I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for.

IIRC it was RWR who said that "half a loaf is better than none." He meant that in a negotiation sense.

That is a very pragmatic and useful philosophy.

Yep. I fear that President Reagan would be run out of FR by many on this thread because he was not ideologically pure enough, and he dared to work with the other side... Compromise seems to be a dirty word around here!
