When Angelo wanted to follow Prime Minister James Callaghan's Labor Party campaign for a while, she would trade places with TIME's men on the bus: veteran Correspondents Erik Amfitheatrof, Frank Melville and Arthur White. Amfitheatrof, who covered the 1976 Italian general election as a TIME correspondent in Rome and has reported on the sometimes unruly politics of Africa and the Mediterranean, was delighted to find this campaign unmistakably British. He recalls watching Callaghan at a whistlestop, a cup of tea in his hand, plunging into the crowd and politely imploring them: "Forgive me for having...
...party structure as well as time and space restrictions on national candidates. Joe McGinnis's The Selling of the President 1968, a case study of media merchandising, provided a much more chilling and prophetic account of Richard Nixon's packaging than all of Halberstam's hindsighted anecdotes put together. Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.'s yin/yang books--1000 Days and The Imperial Presidency--described the consolidation of power in the Executive Office these last 40 years with much more historical veracity than Halberstam summons up.

Scores of celebrities, including TV Star Robin Williams, Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Falsetto Tiny Tim and Actresses Claudette Colbert, Phyllis Newman, Lauren Bacall and Brooke Shields were on hand for a $24-a-seat variety show at the Shubert theater. Maureen Stapleton sang Gilbert and Sullivan's "The policeman's lot is not a happy one." Angela Lansbury borrowed a song from the musical Sweeney Todd, singing for the cops, No One Will Harm You. Those who paid $96-the price of one bulletproof...
...Runaways, is a completely unmannered actress who cuts to the guts of every scene; she is a major find. Though Bernard has too many punch lines and must speak in a second language, he rises to Lane's level by the end. The adults are just as good. Arthur Hill plays the same understanding stepfather he did in The Champ, but here he has the chance to bring the character to life. Sally Kellerman, as Lane's snotty mom, has her first comic field day since...
