...Winning Without Keeping Score"; "Practical Pets to Fit Your Life Style" (fins-down winners are fish). Regular departments cover travel, fashion, finance, food, music, film and books, and there is a column for single parents and a chatty publisher's letter by Douglas, who is prone to such breathless confessions as "I created Intro to solve my own social problems, but wanted to let all of you in on the fun, too." The magazine, put together by Editor Jim Yaeger, boasts a staff of consultants on subjects ranging from child psychology to skin care...
According to one breathless account, the wooing of South Dakota Republican Larry Pressler included a visit from the Governor of his state, some attention from Maxwell Rabb, our Ambassador to Italy, who is here on other matters, three brief meetings with Reagan in the White House and finally a phone call from the President.

"At least one tattler in the Carter tribe," wrote McClellan, "has described listening in to the tape itself." The item concluded: "Stay tuned, uh, whoever's listening...
...story is unremarkable, much the way the story of Breathless is unremarkable. The film chronicles the lives of three country girls, Antonina, Liudmilla and Katerina--all of whom are living in Moscow. Russia's version of Las Vegas, or maybe Marin County, a center of power where anything can happen. Not surprisingly, these honest but low-rent outsiders have dreams of playing this crapshoot for keeps--they want to marry and be able to live the Big Life for good. Antonina is shy and not terribly ambitious. A country house, a car, a nice hubby and fresh vegetables...
