...Kemp-Garcia plan, like so many of the president's initiatives, is merely a sop to what budget director Stockman recently called the "hogs" of American business. Full employment--not the welfare of General Motors--must be our nation's top economic priority. We reiterate our support for the Humphrey-Hawkins full employment proposal, and urge the Democrats to devise creative alternatives to the Reagan tax-break smoke screen...
...easy to dismiss the free enterprise zone plan out of hand because it does not conform to traditional Democratic ideas of how unemployment should be confronted. Reagan, however, is not about to endorse Humphrey-Hawkins, and realistically, Congress is not about to pass it. The people who are suggesting enterprise zones were elected with a mandate to change the New Deal approach to social services. The conservative plan may fail totally, and then we'll be rid of it, but as long as it has noble intentions--as this one seems to--it should be allowed to fail honestly...
...zany and offbeat are also well represented on tape. British Comic Terry-Thomas is ideally cast as the reader of two "Jeeves" tales by P.G. Wodehouse (Caedmon; $12.95). Ariel, a new label, offers, among others, Humphrey Bogart as Hotspur in Henry IV on its two-volume Shakespeare in Hollywood set.

BLOODSUCKERS FROM FRANCE "If there's anything in the world I hate, it's leeches-filthy little devils!" Humphrey Bogart growled in The African Queen.

But even for them leeches have long been associated with archaic medical practices, like bloodletting to cure everything from gout to mental illness. Lately, however, the unlovable little creatures have been having a minor revival. At New York's Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center doctors are using them effectively to help save reattached...
Minneapolis named its new $55 million stadium after a delightfully long-winded favorite son. So it was no small irony that the roof of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome collapsed for lack of hot air. Two months ago, the stadium's ten-acre nylon cover was inflated with electric fans. Then a heavy snow came unexpectedly early: a hot-air melting system was not yet in full operation. The fabric big top sagged under the weight of the slush, then tore, and finally drooped to within 60 ft. of the field. It took four days to repair...
