This sort of rhetoric is turning on the conservative rank-and-file Republicans, who traditionally play an outsize role in determining the party's presidential standardbearer. Three weeks ago, the silver-haired Connally made a stem-winding speech to 600 Midwestern Republican leaders at a convention in Indianapolis. A subsequent poll of 254 delegates showed that 29% favored Connally for the nomination, while Reagan trailed with 21%. Admits a rival, conservative Congressman Philip Crane of Illinois: "Connally has a lot of pizazz...
Popes speak and write continually and are variously heard and taken to heart. After his inauguration last fall John Paul II swiftly showed that he would be an activist teacher. His first speech endorsed both doctrinal conservatism and the reforms that grew out of the Second Vatican Council. Then in Latin America he demonstrated a blunt willingness to confront the theology of liberation and define just how priests should, and should not, pursue social justice.

And Shohet is deliciously annoying as the pushy, vulgar Natasha, who does nothing but drool--loudly--about her children...
...Force helicopters, which had been ferried to Egypt just for the presidential visit. At Egypt's parliament, he received a standing welcome, and his moving, well-delivered remarks were interrupted by applause 14 times. Addressing the deputies as "my friends, my brothers," he ended the televised speech by citing passages from the Old and New Testaments praising peace as the highest of man's virtues. And he quoted the Koran: "If thine adversary incline toward peace, do thou also incline toward peace, and trust in God." After the speech, Carter had one more working session with Sadat, then quickly toured...
