...alerted the White House on the troubles over extending the Voting Rights Act. He helped along Ford's policy interests on energy and taxes while the President was off in Helsinki. Rocky could claim an expanding group of friends on the Hill. There were even cordial relations, if not agreement, between himself and conservatives like Barry Goldwater and John Tower...
...here: doubtful doctors and blind determination; parents trying to be brave, a fiancé who has pledged true love wilting away from the full force of the tragedy, other patients being both cynical and supportive as Jill masters her wheelchair. Her struggle is abetted by another skier, a cordial eccentric called "Mad Dog" Dick Buek (Beau Bridges) who wants to marry her.

On Jan. 16, seven top Timesmen were ushered into a small dining room in the East Wing for lamb chops with Ford, Nessen, Chief of Staff Donald Rumsfeld, Economic Adviser Alan Greenspan and Special Consultant Robert Goldwin.

With conditions in Southeast Asia in such flux, the U.S. cannot really disagree with the advice of Singapore's Lee to the non-Communist nations.

At least one influential Tokyo paper, the Asahi Shimbun, believes that the U.S. may be even stronger with...
