...portrays a charming wife, whose dialogue compensates for her insipidity. Admittedly, there's not much time in this snatch of a story for nuance in personalities. Perhaps that's why the comic characters come off best--they each have a bundle of idiosyncrasies to lean on. Heurtebise, clad in blue overalls, shuffles around in a loose-ankled, slightly pigeon-toed walk, with his hands clasped tightly against his waist. The unworldly astonishment never fades from his pudgy face. A natty clerk displays an uninspiredly clever knack for his work that his pompous boss lacks, and briefly supplants the others with...
...would like to be known as Sir Charles, not Sir Charlie," announced Charlie Chaplin, 85, shortly after receiving his long-overdue knighthood from Britain's Queen Elizabeth II. Chaplin, who arrived for his investiture at Buckingham Palace clad in morning clothes and blue suede shoes, accepted his dubbing from a wheelchair, then retired to the Savoy Hotel to accept congratulations from Prime Minister Harold Wilson and other fans.

"Betty Ford," they intoned, "will be remembered as the unelected First Lady who pressured second-rate manhood on American women." The mummery was yet another attack upon Mrs. Ford for her enthusiastic lobbying on behalf of the Equal Rights Amendment, which would guarantee women equality with men under the law. But the self-possessed First Lady was hardly unnerved. "I went to bed laughing," she said. "Jerry...

Inside, the two men found Amelia (whom friends and family called Amy) dead, bludgeoned about the head and stabbed in the neck. Clad in a blood-soaked T shirt and white panties and partly covered with a bed sheet, the girl was lying in a pool of blood on the floor. The wall near by was spattered with blood; her two small dogs were cowering under...
