Woodward's best seller, though it traced Belushi's last days with a doggedness that would have done the Evangelists proud, was a turgid read that had little feeling for its subject and found no broad meaning in it. At least adapter Earl Mac Rauch (The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai) knows that the only way to pin Belushi and Hollywood is to wax satiric and surrealistic. When the dead Belushi prowls his old haunts in a morgue sheet that looks like a toga out of the Animal House closet, the film almost has style to match its guts. So does...
...were too expensive for the health and safety benefits gained. "For the same amount of money," the Budget Director said, "we can buy everyone in America rubber- soled shoes, because the chance of being killed by toxic gases is about the same as being killed by lightning." Bush is proud of these bouts and prefers them to the staged-managed sessions held for Reagan. "I've been to Cabinet meetings when ((they have)) been a show-and-tell," Bush said.

The proud sign at Al's, a pit stop featuring buffalo burgers and passable 5 cents coffee, unabashedly announces WHERE THE WEST BEGINS...
...imposing residence topped with a bell tower. With its bastions of stone and 63-ft. flagpole aflutter with Old Glory, Fort Union conveyed a flashy, mercantile style and substance until smallpox twice struck the Indians and homesteaders encroached on their lands, eclipsing the trade. By 1866 the once proud post had lapsed into disrepair, and the U.S. Army dismantled it. Five years ago, a local citizens' group spearheaded reconstruction of the flagpole. Then for three summers, a squad of 45 archaeologists working for the Park Service set about excavating artifacts. Under a $4 million federal appropriation, the bourgeois house...
