Calling the campaign's three issues "job, job and jobs," Blanchard seems assured of a new job for himself come January. And that is the way it undoubtedly should be. The economic emergency in Michigan prevents any "let-business-do-the-trick" Reaganomic shilly-shallying. But it is a shame that a 300-watt diverted attention away from economic issues. James Blanchard has enjoyed a cakewalk, instead of a race to the wire, which might have transformed him from a Democratic idealist into a much-needed leader...
...form with which they are comfortable, and stick with it. There is the help-seeking enemy, for example, who plays upon the odd fact of human behavior that by requesting your aid or advice he lowers himself before you and thus disables your wrath by your own sense of shame. Then too there is the help-giving enemy, who attempts to pile so much generosity about your head that you are brought to your knees in response.

As the left-wing Al Hamishmar saw it, "This slaughter has made the war in Lebanon the greatest disaster to befall the Jewish people since the Holocaust...
...moribund pop-rock world. Record sales are way down, new and true talent rare, and it takes prehistoric monsters like Fleetwood Mac and Crosby. Stills and Nash to deliver the goods. On Marshall Crenshaw, every last track could easily put most of the FM top forty to shame. Eleven perfect singles are served up, each one seemingly stronger than its predecessor. Furthermore, Crenshaw's melodies are hopelessly addictive; they're just short enough to hook the listener but not entirely satisfy him. Back in the '60s, John Lennon and Paul McCartney made a career of just such tactics...
