LOPEZ is pathologically obsessed with Harvard. He tells stories about his uncanny ability to pick Harvard men out in a crowd. Like the time he got on an elevator in Iran next to a man in a yellow button-down shirt and gray suit who was talking about Cambridge. Lopez says he knew immediately that the man was from Harvard. "I think that any Harvard man that doesn't admit he's kind of proud to be a Harvard is kidding himself," he says. Lopez, who proudly proclaims himself the first Mexican-American graduate of the Law School...
...power plant on the outskirts of Louisville. It was chosen because it is a model of what the President wants: a power plant that burns coal instead of oil and uses expensive "scrubbers" to keep even high-sulfur coal from polluting the air. Facing a crowd of workers in yellow, orange and green hard hats, Carter declared: "I would rather burn another ton of Kentucky coal than see our nation become dependent on another barrel of OPEC...
...Howard Baker insists that judgment should be first but politics a close second. That means some solid whacks, as well as support in critical times.

...stocking with ligamental cords running from arms to torso. Dooley moves with admirable lightness, assisted by John Morris' delicate flutes, harp and chimes. His speech, however, is erratic; and his discourse (in a harpy's disguise) to the villainous nobles is an almost total loss.

The yardstick for the role remains Clayton Corzatte--who moved, spoke and sang to perfection...
Readers of Frame's Scented Gardens for the Blind and Yellow Flowers in the Antipodean Room will be prepared for the unexpected. Literary aestheticians can ponder the author's ideas on replica and originals. Structural purists may find her infusions of poetry unwiedly and unnecessary. Frame herself simply calls the book an entertainment. It is that and more, for she proves to be not only spinner of bizarre and hunting fantasy but a sharp social observer as well. Her descriptions of New Zealand suburbanization, of California as public confessional booth, of television and religious fakers convey a reality...
