Jimmy Carter's organizers have been sniffing around. NBC was in town last week nibblnig at a couple of the coffee drinkers. CBS and Bob Dole cannot be far behind. This about as middle as you can get. And Walter Cronkite really is missed when he disappears from the TV screen and goes off to sail and play tennis...
Despite his brobdingnagian frame (6 ft. 7 in., 240 lbs.), his ever present cigar and his gravelly bass voice, Paul Volcker is a man who likes to keep a low profile, to perform his financial wizardry as a bureaucratic technician rather than as a public figure.

While Zimmer insists that he is doing nothing differently this year, everyone knows it's just ego. Behind Zimmer's ego is not an ounce of superego, just a whole bunce of id. Id like the Red Sox dugout exploding onto the field after they win the 1979 American League East title; id like the Boston Globe printing a photograph of his dough-and-steel visage on their...
