...Feinstein. Bobby Short is better singing Cole Porter -- Feinstein feels a bit uncomfortable with Porter's witty and often cynical lyrics -- and Steve Ross has a wider repertoire. But no one better understands the romantic moods of Irving Berlin and the Brothers Gershwin. Most singers today would not even bother with Berlin's ancient Alexander's Ragtime Band, for instance; or if they did, it would most likely sound like a Sousa march. Caressing it seductively, Feinstein, occasionally improvising as he sings, transforms it into a love song...
...uncle (Richard Jordan) runs a vulnerable conglomerate; his inamorata (Helen Slater) is the boss's minor squeeze; the older woman who beds Brantley is the boss's wife (Margaret Whitton). And now that we have the farce machinery purring, let's kick it into high gear. Naaah, why bother? Director Herbert Ross and Writers Jim Cash, Jack Epps Jr. and A J Carothers know this picture exists only as a mobile Michael J.

What it come down to, of course, is that we would end up with a president much like Ronald Reagan, except without a dangerous, warlike mentality. As for foolish barriers to the plan, such as the bother-some "just say no" campaign--dudes, just be cool...
...admiral feels confident enough to ignore for the most part the continuing stream of Iranscam revelations. "He counts on his lawyers to keep track of what is important," says one friend. Poindexter did not even bother to watch President Reagan's televised news conference two weeks ago. He told one friend he preferred to work on developing a program for the computer in his home study. Poindexter has been busying himself with the routine activities of any suburban homeowner: accompanying his sons Tom, 18, and Joe, 16, to the movies; attending services at the Episcopal church where his wife Linda...
