...colorful Helms, 62, wields highly charged oratory as a nationwide clarion for the right. "The Soviets are out for blood everywhere in the world," he says on the stump. His invective is peppered with humor: "I was standing on the Capitol steps when an empty cab pulled up and Walter Mondale got out. I even saw Ted Kennedy with his hands in his own pocket...
That would be dwarfed by another huge increase in the Pentagon budget: Reagan is requesting a 13% (after inflation) rise in spending authorization, to $305 billion (see following story). "To those who say we must raise taxes, I say wait," the President declared. He did couple his less-than-clarion call with a pledge to "go forward with a historic reform" that would "simplify the entire tax code."

Uhuru!, the Swahili clarion call for freedom from the European colonial powers, has brought independence but little liberty for millions of black Africans.

This is a "solid" production, but it should be buoyant. The Wingfields imbibe a kind of emotional helium; only the guy wires of propriety keep them from floating into their darkest dreams. But with the exception of Bruce Davison's Tom, who nicely mixes wistfulness and cynicism, this...
...regulation and education reforms were obscured by a flurry of lurid charges: two weeks before the election, Bramlett supporters trotted out a pair of young black men, both transvestites, who claimed to have been paid 20 times by Allain for sexual services. A polygraph test commissioned by the Jackson Clarion-Ledger buttressed the hustlers' allegations. Allain, 55 and divorced, called the charges "damnable, vicious, malicious lies." He added, "I'm no sexual deviate, and Leon Bramlett knows...
