BEFORE TENS OF MILLIONS of viewers, the nominees for what is arguably the world's most powerful office bask in the penetrating glare of studio lights, and the most telegenic candidate wins the day. The debates have proven to be more of a screen test than a test of the contenders' ideas and qualifications. The candidate who delivers the best performance lands the leading role...
When we last saw David Bowie, 37, the neon rocker had cleaned up his glitter-king image in order to bask in "the serious moonlight." But Bowie has more disguises than a chameleon, and in his new 20-minute video for the song Blue Jean, from his soon-to-be-released album Tonight, Bowie assumes two roles.

...Party's probable (and self-proclaimed) presidential candidate last week outlined his job description for a running mate, and the prime prospects awaited their pilgrimage to North Oaks.

Newcomers, on the other hand, must wait their turn with a patience that tries both talent and dreams. The top rank is tough to crack, for the edge always goes to the headliners. Tiffany Chin, who at 16 was competing brilliantly in her first Olympics, could bask in a strong showing while cheerfully accepting the virtual impossibility of a medal. She had finished twelfth in the compulsory figures, and even with a runaway victory in the free skating while others faltered badly, a silver medal was the best she could have won. Said Chin: "I skated good figures...
