However specious that claim may seem to students of history, it does not behoove the Democrats in an eelection year to grin and bear stunted growth and unrelenting unemployment. Carter, whose foreign policy pronouncements have left even the most attentive listeners wondering what he really means, has yet to define what he calls "responsible" behavior at home. He should lead by example instead of watching public opinion polls and reflecting the mood of the moment. And though his hesitancy to impose a tax cut marks a departure from his habit of appeasing the pollsters, it's ironic that...
...Neal, Nick Nolte cuts, dives and spins with a clowning sensual appeal that overwhelms John Heard as Jack and Sissy Spacek as Carolyn.

They both tell the story of a good ole boy leading his small-top troupe from one tank town to another, juggling dreams of success and threats of eviction, extortion and worse. Add a couple of good buddies, a venal politician or two-and, most important, a little love interest...
...School can afford a collective smug grin. Sought out for its academic and training resources and frequently in the headlines as a forum for political events, it is one of Harvard's flashiest showpieces. Many observers wonder where the school derives its near-frantic desire for expansion and improvement. Who sets the pace of the Kennedy School? What keeps Allison and Co. hustling...
