Sailor promotes the feeling of a mal-de-mare's nest from the beginning. That most shopworn of all modern literary figures, Alienated Man (Ian Bannen), is on vacation in Italy, accompanied by his mistress, played with leggy lassitude by Vanessa Redgrave. Her British banalities suddenly bug Bannen, and he tells her to buzz off. The very next day he picks up a new playmate, a mysterious and wealthy Frenchwoman (Jeanne Moreau). Playing her customary erotic neurotic, with pouting mouth and matching accessories, Moreau is searching for a young sailor she had an affair with years before...
Despite his disclaimers, many Republicans are convinced that Reagan has caught the presidential bug. He will head California's big delegation at the convention as a favorite son. He probably will make several forays into neighboring Oregon before next May's primary, may also be on the ballot in Nebraska and Wisconsin. To withdraw, says his press secretary, "would call to mind a picture of the citizens of the country knocking on the door and telling you they want you to be President, and you slam the door in their face...
...World the Younger Generation Is Talking About." It's a little hard to tell what in the world Lynda is talking about, since at least 40 of the 55 terms in the glossary are almost old enough to be in the Oxford English Dictionary: "Cool it," "bug out," "put on," "stay loose."

...started in 1964, Chief Designer Frantisek Sajdl made extensive studies of Western compacts. His four-door 1000 MB has a 48-h.p., four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that sits astern of the rear axle. The car's top speed is 78 m.p.h. against 74 m.p.h. for the Volkswagen bug; it gets 38 miles to the gallon against Renault's 39. While far from fancy, the plastic interior trim is durable. Its two front bucket seats fold back for sleeping, and the car's rack-and-pinion steering makes for good road-holding quality...
Graced with the same snub-nosed design that has characterized the basic bug since 1948, the new 1200 is as much a throwback as an evolution. It has the same chrome trim and many, though not all, of the improvements built into the current 1300 and 1500 models, such as wide-track wheels and automatic choke. But the new car resurrects the pony 41-h.p. engine which VW dropped in 1965. It will hit 70 m.p.h., as against 78 m.p.h. for the 53-h.p. 1500, will cost a bare $1,121, compared with...
