...funeral march but the critics have been comparing it to the latest posthumously popularized group Joy Division. It sounds to me like Eno's obsession, Ambient Music. In concept, Ambient Music attempts to create the ambience of listening to music without the music. In practice, it sounds like a kitchen with all the electric appliances on. The fact that Eno has released about ten albums in the last five years using a concept good for two albums at the most, combined with the realization that Devo, Roxy Music and even the Talking Heads have all released superior albums...
Eventually Reagan will have to fill 3,000 Government posts. To help him choose candidates for the top 50 or so positions quickly, he has given semiofficial status to his kitchen cabinet, composed mostly of longtime California business men friends. They dominate an 18-member Transition Appointments Committee, which is meeting in Los Angeles under the direction of William French Smith, Reagan's personal lawyer and a potential Attorney General...
...bathtub rings and battle waxy buildup. "She's the kind of person who is going to make the best of it," explains Comedian Lily Tomlin, who plays Kramer in The Incredible Shrinking Woman, a film due for release in January.

With a wild eye and a remarkable range of voices, Mann holds the audience's attention and summons into the theater the images in Stoppard's oration. The transition from Bernard's somnolent maunderings to Arthur's vigorous gesticulating ought to develop more gradually, however...
Political Consultant Stuart Spencer is returning to private business in California, but is expected to retain a chair in Reagan's kitchen Cabinet. So is Richard Wirthlin, Reagan's talented pollster. Also likely to be called on for political advice is Nevada Senator Paul Laxalt, who is a close friend. Three women are slated for Cabinet or sub-Cabinet positions. Two are Republicans: Anne Armstrong, former co-chairman of the G.O.P. National Committee and Ambassador to Britain; and Elizabeth Dole, wife of Senator Robert Dole and a former member of the Federal Trade Commission. The Democrat is Jeane...
