...stricken star of Tootsie, due out later this year, making the film has been a complete drag. "His breasts fall down. The high heels hurt his feet. The makeup causes pimples, and the heat makes his beard show through after a couple of hours," says sympathetic Director Sydney Pollack. The breast-fallen lady he is referring to is that model of middle-aged primness, Dustin Hoffman, 44. In Tootsie, the actor renowned for his demanding perfectionism plays an actor so renowned for his demanding perfectionism that he finally has to go into distaff disguise to get a part. Tales...
With golden medals glimmering on the breast of his dark suit, Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev slowly made his way though the lilacs and carnations to the podium. "Glory! Glory!" chanted 6,000 exultant members of the Young Communist League as their ailing leader, in his deep and slurred growl, began to speak.

The plate allows infants to be given an ordinary bottle or even to be breast-fed in a normal position. Markowitz tries to get the device into place within 24 hours after birth so that the baby will not consider the object foreign. It takes him about an hour to make an impression of the baby's mouth and craft the appliance in quick...
Ronald Reagan was wearing a dark blue suit with a white handkerchief deftly planted in his breast pocket-the standard uniform of many a presidential tour. But he was also wearing a pair of rubber rain boots, hastily borrowed from a local farmer named Greg Miller. The occasion: a quick stop in Fort Wayne, Ind., where for a few minutes last week the President joined a crew of flood-control workers in passing sandbags to be stacked along the muddy banks of the swollen St. Mary's River...
