Harkin, a coal miner's son who served as a Navy pilot in Viet Nam, is trying to exploit Jepsen's gaffes with the campaign slogan: "Tom Harkin-a Senator lowans can be proud of." Jepsen has sought to make Harkin's liberal voting record the key issue. But though Iowa's voters tend to be conservative on most social issues, they are less so on matters of military and foreign policy. Harkin, who has won five successive terms in a Republican district in southwest Iowa, has tried to deflect criticism of his opposition...
...vote against the agreement because it did not get them fatter paychecks. Warned David Lankford, 37, a sweeper with 18 years seniority at the Clark Avenue Cadillac plant: "I want a raise. I'd vote down anything less than getting back our 3% a year." Rallying under the slogan "restore and more in '84," workers like Lankford have maintained that the union should not only recoup concessions made in its 1982 contract with GM at the depth of the auto industry's troubles but also win additional benefits.

(Buckaroo's slogan, "No matter where you go, there you are," could serve as a fortune-cookie credo for the no-problem '80s.) There is also a passel of sharp performances. The presence of such actors as Christopher Lloyd (Zenned-out on an inner voice that must sound like Daffy Duck's), Ellen Barkin (with her bruised features and street-angel smile) and Jeff Goldblum (heartthrob of the Mensa sorority) clues...
Young soldiers competed to build the tallest human pyramid, and teen-agers danced to recorded calypso music. Children indulged themselves in cotton candy. In a carnival-like atmosphere, 300,000 slogan-chanting Nicaraguans gathered in Managua last week to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the revolution that brought down Dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle. In his address to the crowd, Junta Coordinator Daniel Ortega Saavedra announced that opposition parties would be allowed to hold public rallies and to travel more freely during the campaign for the Nov. 4 elections, the country's first since the 1979 Sandinista takeover...
