Indeed, the threat of trouble from the unions put a damper even on businessmen's enthusiasm for the budget. One wealthy corporate executive called home to tell his wife to lay in an ample supply of gas for their camping stove, lest there be no fuel next winter in their Kensington flat. And in the two days after Howe delivered his budget message to Commons, the Financial Times stock index dropped 27 points. The Tories stoutly defended their drastic action. "This is a severe package," conceded John Biffen, Chief Secretary to the Treasury. "But the severity is made necessary...
...film offers tedious exposition that exists solely to keep the big fight at bay. The script's stalling techniques are random and far fetched. Stallone tries to create drama out of Rocky's inexplicable inability to gain steady employment, his domestic foibles and, finally, out of his wife's simultaneous bouts with childbirth and coma. These developments are so poorly conceived that Adrian's brother (a newly slim Burt Young) must dart in and out of scenes to deliver plot information.

It is the kind of big-screen romance they just don't make...
Egypt, Morocco, the Bahamas and now Mexico. With yet another welcome mat yanked away, Cuernavaca was the latest stop for Iran's deposed Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, Wife Farah, Son Reza, 18, and their royal entourage. After unpacking in a walled-in, eleven-bedroom villa ringed by cypress and bougainvillaea, the Shah resumed his tennis at the posh Cuernavaca Racquet Club and spoke briefly to newsmen. What of events back home? "Obviously, my heart is bleeding." One more move, north of the border? "It would depend on whether we were welcome." Henry Kissinger, for one, certainly believes they should...
