Particularly unsettling for those who hope to kill the breeder is the dawning understanding that the majorities that make up that guiding force are not comprised solely of members responding to special interests. Neither is it a conservative coalition. To the chagrin of anti-nuke activists, not even the breeder and its hated plutonium--much less the conventional, safer reactors--can shake up the moderates who control Congress. "We are not going to, pell-mell, rush into a 'breeder age' or 'plutonium economy' or anything else," argued classic middle-of-the-roader, Rep. John Anderson (D-Ill.) recently...
...young lady from Pau." It seems that Florence arrived in Wellesley, Mass. for a summer sojourn at the home of Arthur Hunnewell with her golf clubs in tow, having brought them over from Pau, France, where she had been wintering. She was soon informed to her great chagrin that the game of golf had never been played in New England before, much less even heard...
...peace settlement; the military, which is the anchor of Sadat's domestic support, pledged to back any move he cared to make.

Well, it never occured to me that Christmas was mine to choose. The birth of Jesus Christ, Savior, Son of God--I'm not sure, but he doesn't look Jewish...
Somehow, the old kitsch was missing. Oh, Chevy Chase took a dive-and i a giant envelope from a hairy Kongian hand. Marty Feldman smashed a statuette to smithereens. Richard Pryor yelled, "Hey, everybody in Peoria, it's me." But basically, to the chagrin of camp followers everywhere, they played it straight, even to the point of inviting Norman Mailer and Lillian Hellman to give awards. Missing were Bob Hope, John Wayne and most of Old Hollywood; New Hollywood (whose spokesperson increasingly seems to be Jane Fonda) was so in evidence that even onetime McGovernite Warren Beatty observed that...
