...since Slim Pickens rode a rocket to Russia in Dr. Strangelove, Stanley Kubrick's Cold War comedy classic, has a film stared so unabashedly down the throat of Armageddon. But whereas Dr. Strangelove's power stems from the way Kubrick's finger flirts with the Little Red Button, Tarkovsky presses the button down, then holds it, firmly, for two-and-a-half hours. The result is a film as difficult to assess as the Bomb itself, generating shockwaves of a political, moral, historical, and spiritual nature. The Sacrifice almost demands too much of the viewer, pushing him from breakdown...
Beneath all the wrongdoing, panic and disaffection with Wall Street lies a deeper issue. The lanky, impeccably tailored Boesky rode to staggering success and then to disaster on the wave of takeovers that have swamped the stock market in the '80s, dramatically reshaping the way that corporate America does business.

Republican Senators won out of the 16 he had campaigned for since Labor...
...Senators maintained a majority in the "World's Greatest Deliberative Body." Then came the 1980 election-night massacre, when the heartland liberals, the George McGoverns and Frank Churches and Birch Bayhs, were sent packing by a band of upstart Republicans, most of them quite conservative and many undistinguished, who rode into office on Ronald Reagan's flowing coattails. The Democrats lost the majority that night. This year, with that G.O.P. class of 1980 up for re-election for the first time, the Democrats are seeking revenge, and control...
