Regan, denying the Federal Reserve Board is being used as a scapegoat, said Sunday the administration "will take the blame or the credit*' for what happens to the economy. Meanwhile. White House budget director David A. Stockman said the president will send Congress next week a l°83 spending plan containing "a major sw/eeping program to reduce the size of the deficit." including cuts in social benefit programs. Stockman also endorsed the Federal Reserve's tight-credit policies for bringing down inflation. "Despite some rece«t administration discomfort" over the way the nation's central bank has followed it policies, he said, "No one in the Poll shows that most Americans believe Reaganomics have helped the rich and hurt the poor. See story, p. 13. administration believes the course is wrong." In separate television interviews. Regan and Stockman sought to play down the amount of friction that appears to be developing between the White House and the powerful, independent Fed over how to end a worsening recession and return the nation to prosperity. "We are not trying to make the Fed a scapegoat ..." Regan said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "First of all, we'll take the blame or the credit for what's going to happen to this economy, I think it will be credit."

  • New on Video &
    New On Video & DVD Yes Man Jim Carrey returns to hilarious form with this romantic comedy in the same vein as the Carrey classic Liar Liar. After a few stints in more serious features like Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and The Number 23, Carrey seems right at home playing Carl, a divorcé who starts out the film depressed and withdrawn, scared of taking a risk. Pressured by his best friend, Peter (Bradley Cooper), to get his act together or be stuck with a lonely life, Carl attends a New Age self-help seminar intended to change "no men" like Carl into "yes men" willing to meet life's challenges with gusto. Carl is reluctant at first, but finds the seminar to be ultimately life-changing when he's coerced into giving the "say yes" attitude a try. As the first opportunity to say yes presents itself, Carl hesitantly utters the three-letter word, setting the stage for a domino effect of good rewards, and giving Carrey a platform to show off his comic chops. But over time Carl realizes that saying yes to everything indiscriminately can reap results as complicated and messy as his life had become when saying "no" was his norm. The always-quirky Zooey Deschanel adds her signature charm as Carl's love interest, Allison. An unlikely match at first glance, the pair actually develop great chemistry as the story progresses, the actors play- ing off each other's different styles of humor. Rhys Darby also shines as Carl's loveable but clueless boss, and That 70s Show's Danny Masterson appears as another one of Carl's friends.

Many of the films listed were made in a time when filmmakers had to refrain from including curse words, exploitive sexuality or desensitizing violence. To younger members of the family, that means, these films are old! Understandably, a younger generation will not relate to styles and mannerisms of a time gone by, but here is something to keep in mind. Though haircuts change and clothing tightens, people all desire to be warm, to be fed, to be loved, to be respected, etc. In other words, we share a commonality with those of all generations. We’re really not all that different from one another. The following movies will entertain because they contain the most special special effect of all: great storytelling.

  • GUNSMOKE TV CAST and DETAILS Premiered
    GUNSMOKE TV CAST AND DETAILS Premiered: September 10, 1955, on CBS Rating: TV-PG Premise: This landmark adult Western centered on Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City. John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing). Gunsmoke Cast • James Arness : Marshal Matt Dillon • Milburn Stone : Dr. Galen `Doc' Adams • Amanda Blake : Kitty Russell • Dennis Weaver : Chester Goode • Ken Curtis : Festus Haggen • Burt Reynolds : Quint Asper • James Nusser : Louie Pheeters • Charles Seel : Barney Danches • Howard Culver : Howie Culver • Tom Brown : Ed O'Connor • John Harper : Percy Crump • Dabbs Greer : Mr. Jonus • George Selk : Moss Grimmick • Hank Patterson : Hank Miller • Glenn Strange : Sam • Sarah Selby : Ma Smalley • Ted Jordan : Nathan Burke • Roger Ewing : Clayton Thaddeus `Thad' Greenwood • Roy Roberts : Mr. Bodkin • Woody Chamblis : Mr. Lathrop • Buck Taylor : Newly O'Brien • Charles Wagenheim : Halligan • Pat Hingle : Dr. John Chapman • Fran Ryan : Miss Hannah Gunsmoke Credits • Sam Peckinpah : Screenwriter Gunsmoke Directors • Harry Horner : Director Gunsmoke Guest Cast • Aaron Saxon : Basset • Aaron Spelling : Weed Pindle • Abraham Sofaer : Harvey Easter • Adam West : Hall

  • The Last of Sheila a Whodunit? No Question
    NOIR…OR NOT? Rosemarie Keenan s The Last of Sheila a whodunit? No question. A show business satire? You bet. A dark comedy? Unquestionably. But is it noir? Your captain says yes. In order to make the case, though, we’re going to Ihave to take a close look at the film. Quite close. Unmask-the-killer close. So if you haven’t seen the movie, you may want to head ashore before the gangway is raised. A weekend in the country, the bees in their hives, The shallow worldly figures, the frivolous lives. — “A Weekend in the Country” from A Little Night Music Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim The 1973 film, directed by Herbert Ross from a script by Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkins, collects a half-dozen Holly- wood friends for a week-long Mediterranean cruise aboard the Sheila, the yacht of imperi- ous producer Clinton Green (James Coburn). The industry insiders are gorgeous actress Alice (Raquel Welch); her loutish manager/ husband Anthony (Ian McShane); Philip (James Mason), a once-esteemed director now helming TV commercials; struggling screenwriter Tom (Richard Benjamin); his wealthy wife Lee (Joan Hackett); and brassy agent Christine (Dyan Cannon). Our unsuspecting passengers are in for more than just a vacation. Clinton has planned the trip to commemorate the one-year anniver- sary of the hit-and-run death of his wife Sheila, killed the night of a party attended by several of the invitees. The driver was never iden- tified. The pre-credit sequence, in which Sheila (played by Hammer Films actress Yvonne Romain) runs along the dark streets of Bel Air doesn’t reveal much except that caftans worn without bras were acceptable hostess attire in the early seventies.
