...when the host gave them a pair of nylons, a month's supply of Palmolive and dinner for two at Casa Claude. Now, encouraged by a host who is a professed feminist, women wrangle with each other over issues like abortion and disarmament, and ask tough questions of guests ranging from Alan Alda and James Watson to transsexual twins and Henry Kissinger, who might have an easier time of it on Meet the Press.

Carrying a bouquet that could have concealed a good-size hacksaw, Sophia was cheered by fellow inmates as she was escorted to a 10-ft.-sq. cell. Skeptics attributed Loren's homecoming to her planned starring role...
...last December. A military man who states his views explicitly with few ifs, ands or buts, Galtieri has been compared to U.S. General George S. Patton and former Argentine President Juan Perón, with whom he shares a fondness for addressing large crowds from the balcony of the Casa Rosada, the presidential palace...
