...little use to those who are less fortunate. So if this is a time to give thanks, it is also a time not to take the stored harvest for granted. Americans sense an uncertain and uncontrolled element in their lives. That is evident in the kind of restless discontent that appeared in the off-year elections, not only in the cautious and sometimes contradictory voting but also in the low numbers of votes cast. "There is a mood of apprehension and anxiety, a fear of the unknown," says Northwestern University Political Scientist Louis Masotti. Boston Globe Columnist Jeremiah V. Murphy...
...made a lot more money as a businessman (his four-year contract reportedly carries an annual salary of $100,000), and he could still be a formidable political candidate: in 1964 he was nearly elected to the U.S. Senate from Oklahoma, a heavily Democratic state.

The pace is tiring everybody. During nightly movies, Begin keeps falling asleep, once while watching An Unmarried Woman. At a showing of Patton, Weizman makes a graphic point: "If this thing falls apart, this is what we're going to have?another war." On this day conference almost does fall apart. Carter shuttles between Israelis and Sadat, who is emotional, one minute hopeful, the next gloomy. Despite Carter...
...APPARENT new unity of the band makes the recent death of drummer Keith Moon that much more tragic. Moon was always best known as the scourge of hotel managers across the world, but he was also one of the few rock drummers with a distinctive style--a feverish, restless beat that must have reflected his self-consuming way of life...
