...last October's traumatic coup. While his former deputy and usurper, Bernard Coard, still languishes in jail awaiting trial, T shirts depicting Bishop are selling for $15 apiece in a small second-floor room now known as the Maurice Bishop Memorial Center. Yet the New Jewel Movement remains coy about its political plans. Small wonder, then, that when Professor Adams asked the islanders whom they would like to see as Prime Minister, 77% would not name any local politician; 7% wistfully chose Ronald Reagan...
...Brooks sees them, his movie's mother and daughter are actually sisters under the skin, connected not just by kinship but by subtle parallels of emotions and experience. Aurora appears initially to be no more than that familiar figure of satire, the American Mom as American Nightmare, all coy snarls and fierce demureness, while Emma, protected only by a thin skin of perkiness, seems to be her victim. "You aren't special enough to overcome a bad marriage," Aurora snaps on the eve of Emma's wedding, voicing her own fears about what might happen...
...lunch with her, then took a train alone to Madrid. On his 32 films the Aragonian curmudgeon throws little light; neither Los Olvidados nor Viridiana nor Belle de Jour receives as much space as he lavishes on his recipe for the perfect dry martini.

With Americans currently enraged at the U.S.S.R. for shooting down a Korean airliner last month, and many U.S. arenas slamming their doors to traveling troupes of Soviet athletes, Moscow is being coy about its participation in Los Angeles. "Perverting the Olympic ideals," the triweekly newspaper Soviet Culture reports, "American Big Business has seized control of the preparations of the Games." The Soviets do not have to commit themselves until June...
...backstage banter about a romantic reconciliation and all the coy onstage asides were but means of bloating the box office of their ponderous Broadway revival of Noël Coward's comedy Private Lives. Mercifully, it seems that Richard Burton, 57, and Elizabeth Taylor, 51, may never replay their headline-grabbing love affair again. For last week, at the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas (what could be more romantic?), Burton wed his companion of the past 18 months, Sally Hay, 35. It was Burton's fifth reading of the wedding vows. (Past partners: Sybil Williams, Taylor, Taylor again...
