Welfare chief Schweiker photographed in fancy garb sparks criticism
Washington welfare secretary Richard Schweiker faces flak from columnists and a liberal congresswoman for posing in white tie and tails at a lavish banquet table to publicize a $150 ticket Juvenile Diabetes Foundation ball. The photo, shot in a mansion setting, drew charges of elitism amid welfare cuts. Lillian Carter says life in the White House is boring and mocks Nancy Reagan, in McCall’s October issue, noting she disliked the White House though it is beautiful. She recalls learning of Reagan’s election loss and wishes now for sleep after her reaction.
