...whining, complaining nuisance. He improves rapidly, however, and by the cathartic third act we must believe that Arnold is indeed very proud of what he is, what he does, and what he wants to do. He doesn't want the squalor of the back room bars; he wants a neat apartment near a park, a nice place where he can build his family. Adler quite successfully reveals Arnold's inner strength, a resolve developed through years of taunts, ridicule, and disapproval, and shows it to us with a candor and sincerity which is both disarming and comfortably appealing...
Issues of substance lie on the table of presidential action. Ronald Reagan had a neat, three-sided diagram of the future in his first election: to reduce inflation, re-establish U.S. defense and balance the budget. But the triangle would not join, and through the gap in its apex, there ballooned a budget deficit of terrifying dimensions.

The country has shaken off the national malaise that the Carter-Alondale Administration created to explain its own failings. The last majority of Americans would answer a resounding...
...upbeat situation, I think it's a mystical experience that cannot be defined." In Pontiac, Mich., black Bookkeeper Mary Williams, 55, lives in a neat, integrated neighborhood. She is not poor, but neither is she glad about the state of the nation. A New York Times survey last fall found that only 35% of blacks said they were "very patriotic," compared with 56% of whites. In Fairmont, W. Va., Olympic Gymnast Mary Lou Retton's home town, people are brimming with pride, of course. Yet unemployment is running at 10%, and as Mayor Gregory Hinton says, "Patriotism does...
