...final event of the evening, the 200m freestyle relay, junior diver Kara Miller, who took first place in the one-meter event and second in the three-meter made her swimming debut, racing in the final leg of the relay.

...BEFORE HER ROLE OPPOsite Kevin Costner in The Bodyguard made her a movie star, there was something cinematic about Whitney Houston. Her life has been big time and big screen. The daughter of gospel and R.-and-B. singer Cissy Houston, she began at the top with her 1985 debut album, Whitney Houston, and has sold 80 million records worldwide since.

WELL, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT to find in the Abbey Road vaults--Al Capone?

Working on both sides of the Atlantic, Malle feelingly but frankly explored such difficult topics as incest (1971's "Le Souffle En Coeur") and child prostitution ("Pretty Baby", his 1978 American debut). Yet his high-voltage subjects contrasted with an often reflective style, captured in his stateside success "Atlantic City" (1980), starring Burt Lancaster as an aging hood, and 1981's "My Dinner with Andre", in which two friends wrestle over the earthly, the transcendent, and some painfully nouvelle cuisine. Malle called "Au Revoir Les Enfants...
