...Louis are, she reduces the film's "straights" into one-dimensional jokes. Fernand's ex-wife is a case in point. She sports grotesque polyester clothes, has a permanent Pat Nixon hairdo and screams continually at her children. Her voice grates across the screen like razors on a chalk board. Yet two questions arise--if she was this horrible, why would a man of Fernand's obvious sensibility ever have married her, and second, can Serreau have no compassion at all for this lower middle class French woman whose husband leaves her with two small children for another...
DIED. Paul Dessau, 84, East German composer of operas and incidental music best known for his collaborations with Bertolt Brecht (Mother Courage, The Caucasian Chalk Circle); in East Berlin. Following a career as a violinist and conductor of the Staädtische Oper in Berlin, Dessau fled the Nazis in 1939 for America, where he began writing the dissonant scores that so effectively complemented Brecht's scripts.

Shero even leaves the disciplining of the team to the players themselves. Shortly after taking over the badly divided Rangers last June, he approved the appointment of six captains; the six set team policy, levy fines and take turns leading...

...long overdue obituary for Sid Vicious. Sid Vicious had the extraordinary good fortune of the very, very few who are born into an artistic movement that mirrors their inner sensibility, whose untrammeled self-expression jibes exactly, as if predestined, with the zeitgeist. He was the quintessential punk, with his chalk-white, emaciated body, his spiked hair and suicide-scars and drunken, fun-loving leer. When he danced the pogo, it became the rage; when he pieced together his clothes with safety pins, that device became the emblem of an entire subculture. He realized that old age would be a breach...
