Furloughed. But basically McCarthy's approach to the electorate remains the same. He got into the campaign last Nov. 30 almost as his own second choice, implying that he would have stood aside for Kennedy. He still manages to sound strangely devoid of the lust for power. "I don't think you ought to want it in terms of personal desire or aspiration," he said on a recent television show, "but I'm quite willing to be President." He hints that one term might satisfy him: "If you can't do it in four...
...into the broken mirror of his life and gleaned the terrifying knowledge that he is "irredeemably mediocre." With an irascible wit and a fanged tongue, he spews out tirades of paranoia.

...decade ago, this kind of love play would have been hard to find outside the confines of mephitic movie houses that feature such titles as The Orgy at Lil's Place and Lust Weekend. Now, however, Therese and Isabelle is appearing in the same kind of neighborhood art house that in better days showed films by Antonioni and Godard. In short, the old skinema is putting on airs and is making a bid for the middle-class matron in the afternoon and the middle-class couple at night...
