...Carter can still count on the vast majority of the officially picked representatives. But the slim Carter victory that most predict may still be "perceived" was a loss. The president's political ship is slowly sinking. Any less than a landslide in the once-secure South could spell media doom for the man from Georgia...
...these people. The political unrest of the time goes by practically unnoticed--the families are touched by the outside world only twice during the year or so the film portrays, once when a newlywed couple journeys to nearby Milan where troops march a group of demonstrators to their doom, and again when a village festival brings angry young orators who give speeches about human rights and democracy. Blank faces watch the troops and the speakers: the troops are soon eclipsed by the wonders of the city and the angry speeches no longer heard when someone spots a gold coin lying...
...fight a seemingly endless battle against those who wanted to fuel the momentum of negotiations with unreciprocated gestures of good will. Not a few argued, for example, that we should forgo our programs on antiballistic missiles (ABM) and multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRV) lest we doom the prospects of strategic arms limitation - though, in fact, ABM and MIRV turned out to be among our few playable cards.

Sitting in limbo, still, it seems with closet injuries looming before the Sox as impending doom. What if Fred Lynn gets hit by a cherry bomb , if Burleson runs into a hungry boa constrictor in Texas? The Yankees always could catch up, the Red Sox could break into a strongend-of-the-season stride, and the O's could die in a plane crash. The American League East is no place for betters...
