...lack of vision; but "Peabody Terrace" is by no means dumb. It treatment of sexism makes a political point and has humorous potential, but it has to fight its way out of too many wild antics. Maybe even the Watergate theme had possibilities--for the Law School appears to breed a spirit of competition not unlike that of a political campaign--laughable, sometimes...
...Brazilian generals who toppled the elected government of liberal president Joao Goulart in 1964 were a new breed of militarists.

With good reason, the President was referring specifically to William J. Fellner, 68, whom he has nominated to the three-member Council of Economic Advisers. His Senate confirmation hearings had not even begun when Fellner advised the Administration to stop trying to get the unemployment rate down to 4% and counseled acceptance of a 5% rate as more realistic. For good measure, he criticized the Administration for overstimulating the economy last year, advocated...
