Such turnabouts have seemed appropriate to Panama lately. Since former Strongman General Omar Torrijos Herrera and his 13-year one-man rule were brought to an abrupt end by a plane crash in 1981, the country seems to have been playing musical executive chairs. In less than three years, Panama has had three presidents, all in office with the blessings of the military. But that could change with the presidential election scheduled for May 6, the first such election after 16 years of military-backed governments. The Reagan Administration does not view the resignation with any great alarm, encouraged that...
...snowsuits looked so much like space suits, it might have been a wedding on the moon. Italians tossed snappy striped mufflers over their shoulders. The Canadians came as red-hooded Santas. Four men from Lebanon, all mustachioed, worked up small smiles. And, after cloaked Moroccans in bright burnooses, a one-man band ambled by: George Tucker, the famed Puerto Rican luger (win some, luge some) from Albany, N.Y. With "brakes on all the way," he breathlessly completed the necessary two qualifying runs, in which no particular times are necessary but survival is required. A chilled crowd, about 55,000 strong...

The company had to call in a management firm to locate some 48 engineering groups in the U.S. It found a one-man operation in Louisville, apparently there because that was where the engineer preferred to live. The company had five finance departments, each with its own legal and personnel offices, three model shops and three mechanical-engineering units. Three or four sections worked on the same project, independent of each other...
...McKellen is perhaps the most respected classical actor of his generation in England (and the creator, on Broadway, of the sinuous Salieri in Ama-deus), but an adolescent's enthusiasm and wonder animate every moment of Ian McKellen Acting Shakespeare, the one-man divertissement in which he opened last week on Broadway for a five-week engagement. First concocted in 1976 and intermittently toured ever since, the show is an amalgam of personal reminiscences, theatrical lore and selections from Will Shakespeare's Greatest Hits. It gives McKellen a sort of actor's holiday untrammeled by directorial "concepts...
