...otherwise worked together. Explains Gleason: "The only way Art and I could do something, to play characters who were not the Honeymooners, was if we did real people." This month they got their chance. They are filming a TV movie about two famed undercover Prohibition agents, Izzy Einstein and Moe Smith. The two ham it up in the disguises used by the flamboyant peace officers, though no one pretends the parts will supplant their earlier incarnations. Ralph, by the way, plays Izzy, and Ed plays Moe...
Labor officials helped Walter Mondale win the Democratic presidential nomination last year. Now the presidents of three federal unions have learned that their support may cost them their Government jobs. Kenneth T. Blaylock of the American Federation of Government Employees, Moe Biller of the American Postal Workers Union and Vincent R. Sombrotto of the National Association of Letter Carriers were told to resign or retire from federal employment by Feb. 26 or face charges under the 1939 Hatch Act, which bars federal employees from "partisan political advocacy." The advisory was issued by the Office of the Special Counsel, the enforcement...
...Valley Girl, has gone legit. This week California's Berkeley Symphony Orchestra performs the world premiere of A Zappa Affair, a program of four short ballets.

Moe's company makes seals for the ball bearings used in American-made autos, and the Japanese invasion of the U.S. market bothers him. Now he has decided to stop it the only place he can: at the edge of Delta's parking lot. Since Jan. 1, suppliers arriving in Toyotas and their ilk have had to look elsewhere for a space. The only exception: Delta employees who already owned Japanese cars, but no 1983 models, please...
...Moe says that the last straw came when he arrived at a wedding reception last year and found Japanese cars in all the parking places. That helped provoke him to impose the ban. As he puts it, "It's time Americans supported Americans. The job you save may be your own." Delta workers are understandably sympathetic to Moe's logic, so much so that more and more of them are dropping by local showrooms to see what Detroit has to offer. Moe drives a Chevrolet Corvette, but he admits, somewhat sheepishly, to owning a twelve-year-old Sony...
