Hispanic Americans are learning how to organize and how to win a hearing. Jimmy Carter has taken note of these stirrings; he proclaimed one week last month to be National Hispanic Heritage Week and sent tape-recorded greetings in his unpolished Spanish to Hispanic communities across the land. First Lady Rosalynn Carter underlined those saludos by appearing at a Washington fund raiser for Congress's five-member Hispanic Caucus...
...subtly satirical yet never vicious tone that has a delicacy not often found in American films.

Jacob Javits (a jai-alai player...

The last time the Dead played Boston was at the Garden two years ago: a most disappointing show, due mainly to the cavernous nature of that ice rink/basketball court/circus arena which is periodically converted into a pitiful excuse for a theater. (A note to freshmen unacquainted with the Boston music scene: avoid the Garden at all costs, even if Barry Manilow is playing there...
