Until this election, AARP had not focused on presidential politics. But now the organization is launching an $8 million get-out-the-vote effort, running a $400,000 television ad campaign, sponsoring candidate debates in Iowa that are beamed by satellite to other states, holding workshops for activists and organizing mass mailings that will hit a million households by Election Day. In doing so, it has made the sanctity of Social Security and the expensive dream of Government-sponsored long-term health care top issues on the 1988 agenda...
Founded in 1958 mainly to provide insurance for retirees, AARP is now the nation's largest special-interest group. "Join the Association that's bigger than most countries," boasted a recent magazine ad. This elderly behemoth, nearly twice the size of the AFL-CIO, continues to grow by about 8,000 new dues payers a day. One out of nine Americans belongs, paying a $5 annual fee. AARP offers drug and travel discounts, runs the nation's largest group-health- insura nce program and a credit union. In addition, its savvy media operation includes Modern Maturity, the nation's third...
...cannot conceal my remorse," read the ad splashed across the front page of every daily newspaper in South Korea. Unusual though it was, the public apology by Opposition Leader Kim Young Sam, 60, was only the first to be offered by losers of South Korea's first free presidential election in 16 years.

By splitting the opposition vote, the two Kims...
...Adrian is now in law school," says Williams, who met Cronauer two weeks ago. "He looks like Judge Bork.") But around these few facts, the film spins a fantasy of irreverence and lost innocence. Mostly, it puts its star behind an Armed Forces Radio mike to devise some stratospheric ad libs. The monologues, the English lessons for Vietnamese students and Adrian's chat with a truckload of G.I.s were all improvised under the astute eye of Director Barry Levinson. "Barry lets you be free," Williams notes, "but not so free you're floundering. He sets up these little cones, like...
...quakingly vulnerable Lane (Mia Farrow). They include her mother (Elaine Stritch), a bruising emotional bully; her stepfather (Jack Warden), who is a noisy irrelevancy; a neighbor (Denholm Elliott) who expresses love by being socially obliging; a best friend (Dianne Wiest) who is obscurely tense; and Peter (Sam Waterston), the ad man who rented the guest cottage on the property and then failed in two obvious duties: he didn't finish the novel he intended to write there, and he didn't fall in love with his landlady...
