A Nairn (moretap), Monday, 11 April 2005 03:37 (twenty years ago)

Apparently this:

"Out go five Cabinet members in a shake-up that shocks the country "We've burned down the house to roast the pig." Borrowing this image from English Essayist Charles Lamb, an aghast White House official summed up the most extraordinary week in the White House since Richard Nixon resigned in 1974. In four days, Jimmy Carter dismantled the leadership of his Government by demanding the resignations of his top 34 Cabinet and staff aides. And then−the chairs of power theoretically empty−he set about firing those he deemed ineffective, disloyal, political liabilities, annoyances..."

I love the way these covers seem to imply the staff alternating between "Hey, let's try something DARING and DIFFERENT" and "Nah, that was a bad idea -- back to the old dull style"

Actress Britt Ekland sometimes travels in fast company. On location in Rhodesia for a film titled Slavers, Rock Singer Rod Stewart's lady recently showed up on the set with a pair of borrowed cheetahs. "They're incredibly tame," she says. "If they see prey, they go down on all fours in a stalking motion. You just say, 'Heel, cheetahs,' and they go back to normal." Swedish-born Britt is equally sanguine about the political troubles of racially torn Rhodesia. "It's one of the happiest countries in Africa," she coos. "We haven't heard a single shot or seen one terrorist." O.K., Britt. But don't forget to feed the cats.

The whiff of gunpowder is conspicuously lacking in the sanitized gambling dens that governments run. Yet even in these Airwicked parlors, many bettors divine that gods, not odds, are at work. At a mid town Manhattan OTB (OffTrack Betting) shop last week, a 20-year-old secretary named Donna said: "I'm on a diet, see, and instead of putting two bucks into a burger and a shake for lunch, I'm putting it on a race. No, I haven't won anything yet, but I've still got to lose 20 pounds. Then I'm gonna win big, so I can buy clothes and stuff, and that'll be my reward from Up There. I got it coming, you know?"
