...Senator William Cohen views it, Congress wants "to practice the Golden Rule." By striving to cut imports from countries thought to discriminate against U.S. products, says the Maine Republican, "we intend to do unto others what they do unto us."

Bea Arthur plays an acerbic substitute teacher, Rue McClanahan is a fading Southern belle, and Betty White is one of those blank-eyed ninnies who exist nowhere except in TV sitcomland. In a typical exchange, Arthur laments that she is growing old: "I looked in the mirror and caught a glimpse of myself and almost had a heart attack. There was this old woman staring...
