...January. Reagan, always interested in show as well as substance, wants to keep the matter technically open until he feels the moment is right to go on prime-time television with a speech kicking off his campaign. With his flair for the dramatic, Reagan would like to keep some element of suspense until then. "It is perfectly appropriate that he have a little wiggle room," says Laxalt. But Laxalt, who will be the campaign chairman, is not expecting a change of heart. "In football terms," he says, "this candidacy is on the six-inch line." Says a senior aide...

...talk show he said that he admired Cuba's Fidel Castro more than he did Ronald Reagan. But in general, King conveyed a sense of thoughtfulness. He talked relentlessly about the multiracial "rainbow coalition" that supported his candidacy. Says John Marttila, a Boston political analyst: "The most important element was the tone of Mel's campaign. It is a far more unifying tone than when he ran in 1979."

Another powerful element is the consistent control over such an ecstatic, energetic piece. At one moment the men will be carrying women over their heads or bundled in their arms; the next, each woman will be freely leaping or extending her leg. Similarly, there are periods of intense concentration--a man holding the base of a woman's calf, while she, on point, holds her other leg in a perfect attitude behind her--side by side with handstands, rolls and headstands.

...past three years, Iraq and Iran have been like scorpions in a bottle, stuck in a war that seemingly has no end. Well over 100,000 from both sides have been killed; thousands more have been taken prisoners. Now, a new element may enter the grim struggle, possibly altering its scope and stakes: according to French press reports, neither confirmed nor denied by the authorities over the weekend, the French government is sending to Iraq five highly sophisticated Super Etendard fighter-bombers.
