...major advantages in promoting a legislator like Ted Kennedy as president is that we have seen, to a large degree, both sides of his political personality for seventeen years. It would be foolish for liberal Democrats to be so optimistic about any candidate as they were with 'Jimmy Who?' in 1976; we would only be paving a road for dissatisfaction and eventual self-destruction. If we choose to support Kennedy for President in 1980, we must recognize his full political record, particularly in light of the broader constituency which the White House represents.

...Court reorganization. Fragmented or overlapping jurisdictions keep some judges underworked, others overworked, and still others doing the same work all over again. Seventeen states have adopted measures to streamline their court systems since 1970; reform came to Massachusetts in July, when its reorganization plan went into effect. No longer will criminal cases be tried de novo?from scratch?on appeal, and it will be easier to move judges around from court to court to even up work loads.

But as Richmond says, "There were so many people and T.V. cameras there--my main concern was just not to trip and fall on the tennis court."--She didn...
...other three actresses, Ravenal, Maggie-Meg Reed and Caroline Rody, all act competently, though without the near complete control over their characters that Woods manages. Ravenal, as Erica, the neurotic, college-boy-chasing, self-appointed court jester neatly portrays some of the ambiguities facing the nubile but nervous seventeen-year-old. But she skirts triteness when she sings a eulogy for her dead grandmother in one of the two "heavy" songs of the act. Reed, as Marion the sex-starved, and Rody, as Laura the oh-so-cute, faithfully depict their personality types' stereotypical reactions to predictable situations. However, they...
