...could attempt to capitalize on the electorate's fears and frustrations by promising the cheap and the quick: a smaller tax bite for the middle class and a bigger night stick for the ghetto. Or they could attempt the far more demanding mission of conducting what Pennsylvania Governor Raymond Shafer calls "the politics of realism"-of identifying the direction to be taken and setting the difficult course for the journey...
...Club should make Milwaukeeans in particular feel right at home with its nickel beer. Unhappiest of all were the Pennsylvanians, who landed in the Diplomat, 14 miles up the beach and closer to Fort Lauderdale than to the hall. To spare himself the long trip, Pennsylvania's Governor Raymond Shafer set up shop aboard a $400,000 oceanography mother ship, the Undersea Hunter, moored in Indian Creek, directly across from the Fontainebleau. In addition to carrying a 22-ft.-long, four-man yellow submarine designed to probe the ocean floor, the mother ship boasts a news ticker, color...
...obvious and unrewarding way to alter more accepted interpretations of the character. And this is also true of James Keach's Achilles, a psychopathic narcissistic Hell's Angel type, quickly uninteresting once the gag wears off. A more original job of reinterpretation is Schmidt's casting of Raymond Singer as the venemous fool Thersites, a character at once completely repellent yet perhaps the only moral person in the play.

Warned London's Evening News: "It would be a gross understatement to say they know something of the game." Indeed, in their first three matches, the Americans looked impressive. They outscored the Duke of Norfolk's team 178-117 before time ran out (thereby making the match officially a draw), lost by only 15 runs...
Rene Cartier, business manager; Raymond Cartier (no kin), a star reporter; and Arnold de Contades, 35, a Prouvost grandson-in-law who has had no previous experience in journalism. Then he drew up a list of several staffers to be dismissed. This action, he maintained, was dictated by economic necessity. And, indeed, profits had slipped somewhat before the strike. By failing to publish four issues during the strikes, Paris-Match had lost at least $1,000,000. Moreover, advertising orders had dropped, and the magazine was hard put to maintain its prestrike 1,280,000 circulation. By trimming the staff...
