...Feste, Charles Levin tries hard but falls short. For one thing, he isn't much of a singel. He and his two assisting musicians (lyre, mandoline and lute) get little help from Richard Cumming's songs, though Cumming has furnished fine instrumental scene-links for horn and woodwind...
...Mondale go home" demonstrations by members of the religious nationalist Gush Emunim group, which has sponsored a number of West Bank settlements. On one occasion, a police truck was used to transport demonstrators to different spots along the Vice President's route, where the noise from shouting and horn honking frequently drowned out Mondale's conversations with his hosts.

Kraft can dispose of Jerry Brown one day, the Federal Reserve or neutron bomb the next, argue in another column that Carter follows "a policy of divine misguidance" (he has from the beginning condescended to Carter), then emplane to the Horn of Africa to see things for himself. Kraft talks to everybody and is well informed, but his judgments are made on the wing and are frequently undeserving of such certitude. David Broder, the "most respected" of reporters, confines himself to the U.S. political scene he knows so well and mines...
