...action never let up." So said TIME'S White House correspondent Christopher Ogden last week, describing both Jimmy Carter's drive to strengthen his Administration and our Washington bureau's efforts to cover and interpret the fast-breaking developments. While that task occupied the entire bureau, as well as TIME correspondents around the world, no one was more deeply engaged in the process than Ogden. It was 1:30 Monday morning last week when TIME completed its coverage of the President's dramatic Sunday night address (copies of the magazine were in the hands of readers...

Jaffe just kind of shuffles off stage, leaving her limp figures...

He collects many of his Muppet pals along the way-Fozzie, the apologetic bear: Gonzo, the not quite turkey; Miss Piggy, the karate queen in the lavender gloves; Dr. Teeth and his Electric Mayhem band; Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, the melon-brained mad scientist, and his twittering assistant Beaker. A human villain tries to kidnap Kermit to shill for his chain of French-fried frogs...
