Relations with the U.S. already are excellent, largely because she and President Reagan are cut from the same ideo logical cloth. "She's tough and smart" marvels Secretary of State George Shultz. "She's a great and determined lady who's shown us what leadership is all about " Shultz could not resist adding: "If I were married to her, I'd be sure to have dinner ready when she got home...

...brought a new breed of director, steeped in movie lore and movie love, making smart films that were huge hits--and for the longest time, Oscar ignored them too. The Godfather won Best Picture, but its auteur, Francis Ford Coppola, was not named Best Director. (He won for The Godfather Part II.) Nor did the Academy give Spielberg an Oscar for Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark or E.T.
