...like you is something else, something more difficult to define: a gift, a charm, a comedic sex appeal. Murphy's bad-boy street patter, with four-letter words used less to shock or threaten than to salt his jokes with the rhythm of machismo, carries with it an inner-city demand for respect.

Lexington, Ky., has always had a pretty high opinion of itself.

The Soviet weekly New Times, for example, took some uncomradely potshots at Polityka, a moderate Polish weekly that is thought to represent the views of some members of Jaruzelski's inner circle. The Moscow publication bluntly stated that Polityka, and by implication the Jaruzelski regime, had lost its bearings and seemed intent on making Poland "a land of pluralism." That message has not been lost on the hard-liners in Poland's divided and demoralized Communist Party. Jaruzelski has rebuffed...
