...Wild Thing" immediately finds himself at odds with the conservative world of baseball. His hair is goofy--spiked high with a razor-cut zig-zag on the sides. His casual attitude toward his appearance causes the manager to chide, "We wear caps and sleeves at this level...
...basic states' rights issue involved is an uncommonly volatile one. The now reversed 1976 decision itself reversed a 1968 decision, a constitutional zigzag that scholars believe has never before occurred. And another zag may not be far off. Given the probability that President Reagan will make at least one new court appointment, many observers predict that the states' righters may soon regain control. "The majority thinking in this case is doomed," says Velvel. Indeed, in a surprisingly candid judicial version of "the South will rise again," Justice William Rehnquist, author of the 1976 decision, last week wrote tersely...
...scholars suggested that the party too had to change. There should no longer be one total authority compelling every unit of the state, from commune to city to Peking, to zig or zag every time the party zigged or zagged. The party's function is to lead. The government has another function: to keep order. Enterprise has yet another function, from village field to factory floor: to produce. Now the entire country was living through experiments, said Huan, trying to separate party apparatus from governing apparatus...
...shooting of John Kennedy and flew into an orbit of conspiratorial delirium that made the flakiest assassination theories seem like whitewash. Richert's film starts off from Condon, streamlines the plot and adds a few new quirks.

His father (John Huston), a wily priapic megamillionaire who lopes through his several palaces in flaming red Jockey shorts? Nick's sultry girlfriend (Belinda Bauer again), who may work...
Robert Shnayerson, a former TIME senior editor, succeeded Morris, adding earnest stories on the environment and a section called "Tools for Living," a kind of survival guide for the bean-sprout generation. Dizzied by the Morris zig and the Shnayerson zag, droves of readers and advertisers drifted away. In 1976, a year after Lapham took over, only 23% of subscribers renewed. (The rate is back up to 50%, but advertising has not grown apace.) Along with the Atlantic Monthly and Saturday Review, both of which have changed hands in the past few months, Harper's has been hurt...
