...played well in Peoria, the largest town in his 18th Congressional District in central Illinois. Now Peoria seems to be having its doubts. Long a pocket of prosperity in America's heartland, the region is reeling from depressed farm prices and 16% unemployment. The Pabst brewery and the Hiram Walker distillery have left town, and giant Caterpillar Tractor alone has laid off 8,000 workers. So Michel, 59, the House minority leader and President Reagan's high-profile point man on Capitol Hill, is in an unexpectedly tight race with a relative unknown, Democrat G. Douglas Stephens. Michel...
...oblivious, infighting villians. The U.S. Army fares a bit poorer, though, again due to the failings of the book. Sellon has deliberately written the show without any main characters, and thus the three U.S.O. couples are not developed as separate entities to a sufficient degree.

...companies like Alcan Aluminium, Seagram and Massey-Ferguson have been selling south of their border for decades. But the big push started in the 1970s.

...pesky psychological climate is overhanging the securities markets. Complains Hiram Moody, of the trust and investment division at New York City's Morgan Guaranty Trust Co.: "Everybody's hyper. I mean, first you are worried about the economy's going to be too strong and you are going to have inflation, and then you worry, my God, we are going to drop off into a mini-recession or worse. The worries change, but what remains constant is the worry -a generalized kind of worry, a malaise, a free-floating anxiety...
Cordials, too, are increasingly popular. Sales of Seagram's Leroux liqueurs in 50 flavors are growing at a rate of 7%. The company's imported labels -Vandermint, Sabra-are also doing nicely. Hiram Walker, one of the largest sellers of liqueurs in the U.S., came out last year with its 30th flavor-Swiss chocolate almond. A subsidiary of Jack Daniel Distillery markets 27 flavors of Bols liqueurs; National Distillers' De Kuyper collection has 39 flavors...
