Strategists for both parties are speculating about the effect of these tax revolts on the 1984 elections. Republicans in both states may be helped in their local legislative races. And, with his antitax stance, Reagan may benefit in Ohio, where a close presidential vote is expected...
...which finds just the right comic or dramatic settings for such fine '60s songs as You Can't Always Get What You Want, Good Lovin', Ain 't Too Proud to Beg and A Natural Woman. Indeed, the entire film is a kind of sock-hop benefit for Approaching Middle Age. This maturing generation never played Taps with such glamour or good humor.

While still in the U.S., Aquino had told TIME that he feared the loyalist forces around Marcos more than tie did the President. The reason: in the long run, Aquino felt, he would be an obstacle to their political ambitions. Aquino was known...
