...sabre fencers (no lights with this weapon) rush together, blades wavering threateningly above their heads. A blur of frenzied combat is followed by the familiar "halt" from the director, who supports his chin with the palm of his hand as he tries to reconstruct what happened in his mind. His pondering is interrupted by a fierce cry of "I'm waiting" from an Army assistant coach bearing down on the director with an intimidating stare. The director as much as turning his head in the direction of the shout calls "no touch" and restarts the bout. The Army coach...

What makes Horowitz the most exciting pianist in the world is not readily apparent from the look of him. Handsome? Hardly. His ears are too big, and his nose and chin much too long.

He still recalls that his predecessor, Gamal Abdel Nasser...

...wrote: "I always thought Miss Minnelli's face deserving-of first prize in the beagle category. It is a face going off in three directions simultaneously: the nose always en route to becoming a trunk, blubber lips unable to resist the pull of gravity, and a chin trying its damnedest to withdraw into the neck, apparently to avoid responsibility for what goes on above...

...safely behind bars, the writers declared that literature in China was free to demonstrate that "reality is complicated, varied and colorful" -even though true Communist art should reflect "the facts of revolutionary life." Carrying out this new literary policy, the People's Literature Publishing House has reissued Pa Chin's famed 1931 novel Family, a saga about the authoritarian family system in pre-Communist China. A kind of Chinese equivalent of Gone With the Wind, the novel was the basis of many film and theater versions until it disappeared from circulation in 1965. In a postscript...
