Let's get it right, T.C.  Figures cited for desired increases in the defense
budget are nearly always adjusted for inflation.  In all the previous
articles which I've seen in this newgroup lately, the figures cited have been
adjusted in the usual manner.  Reagan wants a much steeper increase in spending
than Mondale (which is hardly surprising, considering the adventures he'll
embark upon if and when he's a lame duck).
