...foreign affairs, the Thatcher emphasis was on continuity rather than drastic change. The Prime Minister received two visiting heads of government without missing a beat. Ireland's Prime Minister Jack Lynch, in London on private business, came in for a half-hour tête-à-tête to sample her views on the chronic issue of British policy in Ulster. Although Helmut Schmidt had offered to postpone a meeting that had been scheduled for last week with her predecessor James Callaghan, Thatcher insisted upon wining and dining the West German Chancellor...
...anyone who has not been there, the Cannes Film Festival sounds like paradise: free movies, bountiful booze, great food and beautiful people all converge under the sunny skies of the Cóte d'Azur. Would that it were so. In reality, the festival is a grotesque trade fair. The few good movies are mobbed; the best restaurants are overbooked; traffic jams glut the countryside; it often rains.

...every musician who wanted to pay tribute to the great man had been given a place on the program, we would still be listening to them now," said the organizer of a musical fête to honor Andrés Segovia, the world's most celebrated classical guitarist. The great man himself rose from the audience during intermission to accept a gold medal from the mayor of Madrid. "I have always had a great affection for this city," he joked. "But I love it even more so now." After the 3½-hour concert, the Andalusian-born Segovia...
