...Middle East. While a re-election campaign motivated President Jimmy Carter's plans for a rapid deployment force and promises to defend the straits of Hormuz from outside invasion, there has been no equivocation in his successor's intentions. President Reagan and Secretary of State Alexander Haig have made explicit the administration's commitment to protect vital areas from the threat of Soviet aggrandizement and other efforts to destabilize regimes that otherwise serve U.S. interests...
...entirely sexist to say that Rich and Famous, based on a famous "woman's picture," has not changed its thesis, however oddly it sometimes characterizes its leading ladies. What was implicit in the old film, namely that men are no good, is now painfully explicit. The husband Bergen sheds, once she begins her climb, is basically a nerd. The man Bisset finally decides might be all right-he is, in the current fashion, younger than she is and without a traditionally masculine brain wave-dumps her for her friend's daughter.

MATEP will then phase in the sale of electricity to the medical area, which has received steam and chilled water service from the plant since last summer, Rosen says...
...Milton's penis, by Roberta Muldoon, the transsexual football player, and the Ellen Jamesians, the radical feminist group whose members cut out their tongues to protest rape. Among those with reservations was the author's mother. Says Frances Irving: "There are parts of Garp that are too explicit for me." Literary heroes like T.S. Garp and John Berry of Hotel New Hampshire challenge social dogmas and traditional sexual roles. Although they sleep with women and could flatten most opponents, Garp and Berry are mother-men. They nurture and protect an extended family of offspring with the tenacity...
