...brunette one in ABBA, the '70s Ur-pop group, is back. A Swedish division of Warner Music is releasing her first album in 12 years, Djup Andetag (Deep Breath). It's in Swedish, so the songs may prove blessedly less tenacious than ABBA hits like S.O.S. Since the band broke up, Lyngstad, who's married to Italian architect Prince Ruzzo Reuss, has worked with environmental and antidrug causes in Switzerland. Agnetha Faltskog has lived in heavily guarded seclusion in Stockholm, and Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus have been working on music projects. Lyngstad's not the only one resurfacing. Faltskog...
...home sellers. Clinton did get a good piece of economic news on Thursday from a report that the economy grew faster than expected in the second quarter and that new homes sales in July shot up to their highest level in five months. Before the news about Morris broke Thursday, the convention had gone as planned with Clinton gaining back much of his lead over GOP challenger Bob Dole.

The most puzzled-over and envied couple of their industry didn't even curtail their social schedule. They co-hosted a party and afterward broke the news to gossip diva Liz Smith. Nobody is saying whether the rift was caused by the pressure of being married to a man so famous his name is synonymous with underpants, or whether the oft-repeated suggestion that the marriage was a sham is true. "They intend to make every effort to work...
...unresolved sexual-harassment cases. The Japanese automaker has quietly circulated word among U.S. public relations firms that it is searching for a new head of p.r.--with important damage-control prerequisites. The candidate must: be a woman; reside in the assembly-plant town of Normal, Illinois, where the scandal broke; and pass an interview with the plant's Japanese manager. Despite a salary said to be near $200,000 and a requirement of only five years' experience, there have been no takers. Meanwhile, the company is enduring a federal investigation that may involve as many as several hundred complaints from...
