...time Vance had finished his three-hour meeting with Jordan's King Hussein at the luxurious Hashimiyeh Palace outside Amman, he had scrapped the working group" idea. The Syrians and Jordanians had apparently convinced him that any talks this fall will be strictly bilateral. More significantly, Vance said that the U.S. now preferred the kind of Geneva Conference the Arabs have in mind. Despite major differences on the question of Israeli withdrawals and the Palestinians, the Jordanians were happy with the results of the talks, now sensing that Washington is coming around to the Arab view on both issues...
Across the country, gay communities responded to the Miami defeat with angry marches. In San Francisco, 5,000 activists staged a noisy, impromptu three-hour parade downtown after hearing of the loss. In Chicago, about 175 men and women held a candlelight vigil at midnight. In New York, hundreds of homosexuals marched through Greenwich Village for two straight nights shouting "Gay rights now!" On both evenings, former Congresswoman Bella Abzug, who is running for mayor, calmed the crowds.

Never has a three-hour chunk of celluloid flown by so quickly in recent memory, and I include the Godfather epics in that statement. Joan Baez' rendition of "Swing...
