...whose packages--work-study or otherwise--have kept pace with costs seem to share nonetheless in the anxiety. Though plenty of aid recipients face no problems in the coming year, a "near miss" mentality makes itself known. "I'm getting thorugh at just the right time, I guess," says Colleen Ogle '83, an Ohio native whose senior-year grant grew proportionally to costs. "I felt very lucky--I knew it's getting tougher all the time...
...Australian Gone With the Wind, and for the filmed version, yet another fair Englishwoman walked off with the lead. Rachel Ward, 24 (Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid), is cast as Meggie in The Thorn Birds, a nine-hour ABC-TV "novel for television" based on Colleen McCullough's 1977 bestseller.

But Mom and Dad loved McCullough's first book, and they'll probably love you for getting them this book by the same author...
...Long Last Love hope to execute a triple homage to his former Galatea, Cybill Shepherd? The film's three ingenues all bear traces of the Delphic Cybill: Dorothy Stratten has the blond hair and the even features, Patti Hansen the mobile mouth in search of the perfect smirk, Colleen Camp the Texas twang and eerie talent for grating on the most placid moviegoer's nerves...
