Last week's bravura performance by Lance took some of the political pressure off Carter. By neatly disposing of several of the charges against him and making others appear more complex and murky than his accusers had suggested, Lance showed that a reasonable man-like Carter-might not be sure of what, if anything, he had done wrong. But for a President who sets such high standards for morality and frugality, who insists that members of his Administration must be above suspicion, that seemed hardly enough...
...unanimously approved Lance's nomination in January, reaffirmed that decision last July, and would now reverse itself only if a majority could be persuaded that Lance had deceived them in their initial, and admittedly perfunctory, appraisal of his fitness for office. Not only did any such evidence appear to be shaky, but it was certain that the committee could not legally revoke its confirmation. Apparently, at the worst, the committee could render a critical evaluation of Lance's highflying banking practices and thereby strengthen the resignation demands.

Farm operators, in contrast, appear relatively pleased with the plan. They were distinctly relieved that Carter turned aside demands for tough identity requirements for illegals applying for work permits, and agreed that Social Security cards could suffice to establish an applicant's eligibility. As both farmers and aliens are well aware, Carter's soft stand on documentation would make the new rules tough to enforce. A busy black-market trade in old rent receipts and utility bills has already sprung up in California as illegals seek means to prove they were in the U.S. before 1970-and thus...
Cairo insisted that Egypt was still cholera free, and took the precaution of checking travelers from affected countries. Hundreds who did not have up-to-date vaccination certificates were quarantined; cholera can incubate in the body for as long as five days before symptoms appear. Incoming planes were fumigated as soon as they landed. The health ministry launched a massive campaign to inoculate 13 million Egyptians. Authorities burned every garbage heap they could find in Cairo and Alexandria...
...Things are not always as they appear to be", is the theme that flirts with the audience throughout this fast-paced and cynical musical vaudeville. The viewer is immediately conned into believing the show lacks a consistent plot and has few lessons to be learned. Since things are not always as they appear to be, it is not until the end that we realize the play had a message which we were part of all along and like the women portrayed in Chicago, the come-on is such a tease we are hardly satisfied by the finale...
