...That man doesn't look like me at all!" snapped Katharine Hepburn, 66, dismissing her double from the sets of Olly Olly Oxen Free. A family-style adventure story in which she plays an eccentric lady junk dealer, the film has her working with Movie Novices Kevin Mc-Kenzie and Dennis Dimster, both eleven, an English sheep dog named Obie and a 70-ft. gas-filled balloon. Miffed by the idea of a male stand-in for the action scenes, she has also been doing her own acrobatics, which have included dangling 100 ft. above ground from the balloon...
...commission sharply criticizes the political leaders in troubled Boston and Louisville. Elected officials in Louisville, the report finds, "abdicated their responsibility to maintain law and order" during the busing violence last year. Boston Mayor Kevin White and the city council, says the commission, displayed a "virtual total lack of support for court desegregation orders" that "reinforced the view that desegregation would never come to pass...

In short, Carter appears to be beating the Republicans at their own conservative game?a considerable political feat for a candidate who also takes many conventionally liberal stands...
...Republican Party has also been laggard in recruiting an even more crucial ally: the big-city ethnic voter who has grown increasingly disillusioned with the Democratic Party and more conservative in his outlook. Back in 1968 Republican theorists like Kevin Phillips were urging the G.O.P. politicians to offer some programs that would appeal to urban Catholics, whether Irish, Italian, Polish, Hungarian, or Czech. In his latest book, The Mediacracy, Phillips writes that traditional Republicans and ethnics have a common enemy in the new "knowledge-sector elite"?liberals and Big Government, education, foundations and the press, who tend to belittle...
