...Army, Graham married his college sweetheart, Mary L. Wissler now a lawyer; they and their two children live in Washington's Cleveland Park section. Those who know him almost invariably describe Graham as decent, pleasant and entirely unassuming. "He's just as good to the people who clean the bathrooms as he is to [Columnist] David Broder," says Post Police Reporter Alfred Lewis. One doubt that colleagues whimsically cite about young Graham's business acumen: he has been known to loan reporters money. His deeper footprints around the paper are harder to find. He was a competent...
...vendors be required to provide proof of state and city sales tax payment, and display the selling price of all items. Such rules would be even harder to enforce than the present regulation that puts some popular areas of the city off-limits. The public does not support clean-up efforts, apparently feeling that a patrolman's time might be better spent tracking down muggers than peddlers. Moreover, peddling is part of the city's tradition. At least one prominent Manhattan department store family, in fact, can trace its lineage back to a pushcart peddler...
...Courts are not a budgeting agency," says Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Paul Freund. "They see problems through a keyhole. What they ordain in the way of expenditures is not correlated with expenditures for other needs."

Two full-blooded Aborigines--Gulpilil, who was magnificent in Walkabout, and Nanjiwawwa Amagula--are superb actors, able to carry a scene without a word. They bring tremendous life to these scenes, and dignity to the entire picture...
...months later, This Year's Model, landed on the public almost too soon--it was hard to believe one man could write that many great songs so fast, and record them so well. This Year's Model added an organ to Costello's instrumental mix, but kept the clean, direct sound that delivered his catchy hooks so well. It remains his best album; every song is classic rock and roll in a style critics had given up years ago for lost...
