Naturally, then, it seems the Secretary of State as the President's chief foreign policy appointee would assume control of foreign policy. This is what Haig has sought to do since his appointment; it is perplexing as to why most people cast him as a villain for doing so--the problems with the administration's foreign policy are the president's fault and not Haig's. Indeed, he is more victim than instigator. A former career military man, Haig is accustomed to taking orders from higher-ups. With no policy guidelines, he must naturally endeavor to initiate them. In doing...
...made her triumphant Broadway debut in Little Foxes. As we resume our story, Liz tells the producers of ABC's General Hospital that she would like to play a cameo role. And so she does, in five appearances beginning this week, playing Helena Cassadine (widow of former GH Villain Mikkos Cassadine). Alas, it should be recorded that her effort is not pluperfect. It seems that Liz, in a repeat of last year's Tony Award speech-when she referred to Producer James Nederlander as James Needleheimer-trips over the pronunciation of her own character's last name...

One key arrest comes after a manic broken-field chase through the pushcarts and costermongers of New York's Fulton Fish Market.

When he cries out in solioquy that he will "enmesh" the Moor, Plummer squceezes himself into the most virile villain ever to singe a stage, a mad master of improvisation, and he rides this evergy,thrillingly, untill his objective is accomplished...
...Wilder, 43, (Silver Streak, Stir Crazy) with Gilda Radner, 35, (Saturday Night Live) in a murder-mystery romance? Hanky Panky, that's what. In the film, due out next summer, Wilder witnesses a murder. He and Radner then hit the road for clues to the crime, with Freelance Villain Richard Widmark, 66, in hot pursuit. Along for the chase are the police, who-you guessed it-think Wilder is the murderer. Love blossoms between the two co-stars during the film, but not, it seems, during a ride aboard a horse-drawn victoria in New York's Central...
