With her sinewy shanks and thewy thighs, the new nurse in Pine Valley Hospital on ABC's daytime soaper All My Children could easily be a pro- athlete. She is: it's Czech-born Tennis Czarina Martina Navratilova-, 22, making her acting debut. As a nurse named Bolasni in episode No. 2,448, Navratilova is on-camera for exactly four seconds, time enough to walk past a couch and out of the picture.

Recently, Green Beret Captain Robert Marasco appeared on the show to justify his killing of a Vietnamese double agent. On another program, Fashion-Model Czarina Eileen Ford got into a ranting match with two other women over whether mannequins are sexually promiscuous (some are, some aren't). Author Luigi Barzini told of the time that Mussolini, accompanied by a phalanx of officials and journalists, was motoring through the countryside. Suddenly the caravan halted and Il Duce got out and walked to a wall, apparently to gaze at the scene. Everybody else respectfully went over to share the leader's bucolic...
