...Anderson they found a man who supports the Panama Canal and SALT II treaties, gun control, the Equal Rights Amendment and some forms of school-busing, and who opposes the MX missile, B-1 bomber and selective service registration. His record on civil rights has been particularly distinguished; it was his vote in April, 1968 that allowed President Johnson's open housing bill to get through the Rules Committee. But on the economy, the domestic policy area over which a president has most direct control, Anderson remains a conservative, a man who believes a balanced budget is the primary goal...
...turns out to be Tallulah Bankhead. In an audience with Mussolini, he feeds il Duce a line for a speech. He sits for Picasso, who sees him 24 different ways. Round the world he goes, bumping over the Alps in a cargo plane, hopping a banana boat in Panama, crossing Siberia on a dingy train. Wherever he stops, he is taken up by the wealthy and titled, and he embraces their patronage uncritically: he recalls not a single knave or bore among them...
...Khomeini's revolutionary courts. The Ayatullah, who gave his blessing to the capture, has made impossible and even insulting demands for the hostages' release: that the U.S. return deposed Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi to Iran for trial and no doubt execution, even though the Shah is now in Panama; that America submit to a trial of its "crimes" against Iran before an international "grand jury" picked by Khomeini's aides. He claimed that Iran had every legal and moral right to try America's hostage diplomats, an action that would defy a decision of the World Court, a vote...
...most issues Anderson talks more like a Democrat than a Republican.

He supports the Equal Rights Amendment and federally funded abortions. He backs the Panama Canal Treaties and SALT II. He has committed the unthinkable act for a presidential candidate of proposing a 50?-per-gal. tax on gasoline to reduce consumption. That would be offset by a 50% cut in Social Security taxes. "What we need," he says, "is not the quick, easy...
...Shah's own security staff of eight has already been beefed up by at least 50 members of Panama's guardia. So far, the Shah has ventured out rarely, but when he goes out for the simplest of reasons, so goes the entourage: when he walked his Great Dane on the island's main beach last week, ten security men walked with hun and a red sedan filled with more guards drove behind. It is a measure of the Shah's exile that in those circumstances any place can feel like home...
