...detectives to a New York State Supreme Court room jammed with reporters. Arraigned before a state judge, the Secretary had some unusual company: a convicted mobster newly charged with murder, a bookie accused of being an accomplice in the killing, a Democratic state senator and seven dark-suited executives of a construction company that held more than $500 million in government contracts last year...
...center in Kazakhstan. To maintain muscle strength during their long mission, the crew not only exercised regularly but spent part of each day in tight, constraining suits that forced their lungs and hearts to work harder.

Mike Peters of the Dayton Daily News speaks of Mondale's "wonderful beak." Most cartoonists either exaggerate the dark circles under Mondale's eyes so that he looks like a panda or give him hooded lids that look like split coffee beans. The Washington Post's Herblock suspects that some cartoonists make Mondale "lumpier" than he is, to suggest stolidity. As MacNelly sees...
