...ALBERT MURRAY, 60, novelist and essayist: Certain regional characteristics will be maintained. Southern belles won't give up those accents because they're smart and know it often helps to sound dumb. But young liberal Southerners are rejecting the views-especially about race-of their Confederate ancestors. For the first time since the failure of the old Populist movement, we've got a workable coalition of poor whites, liberal whites and minorities. Jimmy Carter's manhood is entwined with Andrew Young's, just like Huck Finn's was with...

Taking Don Murray's old role in Bus Stop is just a passing thing for him. Travolta is best known as Vinnie Barbarino, the tough, macho "Sweathog" in ABC's hit series Welcome Back, Kotter. The show is an updated version of Happy Days, a genial exercise in instant nostalgia, and Vinnie Barbarino is barely distinguishable from Arthur Fonzarelli, a.k.a. the Fonz...
