Samples from last week: New York Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro has done a "superb job" as head of the convention's platform committee; San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros would make "a superb Vice President." Friday's talk with Kentucky Governor Martha Layne Collins was "useful and wide-ranging"?just like all six previous interviews...
...Ford was "extremely agreeable," and President Reagan is a "miracle man. He is the only President in my time able to separate personality from policy." On the negative side, he points to Lyndon B. Johnson as the "greatest disappointment" of the many dignitaries he has met. "He was a superb majority leader and was able to get more progressive legislation adopted than [Franklin D.] Roosevelt, but in the end he didn't have what it took to resolve the greatest issue of his time, the Vietnam War," he says...
...witted cousin Paulie (Eric Roberts) is more complicated than the simple "blood runs thicker than water" explanation the more mature Charlie often gives. The subtle depths to the duo's relationship is constantly revealed throughout the film, made exquisitely palpable by the two leads.

He already has a son by a previous marriage and dreams of owning his own restaurant some day. What prevents Charlie from becoming a success...

Nor any athletes from Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Laos, Mongolia or Viet Nam. Almost certainly, the Poles and Hungarians will stay home, though nothing is official yet; the Cubans are probable no-shows too. The Soviets obviously have carefully orchestrated the boycott, with one satellite after another falling into line, often a day apart. "We are going to be receiving a one-a-day bitter pill for some time," predicts Peter Ueberroth, president of the Los Angeles...
Nevertheless, last week's results showed once again that there is a deep reluctance among Democratic voters to confirm Mondale as the nominee. In Texas, for instance, where Mondale's superb organization won the caucuses, many voters were bitter about the candidate as they left the polls. "Mondale embarrasses me," complained Democrat Russell Glenn of Odessa. "He's got more special interests behind him than west Texas has dirt roads." Said Victoria Crosby of Brownsville: "If Mondale gets the nomination, I'll vote for Reagan." In Ohio, fully one-third of the voters in the Democratic...
