...been weakened further by his bumbling Cabinet shake-up of two weeks ago, his fumbling performance on the hustings and the disarray in his campaign organization. The beneficiary is Reagan, who, despite his years in the public eye as a Hollywood actor and California Governor, is viewed as a fresh face in presidential politics because he cannot be identified with the problems in Washington. Professionals in both parties give him an outside chance of carrying off the nomination at the G.O.P.'s convention in Kansas City, Mo., in August...
...western movie sticks in his mind these days, Reagan says, an episode from a book by James Warner Bellah. The fort is under attack by Apaches; the colonel is dying; the young captain is standing by. The colonel-in the sort of role Reagan was always too fresh-faced to play-tells the captain this may be the only time he will face such circumstances, and to rise to them. Fate, the way Reagan views it, now has put him in a similar position. He is in a tough spot not of his own choosing. But as long...
...fact, been a serious weakness for the Vikings in recent years. But this season, with good rookies like Autry Beamon at safety and Mark Mullaney at defensive end.

Mexican, U.S. and Canadian researchers, under the leadership of the University of Rochester's Rene Millon, have spent years mapping the city and collecting more than a million artifacts, mostly pottery shards and tools but also human and animal remains. After identifying and cataloguing the pieces from each location, the scientists ran their data through a series of computer programs designed by Physicist turned Archaeologist George Cowgill of Brandeis University. These enable them to determine, for example, if a particular site...
...while it looked like old times at the jewelry store for Liz Taylor and Richard Burton. Fresh from their honeymoon in Botswana, the pair stopped off in Johannesburg, South Africa, where Dick picked out a 72-diamond wedding band for his beloved, as well as a platinum and multi-diamond dress ring worth close to $1 million. Liz, however, announced that she was "deeply moved by Richard's gesture of giving me the ring" but just couldn't accept such an "extravagant thought." Instead, she said, she and Burton had agreed to use the money to build...
