Castro first met Keaton in Manhattan last March while reporting on Woody Allen's film Annie Hall. This time she arranged to spend a week with the actress in Los Angeles, where Keaton was relaxing before returning to the East Coast to work in another Allen film. For Castro, who lived and went to school in Berkeley, it was like going home again. Says she: "Because we both grew up in California, we had a lot in common.

His series of famed singers and actresses belting out "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" will bring down any house, so carefully honed are his Channings and Ellas. Co-star Hollis McLaren...

Va.) that the House should debate the bill first, since Senate confirmation is likely despite an inevitable filibuster by Sen. James B. Allen (D-Ala.). The big issue now, Green says, is when Speaker O'Neill, in conference with the White House, will schedule floor debate and votes...
