...counterstrike swiftly followed. The competing commercial showed a small carrottop boy playing with wooden alphabet blocks that spell Star Wars; he is vainly trying to arrange them to spell Peace Shield. A portentous voice intones, "Matthew's learning what adults already know: when someone wants to mislead you, they try to change the name." Then, an epiphany: "I got it!" Matthew says. "Space Wars...
...Hair volume and color. More than half of the cover of Rebecca Brandewyne's Rainbow's End is gorgeous red hair that would make Sy Sperling weep in envy.

As actor and pianist, Craig has earned well over $200,000 so far, and he owns an apartment house in the Los Angeles suburb of Sherman Oaks...
...Celtics do it? They have a brilliant coach in Arnold ("Red") Auerbach, 47, a cantankerous carrottop who tells his players: "If any of you think this is a democracy we are running here, forget it. I'm a dictator." They also have pro basketball's best defensive player in Bill Russell, a goateed giant who leads the N.B.A. in rebounds, ranks fourth in assists...
