Backstage just after an exhausting performance, the star brims with energy. She hugs well-wishers and exults at the surprise appearance of a California friend. Wiping her damp ginger hair away from her forehead, she smiles easily, deep lines creasing the corners of her famous large brown eyes. Sipping a Tab, she jokes about an opening-night telegram sent by Actor Edward Asner (Lou Grant): NICE TO KNOW ALL THOSE DANCING LESSONS HAVE PAID OFF AT LAST. When one visitor notes how plain her dressing room is, Mary Tyler Moore laughs. "I've had beautiful dressing rooms in terrible...

...your eyes, tooling south down the highway from Concord, drifting into the Amsokeag-Bridge-Manchester exit, past the big Holiday Inn ("Welcome Gv Reagan Wife"), and on the right the billboard squats in a weedy lot.

...Khomeini's entrance for the interview was almost regal," reported Van Voorst.

Khomeini showed neither comprehension of nor interest in the brief introduction. There was no handshaking, merely a nod.

...forehead glistening with beads of sweat, John R. Silber is hotly defending his record as president of Boston University [B.U.] before a crowded press conference. His face is ashen and his teeth are gritted, but his voice never breaks as he makes point after point in firm, measured tones. As he pauses for emphasis, a student heckler interrupts to ask a pointed question.
