...they moodily listen to golden oldies, the members of the Big Chill generation sometimes seem to prefer looking back to looking forward. They often long for a simpler and dreamier time of dates at the drive-in, before real life intruded on their teenage idylls. Yet, as demonstrated in a poll for TIME by Yankelovich, Clancy, Shulman, Baby Boomers have not lost the American birthright of optimism about the future. While they may not live quite as well as their parents, a surprising number think they do, and most feel they have more freedom to choose their own life-styles...
...since the day before Spring Break (when "The Big Chill" and "St. Elmo's Fire" were screened), the 10-year old duos are back--only now they're at the one-screen Janus Cinema on nearby JFK Street...
Forty-five Thoroughbred horses, one stable pony, several cats, rabbits and a goat were killed a few weeks ago in a fire at New York's Belmont Park, producing a momentary headline as familiar as the chill of winter.

On the eastern side of the 420-ft. crossing, the Soviet hammer-and-sickle flag and the black-red-and-gold banner of the German Democratic Republic flapped in the chill breeze off the ice-clogged Havel River. Most of the time the iron span in the forested Wannsee district of southwestern Berlin is a bridge leading nowhere, unused except for the occasional official vehicle...
Football has turned into a machine dream for most of us. It is a game now played at its most domineering level by impossibly large, improbably rich young men on Sunday afternoons. There may be a chill in the air of a domed stadium, but it derives from the air conditioning and it does not carry the scent of burning leaves. The grass may be greener indoors, but for that we have to thank some faceless chemical conglomerate, not Pops the groundkeeper. And television somehow seems to dehumanize the skills of the players; it turns them into the A-Team...
