There is a nagging, increasingly angry feeling that the Russians are getting away with too much in the world today and that, as last week's statement by the Republican Senators charged, the Carter Administration is to blame. Carter has undoubtedly made tactical errors in dealing with Moscow and may have been wrong to cancel the B-l bomber. But it is also too easily forgotten that tough talk and gestures do not amount to coping with Moscow. As far as local conflicts with the Soviets or their agents are concerned, post-Viet Nam America abhors any form...
...excerpts from Biko's articles and speeches, as well as anecdotes about him, show that he was both articulate and persuasive, easily able to bring his audience to understand his ideas and to sympathize with his goals. At times, Woods seems ready to canonize Biko. Yet one can hardly blame him, for Biko seems to have brought Woods and many other South Africans, both black and white, to a new awareness of the more subtle levels at which apartheid functions...
...senators... You may bring me down, but you can't destroy this union--because we can close this country down!!" Stallone tells the almost laughably arrogant Senator Steiger, the quality of whose "evidence" is matched only by the quality of his overblown, obnoxious performance.

The occasion: the first meeting of the 126-member central committee since the left's stunning election defeat last March. Did the blame for that lie with the Communists, who bickered endlessly with their Socialist allies during the campaign? Not to hear Marchais tell it. "We bear no responsibility," he said in a dukes-up, three-hour speech. The cause, he asserted, was purely the Socialists' "obstinacy." As for suggestions that...
...Georgia's affluent De Kalb County just outside Atlanta, 12,000 irate homeowners have signed a petition to dump the county's chief executive, Walter Russell, nephew of the late Democratic Senator Richard Russell, whom they blame for putting in a computerized system that reassessed property annually instead of every four years. Homeowner fury has forced the De Kalb assessors to unplug the infernal machine. In Chicago's Cook County, property taxes for many homeowners jumped anywhere from 20% to 100% last year. Some of the most extreme increases are in California, where demand and speculation have...
