...always been a puzzle. For three decades, we in the rest of the world have watched American movies with mouth-dripping envy, fantasizing about the day when we too will have those shiny Formica kitchens, the big cars with lots of chrome, blinking computers everywhere, Las Vegas, Gary Cooper. It seemed like paradise, but good old Richard Cory just went and shot himself. In spite of its inane aspects, the recent flood of nostalgia is a healthy rehabilitation of national symbols, a growing out of adolescent shame and embarrassment about "home" and a gradual realization that what is commonly thought...
...still a hopeless flailing to think on it: Rice is dead and gone. I try to look at the bright side. For one, now in a possible World Series Cecil Cooper can start with Dwight Evans preserved at right field. Cooper on first and Yaz at left--no more problem of dumping the designated hitter. But (sigh) manager Darrell Johnson will probably start Carbo or something... And, uh, Rice wasn't hitting so well in the past week anyway--chopping his swing and neutralizing his power. Hah. It's very depressing. And you have to feel most sorry, ruthless...
Proofs of theorem: MOBILE ONE (ABC, Friday, 8 p.m. E.D.T.). Tedious research has established this as the worst new program on the tube. Viewers are asked to believe that a glum Jackie Cooper, who can scarcely work up the energy to articulate his lines, is an aggressive TV newsman.

Sometimes there's more to Vaude-Rocker Alice Cooper than meets the eye shadow. After a three-week Hawaiian vacation, Cooper came to New York last week and was ... well, swept up in a city cleanup campaign. Joining some 300 volunteers, the rock star spent a couple of hours clearing away the garbage in one of Manhattan's parks. "I'm an old sentimentalist about New York," explained Cooper. That may be just as well. While the singer was away from home, his new $150,000 house in West Los Angeles burned to the ground...
More conventional physiologists commonly recommend at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. They find Morehouse's program preposterous. "It's an impossibility to develop total cardiovascular and pulmonary fitness in 30 minutes a week," says Dallas Physician Kenneth Cooper. His "aerobics" program, originally developed for the Air Force, aims at improving heart, lung and circulatory function through strenuous but graded exercises that promote the system's more efficient use of oxygen. The Morehouse book, Cooper complains, "is going to do a disservice to a person who wants to use exercise to practice preventive medicine...
