...stuffed with photocopies of old Congressional Records supposedly documenting Hart's inconsistencies. They show, for instance, that three weeks before last October's bombing of the U.S. Marine headquarters in Beirut, when Hart claims he was calling for an American withdrawal from Lebanon, he actually voted to extend their mission for another six months. By feeding these examples to the press, Mondale aides hope to depict Hart as a feckless McGovernite who has learned the "wrong lesson" from Viet Nam. Aides portray Mondale, by contrast, as a steady hand who knows what it is like to have...
...three strongest works on display: Husbandry by Patrick Tovatt. Les (Ray Fry) is an endangered species: the independent farmer who loves the land and rotates his crops, scrabbling for survival. Now he is tired and just about broke, ready to extend "the chain of stewardship, or better yet, of husbandry" to his son Harry (Ken Jenkins), who works in a city parks department.

I see that Michael learned his lesson well, hanging out with the press in New Hampshire, and now seeks to extend their misleading claims to objecticity in political affairs to the pages of the Crimson...
...time for nostalgia," says Aksyonov in fluent English. He teaches a seminar in Russian literature at Goucher College near Baltimore, and once a week his reviews of new U.S. fiction are broadcast to the Soviet Union over the Voice of America. In addition, Aksyonov and his wife Maya extend nonstop hospitality in their Washington, D.C., apartment to Soviet exiles passing through the capital...
