Your story on the award of a contract for New York City subway cars [July 26] is somewhat misleading. You refer to the loss of the contract by the Budd Co. of Troy, Mich., to Canada's Bombardier Inc., but neglect to mention that the cars will be assembled in Bombardier's U.S. plant in Barre, Vt. You imply that several hundred jobs will be lost to Budd, but ignore the new jobs that will be created with Bombardier in Vermont, and also those that will be saved at Westinghouse Electric in New York, where motors and other...
That is exactly what disturbs many of the old-line liberals, who fear that the high-tech Democrats will neglect the party's traditional commitment to the poor and minorities. Kennedy alluded to this in Philadelphia. "Rethinking our ideas should never be an excuse for retreating from our ideals," he declared.

...emotions permeates the movie, filling in several of the more obvious holes in the script.

Dyan Cannon, as the object of Ivan's brief infatuation is appealing but virtually wasted in a flamboyant role that doesn't quite fit into the mild-mannered atmosphere of the movie...
North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms at Grove City College in Grove City, Pa.: "We live in a time when the characteristic values of the West are collapsing, disintegrating, decomposing. This is hardly surprising be cause these values have fallen victims to neglect and indifference on the part of those who have most benefited from them, and of assault and battery on the part of those who should be their staunchest defenders. That is why I presume to ask you on this very special day to consider the proposition that we become part of what we condone. In this regard, much...
