...least one all-important area, the accusation of fuzziness that has dogged Jimmy Carter throughout his 18-month campaign cannot fairly be sustained. In a stream of speeches, position papers and interviews, the Democratic front runner has expounded his ideas on all of the major, and some of the minor, questions of economic policy: jobs, prices, taxes, energy, even regulation of the trucking industry. No one who pays attention can miss his general drift: Carter is a mainstream Democrat, who offers primarily an updated version of the economic policies of the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations. His keynote: a major effort...
...Franco's waning days, the royal heir designate led a listless life sailing off Mallorca, skiing in Granada, toying with his Nikons and snipping ceremonial ribbons. Today he is at the center of the political vortex and shows a clear and subtle understanding of the conflicting currents. The stream of ministerial cars passing through the gates of Zarzuela Palace, his residence northwest of Madrid, indicates that the King has clout where it counts. Significantly, Juan Carlos is using that clout to receive not only ministers but opposition leaders like Ruiz-Gimenez and 35-year-old Socialist Leader Felipe Gonzalez...
Paris has its glittering Ile de la Cite on the Seine, Budapest its merry Margaret Island on the Danube. New York City also has an island in the stream that may someday be an equally stimulating place to live or visit. Known as Roosevelt Island (for F.D.R.), the 2.5-mile-long sliver of granite in the East River-formerly Welfare Island -served as a malodorous dumping ground for the wicked, the incurable and the insane. Today the islet is a burgeoning new community, only 300 yds. from Manhattan but psychologically light-years distant. This week convenience and mystique came together...
...York Post Columnist Harriet Van Home if she can prove her suspicion that he did not write the book. In any event, the novel's action-which includes brutal multiple murders and an anticlimactic missile crisis-has less energy than the rancorous opinions that stream from the mouths of the characters. Many of these views are clearly Agnew's own, and a disproportionate number demonstrate that the former Vice President bears a chronic grudge against the press. Although The Canfield Decision is not a roman à clef, a nosy columnist named "Andy Jackerson" gets a going over...
...this week and which purports to be a hot, hip parody of the cool medium, falls on its face because it never escapes what it tries to make funny. Bereft of originality, the film, set in 1985, tries to keep the laffs coming with a tiring and finally irritating stream of take-offs of TV just the way it is today. L.A. crime dramas get the treatment with "Police Comic," a one-minute bit in which a stand-up joking cop makes the bad guy give up with one joke. Weak? You should hear the joke. The new ethnic sitcoms...
