Aeroflot Flight SU 297 from Moscow was slightly ahead of schedule. The blue and white, three-engine Tupolev 154 taxied to a stop on the tarmac some 200 yards from the main terminal at Madrid's Ba rajas Airport. After a brief delay, the doors opened and a frail figure in black descended the forward boarding ladder. At exactly 7:54 p.m. last Friday, Dolores Ibarruri, 81, La Pasionaria* of Spanish Civil War fame and president of the Spanish Communist Party, set foot on Spanish soil for the first time in 38 years...

...however, and knows that "this is a very, very dangerous time for me. Dealing with Hollywood studios is like being courted by a great prince. At first they're lovely, murmuring 'Oh, my sweet girl, how I adore you and want you.' I tell them, 'Ba fungoo!' They don't stop. They slip to their knees before you imploringly. But you can see in the brightness of their eyes that they know they are the great prince and in the end they are going to break your...
