Donald Regan never knew the name of the "Friend," as Nancy Reagan referred to her astrologer. But TIME learned last week that she is Nob Hill Socialite Joan Quigley, sixtyish, a Vassar graduate who has written three books on astrology (see story on page...
Such a stroke of honesty is alone enough to commend this good little British picture. But it is almost the least of its virtues. The mobsters force an alcoholic computer engineer named Hiller (played with a wonderfully watery passivity by Bernard Hill) to act as their "bellman," or alarm-system neutralizer. His only virtue is his devotion to his stepson (Kieran O'Brien), who has no name but the one we impute to him: True. He is a wise, sober child, spunky and devoted to the man who takes responsibility for him when both are deserted by the child...
Gorey, who wrote the reminiscence of Bobby Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign in this week's issue, moved to Washington for TIME in 1965.

Like an Ollie North of the pinstripe set, Michael Milken was the biggest draw on Capitol Hill last week, even though he barely said a word. Eager for a rare glimpse of perhaps the most powerful financier in the U.S., a crowd began to gather at dawn outside the House hearing room where he was to appear. The spectacle, however, was short-lived. The hearing promptly adjourned after Milken, 41, refused three times to answer questions, claiming his Fifth Amendment right to protection from self-incrimination...
