...result. Clark, says one former Haig lieutenant, "is a man who has no fixed address. He will serve whichever boss he happens to be working for"-and Clark has worked for Reagan a lot longer than he did for Haig. He is convinced that Reagan must put his personal stamp on foreign policy rather than let his Secretary of State run the show. And he is turning into an exceptionally potent National Security Adviser, even though he had no foreign policy experience whatever before he came to Washington. Clark has unlimited personal access to Reagan and can speak...
Squirreled away in his safe-deposit box, Calvin Trillin keeps a list of prominent novelists who once sported Nehru jackets. Occasionally, he will take out this list and peruse the names the way a stamp collector savors his Luxembourg misprints.

Whatever the outcome, it will surely be remembered as his war: no other Middle East conflict had so unmistakably borne the stamp of one man. He had been spoiling for the fight against the Palestine Liberation Organization since he became Defense Minister last August.

Even competing with the Great Profile, the left side Granddad preferred to have depicted, Drew effortlessly upstaged, or rather understaged, her famous forebears. The daughter of Writer and Actor John Drew Barrymore...
...Journalist Li Guangyi, 64, was recently sentenced to five years in prison for "leaking important state secrets." Among them: the time, place and agenda of an upcoming meeting of the plenary session of the Communist Party Central Committee. Last month two European journalists browsing in downtown Peking's stamp mar ket were startled when two plain-clothes policemen emerged from the crowd of shoppers to arrest the dealer who had just sold them a $5 stamp. The dealer had probably defied an earlier warning not to sell to foreign customers...
