...saying that pretty soon Jimmy Carter would take hold of things. Six months ago we were saying that pretty soon Jimmy Carter would take hold of things. Now we are saying that pretty soon Jimmy Carter had damn well better take hold of things." Some Democratic congressional leaders in particular warn that they have just about given up on the President. Says one top congressional insider, gloomier and grouchier than most: "The possibility of rapport is gone. Like a bad marriage, it's just gone sour beyond repair." Dissatisfaction and discouragement are showing up even inside the White House...
...what seems to upset the Administration most is the chronic Soviet repression of dissent-and what upsets the Soviets most is the White House attacks on that repression.

Their businesses, from boutiques to watering places, are conducted with Continental cachet. While the new Americans often get together for social occasions that may include an afternoon of soccer, an evening...
...chief shortcoming of the production is the atrocious Malvolio perpetrated by Bob Dishy. This is a particular disappointment after the fine Malvolios that Josef Sommer and Philip Kerr acted on the same stage in 1966 and 1974. And the role of this egotistical killjoy is so important that in the 17th century the play was sometimes billed as Malvolio...
