...fairly decent movie, even it if lacks redeeming artistic value. It succeeds mostly because it does entertain, despite the predictable romance and occasionally banal dialogue. The film is fast-paced and even funny upon occasion, as in the scene which features our hero driving a drunken, nymphomaniacal athletic department secretary home from a party. He has his eyes on the road, but her eyes are on something else, leading to a rather embarassing situation...
...Valentino and Judy Garland. Eighty thousand fans jammed the street outside his Memphis mansion, Graceland, hoping for a view of the body; 30,000 were admitted to the house. Dozens swooned, cried, keened and passed out from the heat outside the mansion gates. Two people were killed when a drunken driver plowed into the crowd. After the funeral at Graceland, a cortege of 16 white Cadillacs led a slow procession down Elvis Presley Boulevard to the cemetery.

Some, like Paul Sunday's 90%-completed Varieze, were trailered to Wisconsin. Others came in on a wing and a prayer. Michael Murphy, a TWA mechanic who built his sky-cycle from a photograph of a 1912 wood...
...counteroffensive first came to light a year ago when FBI agents stopped two men who had entered the U.S. courthouse in Washington carrying false IRS agents' credentials. One, an IRS clerk-typist, was sentenced to two years on probation after he confessed forging the identity papers as a drunken lark. The second man, however, gave an alias and disappeared. Last month he suddenly turned himself in, identified himself as Michael James Meisner, 27, a former national secretary of the Church of Scientology, and said he had just escaped from two months of "house arrest" by cult members. Meisner told...
