...fashioned around its new evening star may not be the best, but it is as personalized as Walters' weadily wecognizable delivewy (WR substitution, speech therapists call it). She was allowed to display her interviewing talents with Sadat two nights in a row, with a Pennsylvania health official (about fallout in the state from a Chinese nuclear test last month) and with several ABC correspondents. She spoke to all of them over a 24-in. television screen on the show's aseptic-looking silvery gray set. Walters also introduced a somewhat stagy filmed report on how to locate runaway...
Carter advisers were concerned over the political fallout, but they should also worry about their own efficiency. Playboy insists that it agreed to allow the candidate or his aides to review the unedited transcripts of the taped interview-to correct factual errors, they maintain, but other interviewees have been allowed to make substantial changes. The Carter camp never asked for the transcripts, says Playboy Assistant Managing Editor Barry Golson. He also insists that he made several calls to Press Secretary Jody Powell to arrange for him to review the transcripts, but that Powell never returned the calls. Journalists familiar with...
...campaign for the presidency, Rockefeller demonstrated an insensitivity to the GOP establishment, that, while only mildly harmful then, would prove fatal to his political life four years later. He roamed around the world with little on his mind but fallout radiation (Nehru would remark later, "...a very strange man...all he wants to talk about is bomb shelters"), an issue which carried the implication that Eisenhower had been soft with the Russians. He entered the campaign an outsider and left a bad loser--in his final declaration of non-candidacy, Rockefeller avoided endorsing the only serious candidate left...
...there are going to be a lot of questions on that," Reagan told grimacing aides hustling him off to the bunkers to await the fallout. He won his bet. Screeched a San Francisco Chronicle headline: REAGAN WOULD SEND GI'S TO AVERT RHODESIA WAR. Hastily, the candidate began to backtrack: "I made the mistake of trying to answer hypothetical questions with hypothetical answers." When that did not float very high, Reagan began to pass off his suggestion as in keeping with current U.S. policy: "The same thing we've been doing in the Middle East." Then he became...
Flindt's doomsday piece documents the death of a small town-or perhaps the end of the world-to a rather syrupy, amiably melodic pop-rock score by Thomas Koppel. Shrouded in a black plastic mantle, Death stalks, pointing, closing doors, and in general mopping up human fallout from air pollution. In one scene a rich man strips and frantically slathers his body in red disinfectant. The much-vaunted nude orgy takes place in a boutique where women tussle greedily over clothes and jewels. It occupies about four of the work's 80 minutes...
