...even the rising political challenge of Ronald Reagan seemed to dent Ford's hard-core optimism. He brushed it aside with the admonition to wait for Election Day. Jerry Ford, at once so simple and yet so perplexing, could almost be believed when he said, "I get a great feeling every day I get up. I can't wait to get over to the office. Some days I am more disappointed than others, but I enjoy the challenge every...
...offering them a chance to fight in one just war for Black Africa," CORE Chairman Roy Innis told Newsday reporters. "I know the aggressive nature of the Soviets. They are grabby and pushy ... We are not mercenaries. We are Africans abroad. The Cubans, the Russians, the South Africans, the CIA-they are the mercenaries." Innis denied that his recruiting drive was being sponsored by the CIA, but the newspaper quoted unnamed intelligence sources as saying that, in fact, it was. Innis has ties with Uganda's President Idi Amin, who is opposed to the M.P.L.A., and he may also...
...NEEDLEPOINT GALLERY OF PATTERNS FROM THE PAST by Phyllis Kluger. 191 pages. Knopf. $15.

But the core is missing; without a sufficiently interesting Allan to play off of, these peripheral characters remain self-contained and unable to compensate for the show's central failure...
...trouble is first recorded by sensitive, computerized instruments in the control room of the nuclear power plant. They warn that temperatures inside the reactor are rising fast toward a danger point - so fast that only one explanation is possible: somehow, the main pipes carrying water to the reactor core have broken or clogged. As white-coated technicians look on helplessly, the back-up water system also fails. Deprived of the coolant that controls its temperature, the reactor begins melting in its own heat. Then the machine and its fuel collapse into a molten mass that explosively converts the coolant water...
