...LIVING COLOR (Fox, Saturdays, 9 p.m. EDT). Keenen Ivory Wayans (I'm Gonna Git You Sucka) created and stars in this weekly satirical revue with a black spin. The impersonations (Arsenio Hall, Mike Tyson) are dead on, the laughs abundant. TV's brightest new spring comedy, by a mile...
...made it up, about me and Jim floatin' on our raft down that monstrous big river, and Jim escapin' from slavery and me hiding him out.

"No visible signs" of any "practical, positive change in U.S. foreign policy," Gromyko complained in a statement to the Soviet 15 news agency TASS, and thus no reason to expect "a turn for the better" in superpower relations. Reagan put git more pungently to aides as Secretary of State George Shultz was escorting Gromyko out of the White House. Said the President: "Now I've learned to speak Russian-Nyet." In a formal briefing for the journalists who jammed the White House Press Room, Shultz reported just one achievement...
