"In the hopeful President Reagan's in-box lay the increased defense budget's airplanes, tanks and robots. However, out go on the other hand the middle class, farmers, students and the most poor groups. And on the other side of the desk sits as usual the candy jar with jelly beans. [Drawing by Branch for the San Antonio Express News]." 1986.

"EWK / The World's Greats. Deng Xiaoping, born 1902, the motor in China's modernization, the little, little man that has turned upside down the big, big country's revolutionary terms. He was purged during the Cultural Revolution but made a comeback, twice just to be sure. Only holds the modest title of Vice Premier but is one of the greatest changers of society in history." 1986.
