...bill, already passed twice by the Senate, that is supposed at least to slow the torrent of illegal immigrants across the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexican border. A floor vote on the Simpson-Mazzoli bill (named for its coauthors, Republican Senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming and Democratic Congressman Romano Mazzoli of Kentucky) is expected this week. President Reagan put in a plug for passage at his news conference Thursday night. Said he, with a touch of hyperbole: "We have lost control of our own borders, and no nation can do that and survive...
These have been tearful days in televisionland. Earlier this month, the Cunningham family sobbed and even Fonzie got a little misty-eyed at the wedding of Joanie and Chachi, as Happy Days bade farewell after eleven seasons on the air. Ann Romano (Bonnie Franklin) said an equally weepy goodbye to family, friends and Indianapolis apartment as she left for a new job in London, bringing to a close nine seasons of One Day at a Time.

One particularly touching moment occurs as the two sit at the kitchen table, silently counting the red beans that will become their dinner. The movements of their languid hands, which grasp each other passionately, show more...
Through its official newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican promptly rejected a role as intermediary, saying that the kidnapers were demanding "absurd compensations." Even Agca wanted no part of the deal: he is well aware that only his Italian jailers stand between him and possible Soviet retribution for his confessions. Said the onetime terrorist: "I appeal to the kidnapers: free this poor girl. I have nothing to do with criminals. I am with Italy, with the Italian people, with the Vatican...
