...immediate cause of Desai's ire was Narain's repeated demands for the resignation of Janata Party President Chandra Shekhar, who is Desai's personal protégé. The Health Minister had accused Chandra Shekhar of political intrigue and undemocratic behavior. But as Desai fully realized, Narain's real target was not Chandra Shekhar but Desai himself. Rising to the challenge, the Prime Minister announced that Chandra Shekhar would remain in place and called upon top Janata leaders to rebuke the obstreperous Narain...
Lanky, stooped and with an incongruous shock of white in his dark hair, Moro was the antithesis of the political emotionalism that had branded the Fascist years. Soft-spoken and self-effacing, he was a protégé of Alcide de Gasperi, Italy's first postwar Premier. In political style, he was a conciliator, dedicated to the art of the possible, with a gift for fashioning ambiguous phrases that could be used to cloak disagreement. One of his most famous was "parallel convergences," which he used to describe the center-left formula for the 1963 D.C.-Socialist coalition...
...Wanna Hold Your Hand is an abundantly dizzy comedy set on that famous February weekend when "Beatlemania" invaded the U.S. Written and directed by two 26-year-old protégés of Director Steven Spielberg (the film's executive producer), it tells the story of a gaggle of suburban teen-agers who will stop at nothing to see the Beatles in person during their maiden visit to New York.

...Anthony Lake, 39. Once a Kissinger protégé at the National Security Council, Lake quit the NSC over the Nixon Administration's decision to invade Cambodia and was later wiretapped at Kissinger's suggestion. Now he is director of policy planning and most closely involved with formulating U.S. policy on Africa. Before his appointment by Carter, he wrote The "Tar Baby" Option, a book cautioning against American involvement in Africa on the side of white minority governments-a warning being heeded by the Carter Administration. Lake is responsible for offering long-term policy options to Vance...
...client would not be returning to the U.S.S.R. because of "differences with his government." Shevchenko was by far the most important Soviet diplomat to have defected to the West, and the news caused consternation at the U.N., intense alarm in Moscow, and scarcely concealed elation in Washington. A protégé of Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, and Moscow's top-ranking official on the U.N. staff, Shevchenko was privy to many of his country's secrets, including the inner workings of Kremlin foreign policy making. Moreover, as a disarmament specialist serving as Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim...
