Everett Ladd, director of the University of Connecticut's Social Science Data Center, says flatly: "I am 100% certain that there was no 'closet Reaganism' in this election." Other pollsters tend to agree. But there is some evidence that suggests otherwise. Before the election, only 7% of the blacks surveyed by New York Times-CBS News said they were going to vote for Reagan; Election Day exit polling showed that 14% had ac tually cast their ballots for the Californian. But when re-polled by New York Times-CBS News, only 6% of blacks admitted they...
...collectors crowded into the gallery (fire laws won't permit more) pay $75 each for the privilege of stuffing intent-to-purchase chips into the cake boxes. Then names of lucky purchasers are drawn out of the boxes, sometimes from among several hundred chips. The expensive works tend to attract the most chips. Tonight John Clymer, an old Saturday Evening Post cover artist, has a painting priced at $80,000. So does his colleague, Tom Lovell, another successful illustrator in the old days...

...became a highly emotional issue during the recent election campaign. All of this has prompted many holders of marks to switch into dollars, pounds and francs in order to cash in on the interest rates, as high as 16%, being paid in countries with far worse inflation. German investors tend to be especially jittery because of the runaway inflation they suffered before and after World...
...acting a part. Or it may be that she is really too smart to play convincingly the neurotic ninny of the film's early reels. In any case, she appears to be less eager to be funny than she is to make a point, namely that men tend to be sexually exploitative, and crudely and rudely so. About all Private Benjamin adds to An Unmarried Woman, which made the definitively dumb statement about male piggery, is a Continental fillip. That French doctor, played rather sleepily by Armand Assante, starts out acting like a Gallic Alan Bates, sexy...
