...Israeli government. But by failing to state its position forcefully, the Administration appeared to the Arab states to be a silent partner in the attack or at the very least an overly indulgent ally. Until the U.S. can distinguish openly between American policy and Israeli policy, and rein in some of the more expansionist tendencies of the Begin government, it cannot make real headway in improving its relations with the Arab world...
Opponents of the 25% proposal hope that the Administration, burned by the furor over the toxic-wastes ban, will move to rein in the combative EPA. Repeated samplings of public opinion, they argue, demonstrate that environmental protection is still a high priority nationwide.

Noguchi referred to the use of the cocaine-heroin mixture by its street name-speedballing-and said that the dose would have killed Belushi even if he had been less paunchy and dissipated. The comedian's death had its public aftermath in the East as well. Actor Dan Aykroyd led the funeral cortege on Martha's Vineyard astride a Harley-Davidson motorcycle...
...moments of domestic comedy involving the protagonist, his grandfather and his live-in lady in an innocent but funny menage a trois. The old gent is played by the great director King Vidor, who may have given a tip or two, since these scenes indicate that were Toback to rein in .his ambitions, he might have a gift for conscious, rather than unconscious, comedy of an interestingly eccentric kind...
