...Chandler, an upstanding Connecticut Senator with presidential aspirations who gets caught up in a Soviet terrorist plot as well as in the net of a beautiful female aide. Cohen and Hart, anxious about the book's reception, have sent copies of the thriller to every Senator; most of them relish the depiction of the Senate, and some find certain aspects very familiar. Barry Goldwater told Cohen, "You call it fiction? I don't. I saw a little bit of me in there." For the two collaborators, life may indeed be imitating art. Hart confesses that sometimes before a vote...
Chancellor Helmut Kohl of West Germany, the summit host, and Prime Ministers Margaret Thatcher of Britain, Brian Mulroney of Canada, Bettino Craxi of Italy and Yasuhiro Nakasone of Japan were willing to accommodate Reagan. But Mitterrand, who appeared to relish playing France's traditional role of odd man out at economic summits, adamantly refused to set an early--or any--date for trade negotiations. He voiced varied objections: that the talks had to be carefully prepared; that they ought to be linked to a monetary-reform conference, about which the U.S. is dubious; most of all, that trade talks might...

Journalism is hardly immune to the desire to judge and be judged. Thus last week came the Pulitzer Prizes and two major groups of honors for which magazines compete: the National Magazine Awards and the Overseas Press Club Awards...
...sing showtunes as they drive down the highway in their sky-blue station wagons? It sounds like stereotyping, as might befit a director first made famous as Archie Bunker's "Meathead" son-in-law, but this flick is simply too much fun to criticize the Styrofoam characters with any relish. Those who appear in the credits with titles like "Girl in Photo." "Frat Guy," "Pick-up Driver," or "Bus Station Bum" are not characters: they are nothing more than props for Reiner's comedic mind, no realer than a red nose or floppy feet...
