...press, which has "bloodied and beaten the name Moral Majority." He also acknowledged that he wanted to be able to speak out not only on such matters as school prayer and pornography but also on budget deficits, the need for a strong defense and other issues that many Americans regard as political rather than moral. When Falwell has taken positions on such questions in the past, he has been criticized for appearing to frame them in religious terms. Noting that contributions toward Moral Majority's $7 million annual budget have leveled off in the past year and that the organization...
Film buffs may regard the '30s and '40s as the Periclean Age of Celluloid. But those on the other side of the screen tended to view themselves as galley slaves. Joan Blondell reports, "During the Depression I was making more than six pictures a year. I made six pictures while carrying my son and eight with my daughter. They'd get me behind desks and behind barrels and throw tables in front of me to hide my growing tummy."

Political enemies regarded her as an all but unrepentant Communist, although she denied having...
Strange work. Columnists take a ribbing from their fellow journalists, reporters especially, who tend to regard columnists with the same chummy contempt that linemen show quarterbacks. Reporters do the real work, sleep in cars, get kicked by Mafia bosses on the courthouse steps. Even editors do some sweating (yelling is taxing). But columnists ride the gravy train, that's what the pressroom says. In a way, it's true. They manage to arrive home before midnight; they dine with the brass. Their physical exercise consists of pacing all the way to the far end of the study, and often back...
