...chairman of the West German Social Democratic Party, the largest contributor to the organization, Brandt has used his party's bureaucracy and his personal prestige to expand the movement's influence in the Third World. He has got 16 leftist movements and parties, including those of Guatemala, Venezuela and Costa Rica, to join. But, to the dismay of some of his colleagues, he has imprinted the Socialist International with his own ideological stamp. The Socialist International routinely condemns human rights abuses in South Africa or South Korea, but delegations heading for East European capitals often steer away from...
...Reagan!" somebody yelled outside. "Why a royal party on a movie set?" Said she, smiling: "Why not?" Especially when the place was lent by Fox Owner Marvin Davis, a Reagan contributor, and the dinner was underwritten by eight conservative California tycoons, including Reagan Patron Holmes Tuttle and Union Bank Chairman John Heidt.

...Queen Elizabeth's fifth visit to the U.S., relations between the British royal family and London's tabloid press were showing signs of strain, as this week's cover story, written by Contributor John Skow, attests.

Madeleine Nash briefly lost touch with New York when his telephone computer link malfunctioned. Says Contributor Jay Cocks who anxiously awaited Moritz's report: "They told me that his computer was down. I envisioned an old hippie having a fit of depression." Meanwhile, Senior Writer Otto Friedrich resolutely tapped out his Machine of the Year story on his favorite machine of all: a 15-year...
Your analysis of the job specifications for the presidency stopped short of detailing what can be done to improve the caliber of candidates. I believe that a diminution of the open competition in American politics has been a major contributor to the selection of poorer candidates, and therefore less qualified elected officials. For the 1988 election, a list should be drawn up of 200 of the most promising leaders. Then an advisory review board, similar to the American Bar Association, would rate the individuals. Mediocre candidates would be discouraged. Excellent ones would be encouraged to get into races. This system...
