Whatever the ultimate outcome, Bunker, Herbert and Lamar Hunt cannot escape the striking symbolism of their company's bankruptcy filing. Here was the clan that embodied all that was bold, brash and rich about the American oil patch. Yet today, like many a lone Texas wildcatter, the Hunt brothers are hurting -- and not even the hugest gusher can provide a cure...
...reigned from 1975 to 1985. They had played each other a record 72 times in 14 months: a five-month, 48-game marathon that ended without a winner in February 1985, and a second match that finished last November in a smashing 13-11 victory for the brash, high-living Kasparov. Last week they began Round 3 in London, with Games 73, 74 and 75 (all draws).

She does her brash best to break loose, but her efforts are more brave than successful. Doubtless her first auteur, D.W. Griffith, warned her there would be roles like this. And movies like this, signaling good intentions at every turn, but never quite achieving them...
Hello, Joe Bash. This ABC entry, created by Danny Arnold (Barney Miller), is not only the oddest new comedy of the season, it is also the smartest and most unexpectedly moving. Peter Boyle plays Joe, an embittered middle-aged New York cop who pounds the beat with a brash young partner, Willie (Andrew Rubin). The pair traverse the desolate city streets and cope with the unglamorous trivia of everyday police life. A woman is found dead in her apartment, and Joe and Willie debate what to do with the bag of money she has left. An old man wanders into...
