...Moon over Parador, for he and Co-Writer Leon Capetanos had a nice idea. An actor named Jack Noah (Richard Dreyfuss), who has worked up a party- stunt imitation of the mythical Parador's strongman, is working in that country on the day el Jefe dies of a heart attack. Recruited to replace him by the ruling families, who fear a revolution, Jack finds, as others before him have, that playing President is an actor's dream: all entrances and cheering multitudes...
THIS spring's unionization drive by Harvard's 4000 clerical and technical workers prompted another disappointing example of the administration's inability to act in accordance with its own ideals. President Bok had been a forceful supporter of unions as a law professor. But he made a change of heart when it affected his own workforce; the latest example was when he came out against last year's unionization effort. He marshalled an anti-union propaganda machine--writing two anti-union letters himself, sponsoring work-time meetings between administrators and workers, and issuing anti-union pamphets packed with misleading graphs...

Unless Washington has a change of heart, each of the 50 states must act to fill the void or the lack of cash may shorten thousands of lives...

Alluding to the demand for the legalization of Solidarity, Government Spokesman Jerzy Urban ruled out "gunpoint negotiations with strikers on political issues." A curfew was called in the heart of the mining-strike region near Katowice, and others were authorized for the port cities of Szczecin and Gdansk. After declaring the strikes illegal, authorities accelerated trials, and jail sentences of up to three months were imposed on charged strikers...
...notion that one can die of a broken heart is embedded in folklore. A number of medical studies have supported that view, indicating that widows and widowers are at increased risk of untimely death. But the idea that grief kills has recently come under fire. The increase in premature mortality, say some experts, now seems to be smaller than commonly believed and more apt to involve people already vulnerable. For example: couples who share the same hazards, such as smoking and poor diet...
