...outward calm and deliberate style made George Shultz a reassuring replacement for the mercurial Alexander Haig as Secretary of State. But lately, signs of testiness have pierced Shultz's placidity. After one outburst, Democratic Congressman Michael Barnes observed, "That was not the George Shultz we have come to know and love. It was the living ghost of Al Haig...
...which the Soviet Union is interfering in the election campaign and the internal politics of the Federal Republic of Germany." That unusually tough declaration came late last week from Jürgen Sudhoff, a spokesman for Chancellor Helmut Kohl's Christian Democratic coalition. The reason for the outburst: Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko's appeal to West Europeans to show "political maturity" by disavowing the U.S. bargaining position at the Geneva talks on intermediate-range missiles. The Soviet statement was seen as a blatant boost for Hans-Jochen Vogel, 57, the opposition's Social Democratic candidate...
...rubbishy News of the World called Dempster's outburst rubbish too. Like Whitaker, he is unruffled. Royal-watchers tend to identify themselves with the family and even imagine that they are on intimate terms. "She should be brought up short," the avuncular Dempster explains.

She is showing more interest in Charles' hobbies. She is wearing the same clothes over again. What I am saying...

Nelligan consistently underplays her anger and terror, adeptly portraying a woman who bottles everything up. But when she cracks, in a brutal verbal battle with her husband (David Dukes) in a restaurant. Jaffe seems to avert the camera, weakening the scene's impact...
What lay behind Korniyenko's initial outburst? Soviet officials explained, with some embarrassment, that Korniyenko had simply been spouting on his own. Said a Soviet journalist: "It was a bureaucratic screw-up." Perhaps. Although Soviet trade officials were taking the American businessmen aside last week and telling them to ignore Korniyenko's speech, no one could be sure that it had not been intended as a deliberate warning that, however much Andropov may want to ease tensions with the U.S., he will not do so at the cost of abandoning fundamental Soviet policies...
