...getting close to Jesse Jackson. He is a man perpetually in motion." White began last month in Atlanta at the annual convention of Operation PUSH (People United to Serve Humanity), founded and led by Jackson, who also appeared on TIME'S cover in 1970. Jackson set a fleet pace as he spoke at nearly every session and constantly talked with reporters in crowded lobbies and hallways and in his 70th-floor suite.

Brenneman especially shines in her solo, "Who Stole the Tarts," a song about the procedings of her trial as a pastry thief.

...first by the quality of Japanese cameras, then TV sets, then cars and stereo equipment, are now beginning to hear about another top-quality product: the education system that has produced so much success. Amidst cries in the U.S. of "back to basics" and "on to excellence," the rigorous pace and pressure of Japan's schools, the required curriculum and the unquestioned authority of teacher over pupil all possess an appeal for Americans who have heard some thing of how Japanese education works and who remember some-thing of how U.S. education used to.
