...what bettors would call a mortal lock to win the Democratic nomination. The latest Field poll has the Governor running about 45 points ahead of his nearest rival, Novelist Gore Vidal, 56, who refers to Brown as "Lord of the Flies"-a snide reference to last summer's Mediterranean fruit-fly crisis. At the moment, Brown trails all three top prospective G.O.P. opponents in the polls. However, the Governor has a $2 million campaign fund and is a formidable vote getter when he steers clear of moonbeam topics, a mistake he makes far less often than he did when...
...could have concealed a good-size hacksaw, Sophia was cheered by fellow inmates as she was escorted to a 10-ft.-sq. cell. Skeptics attributed Loren's homecoming to her planned starring role in a film that starts shooting in Italy next month.

Cunard lost $3.5 million in revenues from the Mediterranean cruise it was forced to cancel but, like the other ship owners, expects to be fully compensated for whatever losses it incurs. Says an aide to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher: "This has been very good for the merchant navy. They haven't had it so good for years...
...including those made in Geneva. It is not always change for the worse: war in the past has been constructive and necessary sometimes-one reason why it is so morally difficult to know what to do with it now in a nuclear age. The Battle of Salamis saved the Mediterranean for Greek civilization. World War II aligned good against evil more neatly than life has come to expect...
