...probably have only a limited impact on the election. In many areas, where local pocketbook issues predominate, his name is rarely even mentioned in campaigns. Democratic candidates seek his help in raising money and getting out the vote, but they do not expect much beyond that. "Kansans have a respect for the presidency," says Bill Roy, who must contend with farmers angry over Carter's agriculture policies. "I'm not sure his visit will change a single vote, because Kansans are very independent when it comes to voting. They don't vote for candidates because they...
...time the seamier side of Harvard's handling of the Engelhard question came to light. Administration officials have claimed that they had an "agreement" with us, an "understanding" with us, or that "mutual respect" existed between their negotiators and ours, and that we had somehow acted in bad faith.

He voted against just about everything else...
After this solid lead-in of shorts, the Allen film is disappointing. Throughout the film producer/-director Allen Mantell consistently fails to probe hard enough, whether out of respect for Allen's privacy or out of deference to a comedian/social observer of Allen's stature. While Mantell does cover some of the relevant bases, he ignores key leads to the problem at hand. For instance, in the half-hour we hear nothing of Allen's fifteen years of psychoanalysis, although that process has probably provided Allen with a larger portion of his humor than any other single factor. Allen does...
