...busy career in French films, including Passion and Entre Nous (both 1983) and, opening in the U.S. this week, Sincerely Charlotte, directed by her sister Elisabeth, 38. Of her two previous American-made outings, Rosebud (1975) struck few sparks and Heaven's Gate (1980) dropped a megaton bomb. Undaunted, Huppert is trying English again. Cactus, an Australian drama, opens in October, and she just finished shooting a mystery in Baltimore called The Bedroom Window. She plays a sultry, sophisticated woman, a "black angel," as she puts it, who cheats on her husband and fails to report a crime because...

Felipe Presidente!" The postelection calm was briefly broken Wednesday when a bomb exploded in checked luggage at the Madrid terminal of El Al, the Israeli airline, injuring 13 people, two of them seriously...
...plant in northern Nevada. Succumbing to public pressure to clean up its old demolition ranges, the Army last year turned over to a civilian contractor the tricky business of clearing the Hawthorne site, which had become a sprawling dump for more than 30 years' worth of defective or leftover bombs. The winner of the $3.2 million contract was a small new firm based in Washington named UXB International. (UXB, which stands for "unexploded bomb," was in the title of a BBC and PBS television series.) The company was set up by a former Navy lieutenant, Phillip Hough, who served...
