Haves, Have-Nots
In 1964, my fellow students and I feared the election of (GOP presidential candidate) Barry Goldwater; we envisioned a greater gap between the haves and the have-nots, reckless military excursions and a huge decrease in social services.
Now that Ronald Reagan is President, all this has come to pass. Luckily, his term of office is almost over. Too bad there is no statesman waiting in the wings.
