...hosted by Tom Chapin, a personable, hairy chap wearing an embroidered work shirt and bellbottoms, who sings nicely and plays a good guitar. Last week's première segment dealt with the words bull and fly. The visuals ran rapidly through the various kinds of "bull"-bullfrog, bully, Bull Moose Party, rodeo bull, bulldogs. "That is a lot of bull," Chapin remarked inevitably. The segment on flying managed to trace that activity from Icarus to the 747 via Superman...

Huge kudu eyes, wide, hungry mouth, bullfrog-in-a-barrel baritone: Hildegard Knef came sauntering out of rubbled Berlin to become an international star -for the U.S. a sexy fraulein figure renamed Hildegarde Neff, for Germany a second and more controversial Dietrich. And here it is: the expectable show biz autobiography. But not the predictable boredom: The Gift Horse sold 300,000 copies in Germany.

England's Princess Anne, 20, took in the flicks with a new date-Sam Shepherd, 19, ex-furrier's apprentice, son of a docker and star of a low-budget film called Bronco Bullfrog. To protest his movie's removal from a London theater to make room for the premiere of Laurence Olivier's version of Chekhov's The Three Sisters, Sam had dropped Anne a line, asking her to see it with him. While waiting for her at the cinema, Sam fortified himself at the next-door pub with two pints of bitter...

...enemies have called him "the bloated bullfrog" and "the clergyman in jackboots." But the Rev. I.R.K. (for Ian Richard Kyle) Paisley, leader of Northern Ireland's extremist Protestants, demonstrated last week that his militant anti-Catholicism has strong appeal to his country's rank-and-file Protestant voters. He handily won a seat in Ulster's 52-member Parliament at Stormont, while one of his close colleagues, the Rev. William Beattie, 27, scored an upset in a second by-election...
