...Argentines appeared to miss their deposed leader, who had been President only since December. Said the English-language Buenos Aires Herald: "Galtieri lasted not quite six months and managed to plunge the nation into a farcical war which besmirched the honor of the military." Proclaimed a prominent businessman: "He should be hung. No, drawn and quartered. No, it is better to let him live with his dishonor, 24 hours a day for the rest of his life." That outraged judgment seemed far from fair in a country that has been teaching its children for more than a century that...
Jimmy Breslin's colleagues at the old New York Herald Tribune used to wonder how much of his Runyonesque column was fiction. The question was settled with the suggestion that Jimmy did not write fiction because he had enough trouble making up the truth. That, in part, was how the New Journalism was born. From barroom, cloakroom and police station, Breslin cut slices of life in which big guys squeezed little guys; people who read too many books didn't know what they were talking about; and politicians were vain, greedy and corrupt-except Bobby Kennedy...
...designers are scarcely scanty. Calvin Klein, 39, tops in bottoms, etc., will take $15 million off the rack this year, estimates WWD, and Ralph Lauren, 42, is close behind at $12 million.

Tron, a futuristic melodrama set inside a video game, hopes to lure the addicts of the arcades back to moviehouses. New versions of Rocky, Grease, Star Trek and The Thing will tempt old adherents. The Road Warrior and Blade Runner will offer up eye-catching punk-rock apocalypses. Robin Williams will attempt to enter The World According to Garp. Clint Eastwood and Woody Allen have new movies, and Burt Reynolds...
REGARDLESS OF HOW the sordid saga of Dr. Arif Hussain resolves itself, the formerly Harvard-affiliated anaesthesiologist will probably never escape the label "RAPE DOC" which has so often this year decorated the pages of the Herald American in 60 point type. Hussain has made sensational copy throughout New England and the nation: the snappily dressed young intern, attractive wife and infant son in low, cheerfully denies guilt in three separate rape cases, while his flamboyant defense attorney challenges characters and motives of alleged victims...
