...Movement and still its indefatigable voice. She has been jailed eight times-most recently as an illegal picketer for Cesar Chavez's United Farm Workers in 1973. (Many regard Chavez himself as a saint for his selfless, intensely spiritual devotion to his cause.) A Marxist in the '20s, she bore a daughter to her common-law husband, but became a celibate after converting to Catholicism. "The best thing to do with the best things in life," she says, "is to give them...
...Lucky Lady is very much a movie of the times-both now and then. It is a wisecracking, softhearted romantic adventure in which the major characters seem modeled on movie stars. With the shade of Jean Harlow peering over her cocked shoulder, Liza Minnelli plays a '20s rumrunner called Claire Dobie. Gene Hackman and Burt Reynolds, her partners in crime, are like Tracy and Gable, fast friends and occasional antagonists, both in love with Claire.

The last and most serious impeachment move, led by then House Minority Leader Gerald Ford, came in 1970, partly in retaliation for the rejection by mostly liberal Senators of Nixon's Supreme Court nominees, Clement Haynsworth...
...operating at only 75% of capacity -that even with that relatively healthy advance the economy will be operating well below optimum levels. The unemployment rate has risen to 4.4%, and could well go higher this winter. In Germany, that is high enough to raise grim memories of the '20s and '30s, when legions of jobless workers flocked to Fascism...
