...reading your story about Gelsey Kirkland I was again caught by the feeling I have received so many times when I've read about a show business great or near-great and that is-I'd much rather watch her perform than have to live with...
...whirlwind courtship and globally televised marriage had moved sentimental Britons to the core. The tabloids fondly called Snowdon "the Jones boy." Their son David, Viscount Linley, was born in 1961, followed by a daughter, Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, in 1964. But by 1967 the marriage began to show visible strains.

It also reflects an earnest desire to reconcile opposites. Opinion polls show dramatic losses for Carter among the usual Democratic constituencies-labor, liberals, blacks -and in large measure these losses must be due to his economic program. Despite the serious doubts about the old-fashioned Democratic remedies, these constituencies still by and large want bigger spending and a more, rather than less, egalitarian thrust-or at least they want the substitutes and alternatives...
