...stars included three equally colorful New York politicians, who look upon Murdoch's New York Post with a mixture of fear and favor: Daniel Moynihan, the professorial Senator up for re-election; Alfonse D'Amato, his scrappy colleague; and Ed Koch, the loquacious mayor who is ever eager to jump into a fray. The issues: truth, justice and the American Way. And power...
...high is up? It might be better to ask how high movie ticket prices can rise, because the sky seems to be the limit. In December two theater chains raised prices from $6 to $7 at 48 screens in Manhattan.

Even Bugs Bunny has to hop aside when Brer Rabbit comes by. The big-eared varmint has been a folk hero since early slave days, and his sly outwitting of bullies and bosses is history disguised in fur and interpreted by the victims. Jump Again! (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich; $14.95) demonstrates that a classic offers something fresh to each generation. This time it is Van Dyke Parks' riotous retelling and Barry Moser's elegant watercolors.
