...running for his second three-year term, had to seem like a shoo-in. There were, after all, only nine candidates in the race: Kissinger, former Treasury Secretary W. Michael Blumenthal, 55, Xerox Chairman C. Peter McColough, 58, Citibank Chairman Walter Wriston, 61, Economist Marina von Neumann Whitman, 46, Chicago Sun-Times Publisher James Hoge, 45, former State Department Official William Rogers, 54, Washington Post Columnist Philip Geyelin, 58, and former Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, 64. But when the vote was announced last week-gasp -Kissinger was dead last. Said one council member: "It just stood...
Some avoided the paradox, supported by progressive parents who dispelled the notion that a woman had to choose between a career and motherhood. Marina von Neumann Whitman, for example, credits her family's unspoken "assumption that anyone with talent could succeed" with her ability to persevere despite the "conflicting signals" at Radcliffe. Radcliffe gave a wonderful intellectual freedom as well as the expectation that we automatically had to be mothers. This we either didn't notice or took for granted." says Whitman, who was recently named vice president and chief economist of the General Motors Corporation after being a protessor...
...choice as Ambassador to Ireland. Several other appointments are now said to be in the works: Brent Scowcroft, 56, former National Security Adviser under President Ford, as Ambassador to the Soviet Union; John J.

...stage, keeping our interest with visual mayhem but accentuating the fragmentary nature of the dialogue. Stephen Rowe and Tony Shalhoub, as Joe and Wes, try mightily to keep things going, but with little success. Some awkward pace changes contribute to the difficulty, and the act sags until Frederick Neumann, as the John Huston-like director John Bean, takes things over. Neumann shines as the horny, hearty old American ("It's a simple name--I am a simple man.") whose vision of the revolution comprises mostly blood and tits; his prostrated plea for directorship of the film salvages the first...
Mostly, though, Has "Washington" Legs? happily serves as a vehicle for Frederick Neumann as John Bean and for ART's Jeremy Geidt, as Sir Flute Parsons. Here is Neumann, wrapped in a cloak and his own stoic machismo, surveying the troops at night--"I am afraid, Joe," he says deeply, slowly--and then doubling over in agony when told he cannot have the final cut: "You have cut off my balls, Joe. My Balls!" Here is Geidt, prancing on tiptoes, delivering an hilarious monologue on what America means to him (mostly strapping young boys), and miming his way through Washington...
