...Deauville erotic express in which the plangent hearts of Jean-Louis Trintignant and Anouk Aimee beat to an inane, unforgettable score. The picture was a worldwide hit, won a couple of Oscars and provided upscale young couples with an excuse to drive fast and twirl rapturously on the beach. Now Lelouch has reunited his stars for A Man and a Woman: 20 Years Later. Aimee, whose features have calcified chicly, is a movie producer desperate to make a musical version of their tryst. Trintignant, who looks weary and has every reason to be, gets lost in the desert...
Parked on the shoulder of Interstate 45 between Houston and the Galveston beaches, the white GMC Blazer appears to be a disabled car, until beach-bound speeders approach. Then they're captured -- in a flash. A combination cameraradar-computer unit snaps the car's license number and the driver's frequently startled face, as well as the date, time, speed and location. Since May, some 1,200 drivers have been nailed by the high-tech Doppler radar system.The film is developed, the license plate number matched to the car owner, and then the offenders are notified by mail. Only clearly...

Audience members struck back with metal chairs and whatever else came to hand, until police armed with batons broke up the concert. Forty-five people were injured, including...
Come to Laurenland, the images whisper, where fantasy and finery go together like hand in well-stitched glove. Watch polo matches in Palm Beach, trim in a crested blazer and trousers of crisp linen. Sip cognac by the fireplace of a Sun Valley, chalet, snug under a brightly colored Navajo blanket and clad in a Nordic apres-ski sweater and wool twill slacks. Go on safari in Kenya wearing a bush jacket and khaki shorts that would do justice to Robert Redford in Out of Africa. Sip tea at London's Connaught Hotel, draped to perfection in a chalk-stripe...
...site is postcard pretty: a turquoise ocean washes against a black sand beach rimmed by coconut trees. The perfect spot for a resort complex, complete with a 130-room hotel, bungalows, convention center and gambling casino. That planned capitalist paradise is on the Pacific coast of Marxist- led Nicaragua. The war-torn nation wants to build the resort to attract tourists from the U.S. and Canada and raise badly needed cash...
