...only as a pop singer who made pretty records. The Master of Ear Candy, shallow and self-indulgent if catchy and commercial -- and, of course, never as good as his now dead collaborator, Lennon. McCartney's critics forget that he was the prime force behind such songs as Hey Jude, The Long and Winding Road, Penny Lane, Eleanor Rigby and Let It Be. Post-Beatles, he was the most successful survivor, with 17 gold albums and hits like Band on the Run, Ebony and Ivory, Say Say Say and the James Bond theme Live and Let Die. McCartney shallow...
...Seven Fat Years, Bartley calls for a return to the policies that, he says, made the '80s a glorious epoch. Packed with statistics and sometimes eye-glazing arguments, the book tells how Bartley and such fellow supply- siders as economist Arthur Laffer and journalist Jude Wanniski cooked up the recipe for Reaganomics over meals at a Wall Street watering hole called Michael 1.

Tsongas got it right when he referred to his supporters as "true believers" and reminded them, "When I was cast aside, you took me in; you gave me sustenance...
...intriguing watchdog publication is the Repap Media Guide, a mammoth annual affair that rates publications and journalists as if they were low-fat frozen yogurts. (Repap is the name of the Canadian paper company that underwrites the project.) The guide is compiled by former Wall Street Journal editorial writer Jude Wanniski, who helped convince Ronald Reagan of the merits of supply-side economics and has spent a good deal of time ever since trying to persuade the public that the deficits thus created do not really matter...
