...rich get richer and the poor get poorer. That unpleasant maxim seems to sum up the message of The Reagan Record, a 400-page study released last week by the Urban Institute, a respected nonpartisan think tank in Washington...
...weaponry to West Germany-especially the M1 Abrams tank, the Black Hawk helicopter and the computerized Multiple Launch Rocket System-has cheered the troops. After the 3rd Infantry Division at Wurzburg received its new tanks in 1982, the re-enlistment rate for those eligible to re-up after their first tour of duty shot up from 20% to 70%.

...East is the Middle East, where Lieut. Eddie Murphy is demonstrating a dubiously designed tank to dubiously inclined Arab buyers. The West is California, two years earlier, where Dudley Moore plays an engineer who gets into trouble by failing to give his undivided attention to making Eddie's lemon grow. And, yes, never the twain shall meet. But the poet's point is a poor comic premise. Though Best Defense provides both stars a few funny moments and offers some promising satirical ideas, its binary construction imposes a fatal jumpiness on it. Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck...
