Helms' triumph was something of an illusion. He had considerable help from Senate Republican leaders, who were edgy at the thought of a Helms filibuster. In addition, Republican Senators Malcolm Wallop and Orrin Hatch were going after the nomination of Richard Burt, whose appointment as Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs has been pending for nearly four months. Both Hatch and Helms claim that in 1979 Burt, then a New York Times correspondent in Washington, revealed classified information in his paper. For that, Hatch and Helms contend Burt should be disqualified from a sensitive post at State...

From the day in November 1975 when Governor-General Sir John Kerr sacked Prime Minister Gough Whitlam of the leftist Labor Party and replaced him with Opposition Leader Malcolm Fraser of the Liberal Party, allegations have surfaced that the CIA had a hand in Whitlam's fall.

She migrated to Greenwich Village in 1919, later reviewed books for Malcolm Cowley at the New Republic...
...score, mostly original music performed by his band. The Police, with additional numbers by Squeeze and the Go Go's, fails to match the mood and action of the film, adding to the disjointed impression. Sting's contribution as an actor, however, is excellent. He carries the Malcolm McDowell villainous schoolboy role a step or two higher in intensity: in fact, the two even resemble each other somewhat physically, especially in the cold glare of the eyes. Denholm Elliott characterized every feature of Thomas to perfection, and Joan Plowright manages to make her character warm and sympathetic under the circumstances...
