This is a curious position to take for a man who has written what many call the best and most comprehensive history of the Vietnam War, and has received critical acclaim and high ratings for his 13-part IV documentary on the war for PBS being shown for the second time this summer...
...joint appearance with the head of the ticket for a picnic and press conference Friday in Mondale's home town of Elmore, Minn. (pop. 882), Ferraro got a mixed reception from a curious crowd. As anti-abortion pickets stood on the fringes of the group, Ferraro stated courageously, if more than a bit redundantly, "The choice has to be the choice of the woman facing the choice." That drew applause. But she went on to assert that "the President walks around calling himself a good Christian, but I don't for one minute believe it because the policies...
When it comes to using TV, Ferraro is a curious throwback.

But this is very much an album in need of what the record business calls tour support. The most interesting song-or the most curious, at any rate-is Be Not Always, a ballad written and performed by Michael with injections of mournful strings. A sort of nonspecific cry of pain against both personal cruelty and international aggression, the song seems intended as a rejoinder to those who think Michael makes mostly good-time make...
