...glamorous Buenos Aires, arriving as the amorous baggage of a cornball bari tone guitarist (Mark Syers). She soon acquires a sardonic shadow, a one-man Greek chorus in the anomalous figure of Che Guevara (Mandy Patinkin). Che dogs every step of Eva's checkered ascent through calculated boudoir encounters and forays into stage, films and radio un til she meets, seduces and marries Juan Perón (Bob Gunton) and comes to wield an awesome share of his dictatorial power. The idea of using Guevara as a moral commentator and social conscience is quintessentially farcical, but Patinkin pours Brechtian...
...restaurants and bars throughout the country last week, disc jockeys were spinning the group's recording of Rasputin, which has been issued by the government record company Melodiya.

Her recipes lean heavily on their titles (Heavenly Peach Pie, Boudoir Cheesecake), and her menus on their scenarios. Thus the You Tiger You meal features a hearty beef Stroganoff and a Reconcile Feast includes stuffed pork chops and coconut cream pie. "It's so important," she insists, "to furnish men happy moments at mealtime." Her husband Charlie takes a judicious...
...category, where it ranks tenth this week. Truth to tell (so to speak), The Final Conclave is a farrago of fact, speculation, misinformation and fiction. In somewhat the same vein, Rader uses silly, intrusive episodes that feature F.D.R. speaking at a revival, and Aimee Semple McPherson blathering in her boudoir, and dots his hero's career with heavyhanded parallels to the life of Billy Graham...
