...former major general, Sharon is frequently called "the Bulldozer." It suits both his girth (5 ft. 6 in., 235 lbs.) and his autocratic style. He inspires extremes of emotion. To his admirers, especially his troops, he is a brave and brilliant field commander who is not afraid to take risks, even at his peril. To his critics, among them many of his generals and Cabinet colleagues, he is an arrogant and dangerously ambitious megalomaniac with little or no respect for opposing points of view, much less democratic process. Said a senior Knesset member who attended meetings with Sharon last week...

Rushed into the top challenger's position after 25 short victories, and rusty from 13 months of inactivity, Cooney fought Holmes more than twelve brave rounds, until he could barely stand up and his trainer, Victor Valle, could stand no more. With fewer than ten seconds remaining in the 13th round, Valle scrambled under the ropes and ran across the ring, folded his arms about his fighter and propped his head on Cooney's chest. He held on dearly. The fighter's left eyelid was sliced, and the bridge of his two-tiered nose was split...

...only in the past few years, Bernstein writes, that "the cacophony of real life became audible above the droning, monotonous Muzak of the regime."

Philip DeGuere is a television producer, a home-computer aficionado and a very brave man. Working with a Virginia-based computer data bank called the Source, DeGuere devised a way in which a Source subscriber can punch in a code and use his computer keyboard to sound off on the television program he is watching. Every man a critic! Bring back Lou Grant! "People want to talk back to their television sets," says the Source's Mike Rawl. DeGuere has already used his hookup for electronic feedback on Hill Street Blues and his own detective adventure, Simon & Simon...

...Review editors, however, don't live by principle alone--they aren't quite that brave after all. A lot of The Review's gumption--and money--comes from the Institute for Educational Affairs (IEA). The IEA, led by conservatives like William F. Buckley, William E. Simon, and Rep. Jack Kemp (R-N.Y.), set up shop after the 1980 elections in order to foster the growth of papers like The Review on colleges campuses around the country. So far, IEA has been fairly successful--new conservative student papers have sprung up at Harvard and Williams, as well as at Dartmouth...
