagan, Star Wars (SDI)  by Francis Fitzgerald.  Should be
interesting, esp. in the context of what "W" is trying to do.
