Reagan

he said. "It used to be called the American dream. This administration is putting the American dream beyond the reach of average people."
O 'Nellie said Reagan's denial of responsibility for unemployment revealed his political strategy.
"Last year it was promises, this year it will be allibis," he said.
Vermont's Republican Gov. Richard Snelling, head of the National Governors Association, described Reagan's swap proposal as among the most significant in more than a century. But he also said little was known about its financing so that it had almost equal likelihood of remarkably strengthening the 50 states as leading to serious and widespread incapacity.
David Stockman, budget director, discussed
the "new federalism" with reporters and said that the only legislation Congress would need to pass to implement the plan would be an "enabling act," allowing states to withdraw from federal categorical grants, and a bill to create "a grassroots trust fund."
The legislative approach paralleled the one Reagan used successfully last year to force a single yes- or no-vote on his massive budget cut program.
Money from the trust fund would come from present federal excise taxes such as those on gasoline and alcohol and the windfall profits tax on decontrolled oil.
Stockman said the windfall tax would be "coincidentally" phased out in 1991, the same year the trust fund would dry up and states would lose money. But for the programs that they decide to continue.
Dog fight
include a punishment for intending to stage a dogfight.

The purpose behind training the dogs is simply money. The entrance费 for a big fight is $35, McClaig said. And anywhere from 50 to 200 people are there and most popular in the deep South and Midwest.
"Sometimes as much as $40,000 is bet on one fight," McCaig said. "In a recent raid in Arkansas police confiscated $500,000 in cash, as well as guns and drugs."
Duncan said a secondary purpose behind his bill was to turn up criminal activity other than drug offenses.
"This bill would provide an opportunity for a lot of unlawful stuff in the state to be revealed," he said. "But my primary purpose is to prevent the abuse of animals."
Micro
"These functions are the basic ingredients of reconstructive surgery."
From page 1
In the case of severed appendages, such as fingers, surgeons use microsurgey techniques to reconnect blood vessels from the separated end to the original base.
This reconnection of blood vessels restarts the blood supply, while the reconnection of nerves provides feeling to the area, said Steve Botens, a technical assistant at the Sutherland Center.
"Without nerves, we would have people putting fingers into fires without feeling anything." Botens said. "The nerves provide a protective sensation."
The type of suture used in all types of microsurgery, a 10-0 nylon type, is 22 microns in diameter, far smaller than a human hair, he said.
Using a pair of jeweler's forceps with the aid of a clinical microscope, Botts demonstrated the techniques used by surgeons in the reconnection of vessels and nerves.
The test victim, a 2-by-2 inch square of rubber balloon, had been split through the middle by a jagged cut and was reconnected by Botens.
"I have practiced so much that I can attach the embrow of George Washington to a dollar bill," she added.
Besides the actual reconective operations, the Med Center sponsors a training program for surgeons who want to learn the techniques of using smaller tools and working through a microscope.
Twelve surgeons have completed the two-week course and two more are waiting to begin, he said.
