...spite of a reputation for keeping out of the public eye, Konstantin Chernenko made a collection of his essays and speeches, and has published 15 of them. Many of the pieces were prepared for specific occasions. Taken as a whole, however, the selection offers a fascinating picture of the corporate Soviet mind. Except for a page-long personal history, included in the preface at the publisher's request, Chernenko's book presents an almost disembodied, albeit forceful, expression of Communist Party orthodoxy. It serves as an interesting guidebook to the official Soviet position on matters both practical...

It had been a wild week of ski racing, and maybe it was those crazy ski suits that gave the first hint.

Yet what does the nation mean when it sails into cauldrons like Lebanon-let's fight to the death until someone gets hurt? Oh, if every beach were Grenada's. After the easy questions, the hard...
Back from a lengthy concert tour, Claude meets his agent Norman Robbins (Albert Brooks) and listens to some gibberish about a private detective's report on his wife. Confused about the detective. Claude denies any jealous tendencies. His manservant, Giuseppe (Richard Libertini), misunderstood Claude's request "Keep an eye on her" for the Italian equivalent of "Get a private eye to follow her." With the requisite veneer of trust, Claude poo-poos the report and falls back into the arms of Daniella...
