Taking a more realistic tack, Howard Baker has promised that the new Congress will take up a jobs measure similar to the one Reagan threatened to veto...
Then, every once in a rare while, one arrives in style, its owner-drivers still glaring angrily at one another, but somehow the better for its terrible travails. These are the miracles of the industry, the stuff of Hollywood legends. This year's miracle is called Tootsie. It is not just the best comedy of the year; it is popular art on the way to becoming cultural artifact...
