...somehow seemed an unlikely time and place for Jimmy Carter's first full-length speech on Soviet-American relations. Here was the President on what looked for all the world like an old-fashioned barnstorming tour through his native South last week, and here were 500 Southern state legislators in the gardenia-adorned Gaillard Auditorium in Charleston, S.C., all ready for a few lighthearted moments of down-home pleasantries and political good tidings. That same evening the President was off to Yazoo City, Miss., for a "Citizens' Public Meeting" (see following story) and then, the next...
...relatively minor: a slight fever, fatigue and the reddish rash, which often takes a "butterfly" shape across the nose and cheeks. But as SLE progresses, severe inflammation may occur in the joints, hair fall out, and sores appear in the mouth, nose, throat and vagina. Unless lupus is somehow contained-or undergoes spontaneous remission-the heart and blood vessels may be damaged. The kidneys could begin to fail, and even the central nervous system can be affected...
...this is not to say that Les Sauvages has no charm. Somehow in the midst of the dizzying swirl of traffic and rain, perfume industrialists and mango trees, a few beautiful moments manage to emerge. When Nelly (the crazy blonde) and Martin (the former perfume magnate) are alone on the island, he calls her up on the phone that connects two straw huts to invite her to dinner and she insists that she is really much, much too busy. She is eating a peach and thumbing absentmindedly through an old magazine. When we discover that Martin is not just...
...implies strongly that she would somehow find the funds to hire more firemen, improve the mediocre criminal justice system, and otherwise "improve the quality of life." She repeatedly emphasizes the need to modernize and upgrade the rapid transit system. To do that she would abandon the $1 billion Westway road project, a controversial plan favored by the business community and many political leaders because it would promote development in Lower Manhattan. Most of the money would come from Washington, but under legislation pushed by Abzug while she was in Congress, such highway funds can be "traded in" for mass-transit...
...Bridge Builder Gustave Eiffel in a competition for the Paris Exposition of 1889, which celebrated the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution (among the losing ideas: an oversized guillotine, a giant garden sprinkler poised over the city). There were dire predictions that the structure would attract lightning and somehow kill all the fish in the Seine. Builder Eiffel displayed his disdain for doomsayers by working and entertaining guests in an apartment he had constructed at the top. He was right: heavy storms scarcely sway the tower, and winds pass through the lacy ironwork, budging it no more than four inches...
