From the start to the finish of this production there is not so much as a single green leaf. Not only that, but we get a chilly mist and even a snowfall; inhabitants blow on their frozen fingers and carry with them a brazier to warm themselves by. What is idyllic about such a wintry environment...
Defeat and humiliation in Lebanon will be a staggering blow for the Palestinians. It will weaken P.L.O. arguments for a place at any peace conference between the Arabs and Israel. Beyond that, when the shooting finally fades in Lebanon, the Palestinians may be forced as part of the peace to find a new base.

...stop blocking $37.5 million in food benefits for 63,000 elderly citizens. Then came a $125 million victory over the Department of Agriculture, which had been holding back congressionally appropriated food funds for pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children.

...unbuttoned with studied casualness, a flashing medallion nestled in the virile hair of a bronzed chest. He is the heir to centuries of tradition and folklore, the ultimate seducer, the possessor of alchemical secrets of the amorous arts: he is the mythical Italian lover. The myth took a body blow, so to speak, with the recent publication of excerpts from a 400-page study titled Report on the Sexual Behavior of Italians, or, as it was quickly dubbed, "The Italian Kinsey Report." The Italian male emerges from the study as a cursory, inept lover, crippled by a Don Giovanni complex...
