...INTERNATIONAL ARENA, too, Carter suffered from gullibility. Like Woodrow Wilson, who along with Harry Truman seems to have been one of Carter's presidential idols, he demanded a certain brand of morality from those he dealt with abroad. Yet his Administration got burned across the globe by nations less-scrupulous than ours Iran. Afghanistan, and Poland leap to mind as sites of American humiliation between 1977 and 1981. Even today, however, Carter indicates he has no regrets about extending his politics of faith abroad...
...That brand of anti-Zionism which labelled the philosophy behind the Diasporan Jews desire to create a homeland "racist" was one such disguise. Although many groups--including some Jews--opposed the Jewish state for other reasons, anti-Zionism served for many as a new, more defensible appellation for the same old, inexcusable prejudice. Jewish journalist Jacobo Timmerman's Argentine captors and torturers claimed to have no objection to Judaism--only to Zionism--as they subjected him to an electroshock machine and screamed frenetically, "Clipped Prick!"

...campus the merciless vitriol of a conservative weekly has provoked an uneasy, university-wide debate about just how much free speech a civilized community can tolerate. Pervading the pages of the Dartmouth Review, founded in 1980, is a sophomoric brand of macho humor. An essay in its Oct. 18 issue spoke scornfully of a "never-never land where men are women and women are persons." The same issue contained a mock memo berating student homosexuals: "Wasn't the closet more comfortable than the trash bag? You guys could suffocate." Contends Editor in Chief E. William Cattan: "We are writing...
Jinsed's basic premise is that a petty gambler named Howard (Rip Torn) has somehow managed to put a "jinx" on a young blackjack dealer. Willy (Ken Wahl), and is now chasing him from casino to casino trying to break the bank. Whenever Howard smokes a certain magically lucky brand of cigar, he's sure to win any hand Willy deals him Howard is a rather sleazy character with a seemingly infinite wardrobe of polyester Stetson hats, and this is his first chance...
