...trip, which cost me $350, was sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Council, an amalgamation of local Jewish groups. The avowed goal of the trip was to provide college journalists with an introduction to the issues and problems of the Arab-Israeli conflict, albeit, with a pro-Israeli spin...
...final triumph is Streep's. Forget the globe-trotting tragic-heroine roles that made her famous. Under the sorcerer's wand of director Nichols she proves again she is our finest comedienne; like the late Irene Dunne, she adds spin and sizzle to every bon mot.

Her old pals remember her as a lively girl, just the kind you'd like to take for a spin in your first fire engine. She did seem to figure things out fast and was aware of a wider world. "She taught me french kissing," says a classmate, Gordon Riegel, "not because she was fast, but because she read about it in some magazine like Vogue and was curious...
