...surprisingly well known. A brilliant lawyer with blazing black eyes and a mane of thick silver hair, he returned from Eastern Europe to a tumultuous red-banner welcome only a few days after the April 1974 revolution that toppled the old right-wing dictatorship. Since then, with his debonair good looks, smooth manner and legendary reputation as a dedicated Communist opponent of the former regime, he has become probably the most formidable politician in Portugal...
...staffers called their new editor "the Iron Mouse" because of his self-deprecating manner and his irresistible whim. Slowly, meticulously, that whim widened The New Yorker's concerns and investigations. The world that the reader now entered became far more real and gritty, far less trivial and debonair. To the untutored eye, The New Yorker was the fixture as before; the magazine's makeup remained unaltered. The glittering Van-Cleef & Arpels brooches, the Boehm porcelains, the Rolls-Royces and Mercedes still whispered their seductions from the sidelines. But, incongruously, in the columns that threaded between these celebrations...
...Gedirey. Another William Powell picture, where at the beginning he plays a hobo and looks curiously like a late sixties movie hero, unshaven, gritty, and intense. But the burn gets adopted by a decadent wealthy family (one member is Carole Lombard), and Powell turns debonair again as the butler who reforms the family. Made in 1938 by Gregory La Cava. This, along with limitation of Life are showing Friday night (Godfrey at 9 p.m., the other at 7:30 and 11 p.m.) as part of the excellent Hollywood Film Series that's been going on at BU's Sherman Auditorium...
Henry F. Mosiello, 37, a debonair, pipe-smoking mechanical engineer from Union City, N.J., has drawn up incorporation papers and hopes to have New Vista Broadcasting Inc. in business by the end of January. Mosiello's corporate headquarters is in a dilapidated, 19th century building in Trenton, where the state of New Jersey required him to move in 1971. "The rent is right," says Mosiello, as he sits in his modest "office" -cell 105, 3 Tier, 6 Wing Right, Trenton State Prison. While other cons roam idly through 6 Wing, struggling with the numbing daily routine inside what they...
...that Actress Debbie Reynolds, 42, romancing on the screen with the ever confident, debonair Warren Beatty, 37? Not quite. The Debbie Reynolds look-alike in the forthcoming movie Shampoo is Carrie Fisher, daughter of Debbie and Crooner Eddie Fisher. Like Mom, Carrie is starting her Hollywood career at age 17. Unlike the star of such '50s films as Tammy and the Bachelor, Carrie is shunning the girl-next-door image with some four-letter dialogue. "We have the same facial flesh," says Carrie of her resemblance to mother. "Cute. Round and cute. I think the reason they wanted...
