Small favors can also loom large in an off-year election. Carter pleased Chicago Mayor Michael Bilandic by inviting him to fly aboard Air Force One to attend Pope Paul's funeral last August. The President will spend the night at Bilandic's home when he campaigns in Chicago in early November. But in Ohio Carter irritated Cuyahoga County Chairman Tim Hagan by inviting Cleveland Mayor Dennis Kucinich to the White House. The hotheaded young mayor has antagonized Hagan and other party leaders by refusing to endorse most of the local Democrats. Last week Hagan joined other Democrats...
There are cases, obviously, where sexual entanglements do occur. It appears, however, that even intraservice marriage can be penalized. At the Army's Fort Devens, Captain Michael Jalinsky, a West Pointer with an impressive record, was abruptly relieved of his command of a company and made the "alcohol and drug officer," a post that will not enhance his military career. The reason for his setback: he married Sergeant Sue-Anne Pierce and thus violated his post commander's dictum against "fraternization" between officers and lower ranks...
...disastrous Sunday, Korchnoi lost twice to Karpov in the space of an hour. The anguished challenger fled to Manila, where he encountered Steven Michael Dwyer and Victoria Sheppard, members of Ananda Marga, a yoga-practicing Indian sect. The two young Americans were out on bail, appealing a conviction for stabbing an Indian embassy official.

Back in Baguio City, with the yoga experts in tow, Korchnoi mounted a surprising offensive, winning four of the next 14 games, to even...
...turned hundreds of juvenile spray-paint vandals into graffiti figures. The yellow brick road leads across the Brooklyn Bridge to the World Trade Center, where Richard Pryor reigns as the Wiz. But before Dorothy gets there, she meets a roarious but cowardly lion (Ted Ross) and a marvelous scarecrow (Michael Jackson), hung up on his pole and tormented by rascally birds. Jackson sings a piteous lament, to the effect that "you can't win, you can't break even, and you can't get out of the game." Wiz Composer Charlie Smalls is a gifted comic writer...
...Hitchcock film. (Pinter, like Hitchcock, even used a "McGufinn" -in this case, the alleged Leeds affair -to get his narrative rolling.) PBS's version of the play, imported from England's Granada International Television for the Great Performances series, may well be the definitive production. Director Michael Apted has obtained a riveting ensemble performance from a dream cast: Laurence Olivier, Alan Bates, Malcolm McDowell and Helen Mirren. Though it is difficult to capture the physical tension of Pinter characters on a small television screen, Apted grips the audience with a judicious use of tight closeups, clever editing...
