...writer, not an actor, and the immense presence that Hanes gives his character is oddly wrong, too smug, too fulsomely gesturing, too much exterior acting. It is a terrific role, at once subtle and obvious, but the actor's energetic anger, bitterness and sense of adventure must come from deep within. In the scenes that call for dynamic confrontation with Amanda, Hanes is very good, but at other times he is too pompous, too unselfconscious. Lines like "it don't take too much intelligence to get yourself into a nailed-up coffin" and "how lucky dead people are" lack...
...Abol Hassan Banisadr, 47, is Iran's new acting Foreign Minister and Finance Minister. His quiet manner, spectacles and Charlie Chaplin mustache belie a deep-rooted fierce economic radicalism. An economist who studied at the Sorbonne, Banisadr says Iranian foreign policy has "a single objective: freedom from economic, cultural and political dependence on the West."

To increase trade he, along with Reagan and Brown, calls for a North American common market. To spur savings Connally would create a "taxpayer's nest egg," in which people could invest...
Once Tutankhamun returned from the tomb, it was inevitable that publishers would discover the Nile. Several have done so, simultaneously vulgarizing the past and present. But two new books offer a deep understanding of how people looked and thought a world ago. In Mummies Made in Egypt (Crowell; $8.95), Aliki unravels the secrets of ba, the ancient Egyptian concept of the soul, and ka, the invisible twin of the deceased. Both ba and ka wandered after death, and they could only return to a recognizable body-hence the art of preservation. Aliki's crisp narrative and delicate artwork never...
