Arrogant and Abrasive. For all his charm and abilities, Connally has many drawbacks. He would have scant appeal to voter blocs that are also cool to Ford and Reagan: blacks, organized labor, the Spanish speaking and blue-collar workers. He also seems considerably less attractive to voters in general than to Republican party workers. In a nationwide TIME-Yankelovich survey of 1,048 registered voters in June, 29% said they would be less likely to opt for the Republican ticket if Connally were the vice-presidential candidate; only 19% claimed they would be more inclined to support the G.O.P...
...back to the hotel for coffee, brewed to order in little brass pots right in the room. Indeed, the hotel itself may be Arab-owned: the Royal Kensington, the Park Tower and the fabled Dorchester have all been bought by Middle Eastern investors-the Dorchester for a cool $15.9 million. For those who are bothered by a touch of London tummy, help awaits at expensive Wellington Hospital in St. John's Wood, where the amenities include Arab interpreters and closed-circuit TV featuring Arab-language movies made in Cairo...
More than anything else, the strife in Lebanon is responsible for Britain's Arab influx. Most of the recent arrivals are vacationers from Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf states, or temporary refugees from Beirut.

Many Beirutis use London as a haven for their families and a substitute financial capital while they continue to do business by jetting around the Middle East. "London was the next best...
...scraggly reporter named Jerry Rubin, claiming to represent the counter-cultural Detroit Sun, seemed to be sporting bogus accreditations. I can see how a restrictive pass system may seem reasonable to those giving out the credentials. The DNC can risk offending some college reporters who have two months to cool off before they file. Regardless of the satisfaction derived from getting in, however, it will be a long time before I forget hearing that nominating roll call filter up seven levels to the balcony where I was waiting 25 deep to get a 20-minute pass...
...Soon after she won the balance-beam and floor-exercise golds in Munich, Korbut became the world's darling, and the Soviet team's ticket to exhibition performances in Europe and America. But the experience left her thirsty for Western-style perks of stardom, and her already cool relationship with Soviet Coach Renald Knysh turned to ice. She announced at one point that she was "sick and tired of gymnastics," and talked of a stage career. "Capricious," was Teammate Turishcheva's delicate characterization. But the Korbut who trained at Minsk last month suddenly seemed a grownup...
