...product moves briskly. The two-volume set, entitled The Inman Diary: A Public and Private Confession, has had steady sales and is going into a third printing, which for a book this size and cost is unusual. It has been reviewed favorably all over the block. David Herbert Donald, a Pulitzer-prizewinning historian, calls it "the most remarkable diary ever published by an American." The thing puts people in mind of Pepys, Proust, Rousseau, all manner of citadels of personal penmanship. There is movie talk...
Though the First Ladies managed to keep the summit's distaff side free of controversy, White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan did not fare so well. On the eve of the meeting, Regan advised the Washington Post, in an interview about the wives' press role, that many of the paper's female readers would not understand "throw-weights or what is happening in Afghanistan or what is happening in human rights. Most women . . . would rather read the human-interest stuff of what happened." The remarks predictably infuriated feminists and provided news-starved journalists with a few stories. When reporters...
...match of developer and designer is apt. Jahn's work tends to be glossy, imposing and a little martial, the architectural equivalent of Wagner played on a synthesizer at full blast. He is the Donald Trump of his field, a showman enthralled by sheer size. "We are doing the tallest building in Houston," says Jahn, "the tallest building in Philadelphia, the tallest building in Europe." He arrived from West Germany 19 years ago, at age 26; at 33 he was partner and design director of C.F. Murphy Associates in Chicago; at 43 he was owner and chief executive officer...
...plan does have a certain breathtaking screwball grandeur, like some '30s movie written by Bertolt Brecht and directed by Preston Sturges. Donald Trump, the young multimillionaire real estate developer, owns 100 vacant acres of Hudson River waterfront just northwest of midtown Manhattan, a parcel that he characteristically calls "the greatest piece of urban land in America--the greatest piece of land in the world." One hundred acres! In one spot in Manhattan! At the center of that plot, the developer announced last week, he intends to put up the world's tallest building, an office and apartment tower shooting...
...previews, audiences giggled derisively through much of Revolution. A few saps (like the undersigned) were briefly moved by a three-minute close-up of Pacino fiercely nursing his son (Sid Owen) through some primitive Indian foot surgery. But then Kinski would launch into a furniture-smashing mad scene, or Donald Sutherland would drop by, a tuft of hair sprouting from his right cheek, and the toga-party roistering would recommence. If this reception is duplicated elsewhere. Revolution could achieve a dubious immortality as the campfire classic of 1986. --By Richard Corliss
