Reagan's action stirred sharp domestic dissent among those who believe it violates the constitutional separation of church and state. South Carolina Democrat Fritz Hollings and Connecticut Republican Lowell Weicker said they would oppose Senate confirmation of Wilson. Explained Hollings: "It is in violation of the First Amendment and sets a bad precedent." A number of church groups, including the National Council of Churches (N.C.C.), also objected. The President's "incautious and naive action" could stir up "anti-Catholic animus," said Dean Kelley of the N.C.C...
Much of the criticism of press bias comes from the organized and vocal right, but Fritz Mondale has grounds for complaint too. The press rap against him is that he is not exciting enough. At the end of the year, Columnist David Broder of the Washington Post, reviewing some of his own errors and misjudgments, concluded, "But no one, I hope, will deny me my one moment of brilliance."

...that the Democrats' once assured ability to "deliver" Cook County can now be called into question. A lunch in St. Louis was canceled for lack of interest, and many seats were left empty at a $500-a-plate breakfast in Atlanta. At the last stop, in Albuquerque, Ernest ("Fritz") Rollings pronounced both the Glenn and Mondale campaigns to be "mush...
Bunuel's involvement is film stemmed from his work as a critic for Cahier's effort and several Spanish publications. Whether he saw films to write reviews or wrote reviews in order to support his celluloid habit of as many as three films a day is unclear. Fritz Lang's "Destiny," he says, "clarified my life and my vision of the world." One result of that clarification was that he saw that he wanted to make films. He started as an extra and errand boy for Jean Epstein during the filming of "Mauprat," then spent six months in Hollywood hanging...
