...bustling Schmidt retains a boyish quality, never more so than when he is rooting for his favorite athletes, hockey's New York Rangers. His engaging lack of inhibition prompted him to accept a cameo role as a doctor in Woody Allen's forthcoming film Hannah and Her Sisters. Truth to tell, the movie appearance was set up by Schmidt's third wife, Helen Cutting Whitney, producer and director of ABC and PBS documentaries on such topics as McCarthyism and homosexuality, and co-author, with Eugenia Zuckerman, of a feature-film script titled K.589...

...sweat coming out of his ears. And the acting by the supporting cast also is fine, especially by John Rabinowitz '85 as a guest who points out the Sartrean dilemma of being and nothingness by throwing himself down on all fours "to pretend to be a hyena"--a cameo that culminates in Rabinowitz taking a chunk out of the leg of a fellow guest.

...employer's huffy outburst at her appearance, by remarking "Imagine what my boyfriend's boss is saying right now." Hare balances Alice's bohemianism with Susan's purified idealism--as Susan becomes progressively disconnected, Alice straightens herself out, eventually becoming one of Susan's few emotional supports. Sting's cameo as a London prole whom Susan selects to father her a child out of wedlock is well worth the price of admission. With his mean, hungry good locks, the King of Rock fits right in against the gray backround of urban grime and poverty, swaggering through the streets with...

...medalist. "The same type of muscles are involved." Lately he has also been concentrating on starting a new career as an actor. "It's not something I dreamed up one Olympic morning," says Louganis, who has studied acting for six years. So far he has turned down a few cameo television parts that sought to capitalize on his celebrity. But even a dream role would not keep him away from his earlier loves. "There's no place I'd rather be than in the diving pool," he says. "The pool is my sanctuary." And dancing? "That's something...
