Eschewing the pinstripe ambiguities of the career professional, Habib is renowned for his straightforward talk and capacity to cut through to the basics. "He gets to the core of issues quickly," says one associate, "and then doesn't leave them till they're settled." But his greatest strength, says another, is that "he knows when to use clout and when to listen." For instance, when talking to Menachem Begin, who tends to obscure issues with lengthy digressions, Habib will tenaciously steer the conversation back to the central topic.

Albee's The Man Who Had Three Arms, though wordy, is an intriguing, often hilarious parable about the hazards of fame in the TV age, with excellent performances by Robert Drivas, Patricia Kilgarriff and Wyman Pendleton. Williams' A House Not Meant...
...STONES proved themselves eager to adapt--to changing musical styles, to writing and playing without Jones, to using the small army of part-time musicians they began carting around, and to making music which was no longer startling but was till by and large the best the genre had to offer. As a American listeners distracted themselves with disco, reggae, and new wave, the Stones decided to keep up rather than call it quits. There was something a little silly about the group that had redefined rock and roll 10 years earlier stringing itself along from year to year with...
