...assassins. Says Psychiatrist Frank Ochberg, state director of mental health in Michigan: ''The same charisma in Ted Kennedy that stirs some people to the good, stirs other people to the bad.'' In September, Jimmy Carter ordered the Secret Service to guard Kennedy. They now watch over him around the clock, three shifts of five or six agents each, all identified by a lapel button and an earplug linked to a walkie-talkie. When traveling, Kennedy is usually accompanied by Aide Lawrence Horowitz, who is a licensed physician...
...moment, Washington was being careful not to respond with a hard-sell counteroffensive of its own. Rather, at the December NATO meeting the allies also plan to introduce an arms-control proposal of their own for limiting medium-range weapons. The judgment of the State Department is to watch the strident Soviet campaign, at least for the time being. Whatever the problems the NATO allies may have with their divided or left-leaning parliaments, the prevailing West European attitude toward the Soviets is believed to have hardened in the past two years.

...perfect day for an outdoor event in Rawalpindi, the former capital of Pakistan: balmy temperatures and sunny skies.

No longer can women's colleges like Radcliffe--or any college for that matter--sit back and watch the government's wheels slowly grind on, crushing federal aid programs in clammy bureaucratic jaws. Many colleges, including the nations' 125 womens' institutions, have grown increasingly dependent on federal funds. And when the government begins to tug on the institutional purse strings, administrators run from their Ivy towers to catch the next shuttle to Washington...
...positively grotesque. Those station-wagonned suburban looks don't help and that fabulously skinny body certainly doesn't look appropriate. Who has ever seen or heard an anorexic Joan Sutherland or Beverly Sills? Clayburgh careens about the screen, wildly overacting. Trying so damn hard, Clayburgh becomes positively painful to watch. Matthew Barry reveals some vestiges of talent but when delivering lines like "I must go; she awaits me", it's virtually impossible to appear anything but absurd...
