...that. On occasion during the week he looked haggard, and he told reporters wryly, "I believe I have had easier times." But he made himself conspicuous, bustling about the halls of Congress and on at least two occasions visiting the White House, most of the time wearing a defiant grin; like many politicians, he can smile on cue, whatever his inner feelings. He emerged from a closed meeting of the Democratic Caucus to report, "I told them I intend to fight and I intend to win." He renewed a demand that the ethics committee call a hearing at which...

...Wright investigation began last June when Republicans, stung by the improprieties of Mike Deaver and Ed Meese, set out to make sleaze a bipartisan issue. As the highest-ranking Democrat, Wright, whose slicked-back hair, caterpillar eyebrows and leering grin give him the look of a wheeler-dealer, was a good target. After revelations of an unusual deal in which a Texas publisher paid Wright 55% royalties -- three or four times the usual rate -- for a collection of the Speaker's speeches and anecdotes, Common Cause and 72 Republicans asked the House Ethics Committee to investigate...

...partner, E.D.F. lawyer Tom Graff, headed from their Oakland office down Highway 5 to dicker with irrigation districts on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. An odd pair: Willey, somewhere over 6 ft. 5 in. in his cowboy boots, lean, green-eyed and with an easy grin; Graff, short and with a squared-off boxer's nose, but unpugnacious. As environmentalists go, they speak softly and strangely: California water distribution suffers under misguided socialist precepts, they argue.

...from disciples of Robbins, most can't act very well, and there is not one striking singer in the entire company. The most problematic is Robert + La Fosse, a New York City Ballet star who moves gloriously but whose facial expression seems limited to a scowl and a simpering grin. Jason Alexander, who serves as narrator and plays seven characters, has wit, charm and the requisite razzmatazz -- his parts in Forum and Fiddler were played by Zero Mostel -- but lacks the star attribute of effortless ease. Yet if Robbins has not unearthed the treasure trove that many hoped...
