...Eyes of Laura Mars appears to have everything--beautiful Faye Dunaway as the trendy Beautiful People photographer, a dash of the occult, fear, hysteria, mystery and violence. Except to accommodate these trends, this movie's plot is improbable at best and absurd at worst. Dunaway plays a fashion photographer whose photos are in because they include images of violence and death. The twist comes when the people Dunaway "shoots" die violent deaths in about the same poses. Apparently, Dunaway has some kind of psychic link with the killer, and the race is on to see who will...
Baryshnikov's debut, as Frantz in Coppelia, was at a matinee. The crowd was full of mothers and kids who had bought seats long before the announcement of Baryshnikov's appearance. Frantz is an ebullient young man; his entrance is a headlong dash to the front of the stage.

The good news is that federal aid, abetted by academic enterprise, private initiative and a dash of Iron Curtain intrigue, may soon put this exquisite fishy fudge on middle-income toast...
...diary. "Huge pieces of ice are slowly revolving around me. Cracks are opening up amidst a roaring, splintering sound." Detouring to skirt the danger area, he was confronted by huge open stretches of water. Overnight, new ice about 10 inches thick formed over the open water. "I made a dash over the new ice," he wrote, "and in about 2½ hours I had made it across to solid ice again. I felt weak with relief." On the 52nd day, severe winds again forced him to stop...
