He later took part in the "days of rage" demonstration in Chicago, in which several hundred radicals went on a four-day rampage. Then, rather than answer criminal charges stemming from both episodes, Mark Rudd went underground. For seven years his face peered stonily from WANTED posters across the country. A special squad of FBI agents-up to 35 at one point-shadowed his friends, tapped their phones and examined their mail in a fruitless hunt...

What the world wants to know is whether Annie Hall and Alvy Singer will manage to get their inadequacies synchronized and live together anxiously ever after. The answer, neurosis fans, is yes! Woody Allen and Diane Keaton, who gave the '70s a love story to believe in, green and warty and sour as a good dill pickle, live together on Manhattan's East Side, in apartments ten blocks apart...
