...bringing to it a similar interpretation. In this familiar song, Bundy begs his stewardess bedmate not to leave the morning after, all the while hoping she will. She cooperates by insisting that she must fly on to Barcelona. At the last minute, she agrees to stay, much to his chagrin. In this piece, as throughout, the two use only one or two props, and remain clad in streetclothes. They pick a theme begun some time earlier in a musical that the audience, of course, doesn't see. But even without a developed plot they convey with perfect clarity the confrontation...
...obstacle to a hostage release remains what it has been for months: the lack of any uncontested authority in Iran willing and able to make the decision to free them. Speaking with reporters on the South Lawn of the White House last week, Jimmy Carter could not hide his chagrin over the seemingly endless cycle of raised expectations and dashed hopes.

Three times last month, the report says, Carter canceled scheduled interviews with department lawyers. The White House also has been reluctant to hand over requested documents. The report criticizes Attorney General Benjamin Civiletti for "dissembling" at a press conference at which...
...defense issue on which Reagan's position is more dangerous than Carter's: how to reach an effective strategic arms agreement with the Soviet Union. The Reagan proposal to scrap SALT II and renegotiate an entirely new treaty is simply not plausible, as Carter discovered to his chagrin when he tried the same thing with Moscow in 1977 (see box). There is no doubt that Reagan's stance runs the higher risk of a new, costly and counterproductive arms race, although he has modified an earlier position that the U.S. be militarily superior to the Soviets to an insistence that...
