...Queens. Caught up in the moment, she cried, "We've got to get those Turkeys out!"

With an eye to conservatives at home, she has consistently opposed large cuts in the military. When Carter favored a mobile MX missile, she voted for it; when Reagan backed a silo-based MX, she voted against it. In the past year, as her political ambition widened, she has tried to plug...

No doubt about it: the Jacksons' tour is a real show-business extravaganza, a four-star eye-glazer and ear-bender replete with laser effects, magic tricks, assorted marvelous machines, sundry intermittent detonations, a finale full of fireworks... and, oh yes, a healthy portion of good solid funk. Soul Train meets Star Wars on the outskirts of Las Vegas. A lot of-quite literal-bang for the buck...
