...probably difficult for people to minimize the effects of their own biological rhythms. For example, you cannot avoid your morning risk by simply waking up later. Some researchers have tried an experimental model, in which people were instructed to stay in bed for four hours after they woke up before rising. But the same pattern simply occurred four hours after waking, because the risk is linked to our activities. We can't be afraid of the catecholamines and the peak in blood pressure in the morning. It's part of our physiology. And for healthy people...
...about to be blown to shards, klutzy Assistant D.A. Tom Logan (Redford) and plucky Lawyer Laura Kelly (Winger) find a forklift tractor (and the keys), jump on, start it and crash through a metal door, all in five seconds. Logan, who has made tabloid headlines by being caught in bed with a spacey artist (Daryl Hannah) the night she is supposed to have killed her ex-lover, is allowed to act as one of her attorneys at the murder trial. Finally, the real murderer forces Kelly and the artist to bang noisily on a sculpture while dozens of guests attend...
...month on its first U.S. visit since 1948. Guillem stands out with a sensational, long- limbed body and a cool, thoroughly modern wit. In alphabetical order, then, to avoid billing squabbles, portrait sketches of the three: ALTYNAI ASYLMURATOVA. ''She was an Oriental beauty, and she dreamed of lying in bed being fanned--a modern Scheherazade. And so I bit her.'' That is Kirov Artistic Director Oleg Vinogradov's fanciful way of explaining how he put iron willpower into his prize ballerina. Asylmuratova (Ah-sil-mu-rah- tova) has an expansive, luscious quality. In a tantalizing way, she seems to represent...
...African government went into a new kind of laager. At 12:01 a.m. Thursday, thousands of gun-toting police and troops rumbled out of their stations and barracks in the armored personnel carriers that are today's covered wagons. By the time dawn broke, authorities had rousted out of bed and taken into custody hundreds of antiapartheid activists, and assumed positions on city streets and in black townships. In the folklore of the country's Afrikaners, the settlers almost always win. But it was far from clear last week whether this modern laager would quell South Africa's latest siege...
...easier to deal with dictators than rock 'n' rollers,'' said Healey with a grin. A few acts were quick to sign on, however. Sting, who has been on the road with a new band for the past 18 months, says only Amnesty could have dragged him out of bed to perform. Because of Bono's sympathies, U2 canceled two summer tour weeks to play for free. In the end, Healey had a suitably superstar lineup, snaring Ruben Blades, Jackson Browne, Miles Davis, Carlos Santana and Pete Townshend for spot appearances. Even Sean Penn and Madonna emceed in Los Angeles...
