...chosen by O'Neill to hold the all-star special energy committee together is Ohio's Thomas Ludlow Ashley, 54, a loyal ally of the Speaker's and a popular, buoyant and diligent legislator. O'Neill also picked Ashley because he is an independent on energy (although he comes from Toledo, which has auto plants) and thus may be able to moderate the inevitably conflicting views. Does Ashley see the potential national disaster that Carter envisions? "Yes, I honest-to-God do," says he. Ashley plans to deliver a bill to the House floor...
...just breaks your heart, but you do the same thing you do when a man breaks your heart-you go out and get another one." So says Elizabeth Ashley, 37, about the collapse of one of her shows. And just two days after the Broadway closing of G.B.

Elizabeth Ashley is a vital Cleopatra - half alley cat, half Queen - but more Shakespeare's lady of the Nile than Shaw's. Rex Harrison's Caesar is a burnt-out case who does not seem to remember what it was like to be warm - let alone what it was like to be Caesar. Gerald Clarke
