...interrupted a football game. The fact is, lacocca isn't responsible for building the cars right. He's responsible for making sure he has good people and equipment; the men and women on the line decide how well to put the cars together. Perhaps the worst example of multi-layered management and institutionalized indifference is the civil service. Everyone can remember infuriating days at the Department of Motor Vehicles or Land Records Office. With no responsibility, almost complete job security, and little chance for significant promotion, it is no wonder so many civil servants care little when someone walks into...
...also confusion in Europe, as well as some annoyance at the vagaries of U.S. policy. Informed four to five hours in advance of the U.S. redeployment, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher ordered the removal from Beirut of her country's 115-member contingent of the four-nation Multi-National Force. According to a Thatcher aide, the move was "not dependent on what attitude the United States took." Indeed it was not. TIME has learned that the British plan to distance themselves even further from current U.S. policy by withdrawing their MNF contingent to Cyprus...
...Five. The rest of Footloose is directed by Herbert Ross, and while it displays spasms of finger-popping vigor, the movie never lives up to-or survives-those first few minutes.

Stone, he spends his time in his study talking into a tape-recorder, defending his career before an imaginary judge. He claims that the multi-millionaires of California's Bohemian Grove--the real rulers of America's industry and military--put him in the presidency. He didn't really want to continue war in Vietnam or get involved in the Chilean counter-revolution, but rather those filthy moneymongers forced him to. Finally, sick of prostituting himself and his country, he resolved...
Retorted Reagan: "How could he possibly know?" The President bluntly added that he was "not going to pay any attention" to the proposed resolution. Besides recommending such steps as replacing the Multi-National Force with U.N. peace-keeping troops, the text called upon Reagan to submit a written report within 30 days detailing his progress toward achieving a Marine pullout. Some Democrats urged a specific timetable, but the prevailing view was that to set a withdrawal date would embolden Lebanese President Amin Gemayel's foes, which in turn would prompt Republican charges that the Democrats had stymied a political...
