Mandate mania and Boll Weevils in national discourse
A reader critiques the push for sweeping Reagan era policies as a misread mandate, cites Pomper's analysis showing public opinion did not fully endorse the president, and laments Democratic splits led by Bell Weevils while urging practical energy choices and caution about nuclear power. The letter also notes local issues including Maryvale park and horseshoe courts, and questions the role of a so-called legend in a local sports tournament.
