More dangerous than his jabs at Congressional democrats, however, is the assault on the very structure of American democracy implicit in Reagan's speech. Besides challenging the concept of separation of powers and the system of checks and balances. Reagan would suppress all public opposition to his policies for the sake of maintaining our credibility abroad. The President is right to underscore the potentially positive impact of outward unity in international negotiations, but he goes too far in asking for a blank check both from Congress and from the American public...
...yell and prepare to take a leap of faith: they have gone and made an utterly serious Tarzan movie and, believe it or not, it is rather good. Indeed, much of Greystoke is very good, a tender, thoughtful and pictorially beautiful working out of the themes that were implicit in Edgar Rice Burroughs' original conception, but which over 70 years of life in the Hollywood jungle have been choked off by the riotous, unchecked growth of weedy invention and seedy, B-picture convention...
...paint on the canvas looks sluggish and frozen, like cake icing. (In the early '60s, Morley did put the pigment on with icing nozzles.)

Anyone who has been to Israel would attest to the fact that government policy is constantly criticized by individuals and the press in the sharpest of terms. Israelis...
...frustration implicit in Means' words is not unique. Indians around the country are rightly angry over years of shabby treatment at the hands of the government. They are rightly dismayed over their powerlessness, and the double-edged sword of development. Companies like Union Carbide, working with the Reagan Administration's blessing, are moving to get rights to strip-mine the Lakota land, one of the poorest in the country, a bare plot of 4500 square miles in southwest South Dakota. Their goal is the fantastically lucrative uranium bed that sits under the land and that could, if properly cultivated, prove...
