...played Miss Julie at Vassar. Beginning her professional stage career in New York only four years ago, she conquered prized roles in Shakespeare (Measure for Measure, Henry V, The Taming of the Shrew), Chekhov (The Cherry Orchard) and Brecht-Weill (Happy End), as well as in works by Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. This repertory training came to Meryl because she was ready for it; her education went on in public, but critics and audiences did the learning. Director Arvin Brown expresses what threatens to become a bromide when he calls her "the most talented actress of her generation...

The two men had already left for Iran when Khomeini announced that he would not meet with them. The White House told them to remain in Istanbul until the situation became clearer...
...Robert Georgine warned that President Carter's pledge to his workers to "not fight inflation with your jobs" would be recalled, perhaps vengefully, by blue-collar voters in next year's primaries. Carter's chief economic adviser Charles Schültze and Treasury Secretary G. William Miller began privately hinting that they had worries about the intensity of the Volcker program, and former Fed Chairman Miller made a gratuitous dig at his successor: "Had I stayed at the Fed, my timing would have been different...
