...York Correspondent Cathy Booth was amazed that supposedly sophisticated teenagers knew so little about birth control. Says she: "There is an astounding level of ignorance and embarrassment that I thought this post-sexual revolution generation didn't have. These girls were not prepared at all and told themselves that nothing could happen to them." Los Angeles Correspondent Melissa Ludtke found the teens she interviewed strangely reticent about sex. "The last thing they want to do is tell an authority figure that they are having sex. That rules out a doctor, pharmacist or parent who might give good contraceptive advice...
...series, called the PEN Celebrations, played first at the Booth and later at the Roy ale on Broadway, donated for the purpose by the Shubert Organization. Among the writers who appeared were Joan Didion, Susan Sontag, William Styron, John Updike, Woody Allen and Mailer himself, who agreed to debate sometime Archrival Gore Vidal. Indeed, the Vidal-Mailer matchup was a major draw for the series, and no wonder: their previous encounters have been dramatic, head-butting and drink-throwing affairs. But the latest showdown was disappointing. "A meeting between two toothless tigers," Mailer called...
...decadent splendor, Marcos-style, was afforded by a private collection of more than 500 videotapes unearthed in Manila and New York. In one of the tapes, taken by an exclusive presidential crew, Imelda cavorts with bejeweled guests in a private Malacaņang disco, complete with disk jockey's booth and man-made waterfall. Another video chronicles an abandoned bacchanal aboard the presidential yacht, celebrating the birthday of the youngest of the three Marcos offspring, Irene Araneta, last year. A man in a baby bonnet bursts out of a cake. The First Lady jives under flashing strobe lights with an American...
...Johnson children charge that their stepmother "bullied and terrorized" their father, once even slapping his face. She turned his Florida estate into a gilded isolation booth, they complain, replacing the English-speaking help with Poles. They further maintain that she plotted to siphon off his wealth with the help of her friend Nina Zagat, a Yale Law graduate and Wall Street attorney who drew up the last sequence of wills. As co-executor and trustee of the estate, she stands to make as much as $10 million in commissions and fees. In the contested will, five of Johnson's children...
...essay the role of the brooding, mordantly comic, half-mad prince is to brave comparison with Garrick and Booth, Burton and Olivier. Kline may not yet rank among that pantheon, but he has vaulted over his contemporaries with this production. His performance ripens and changes night by night. It still seems unfinished in some scenes, too cautious in others, and is on the whole a bit quiet and constrained to energize a melodrama nearly four hours long. But he speaks the text with clarity and command, and he makes Hamlet believable as a whirlpool of contradictions: an inconstant avenger...
