...Come Back to the 5 and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. "An artist isn't intimidated. Once I couldn't sing. Now I can." In a formidable cast that includes Karen Black, 39 (Five Easy Pieces) and Sandy Dennis, 44 (The Four Seasons), Cher plays a garrulous cocktail waitress who is hired on as an extra in the 1956 James Dean-Liz Taylor movie, Giant, when it is filmed in her small Texas town. The play also marks the Broadway bow of Film Maker Robert Altman, 55 (M*A*S*H, Nashville), who anticipates no star-director skirmishes...
...Muscle Man Charles Atlas beckoned to boys from ads in comic books (Don't let bullies kick sand in your face, weakling) and a few grownups even lifted weights at Vic Tanny's. By the early '70s, however, a sweeping change was literally afoot.

But this past summer in the Hague saw an angry American community denounee the Dutch government and the Peoples Republic of China sever diplomatic relations. Because Holland has long been a close ally of the United States and was one of the first members of the United Nations to recognize the Beijing government, the summer's events beg the question of what this tiny lowland state--traditionally and self-consciously moderate--could have done...
...oddity was that five of the jurors were under 24, all singles who had been living at home with their parents, and they naturally formed a social group. They invented a cocktail they called the "Pontiac" (Amaretto and soda with a twist of lime). They held occasional mock trials at which one of them proved adept at imitating the lawyers involved in the case. On April Fools' Day, Linda Tumino, 21, hid in the back of the sheriffs bus and caused a momentary panic among the deputies when they found themselves missing one juror. "All it was was party...
