...form a single orbiting complex. The linking of the Cosmos with Salyut 7 has doubled the amount of working space available to cosmonauts aboard the space station. In addition, the latest Cosmos has thruster jets that enable it to change the orbit of the whole complex, leading TASS to dub it a "space tugboat." It also has a bell-shaped descent module, a detachable section that can ferry materials and experiments back to earth-something that the Soviets previously could not do with the cramped Soyuz...
...briefing papers were acquired. Columbia History Professor Henry Graff put the episode in perspective by noting, "This is not something that has struck a lot of people in the solar plexus." A Columbia colleague, Political Scientist Alan F. Westin, criticized the tendency of many journalists thoughtlessly to dub the affair "briefingate" or "debategate. Said he: "I find myself just bored to tears by someone sticking 'gate' after every little foible." His point was well taken: the briefing book dispute did not remotely resemble a Watergate-class scandal. -By Ed Magnuson...
...like grapes. George, according to Harrison Brown, bedded Ringo's wife and later, when asked why, just shrugged and said, "Incest." Ringo was a dedicated jet-setter whose solid but unexceptional drumming talents were eventually unequal to the demands of the more complex Beatles music; Paul had to dub in Ringo's parts in the studio. Epstein agonized over a merchandising deal that lost the Beatles millions, but Lennon consoled himself with cash delivered by concert promoters in brown paper bags. Epstein took 25%, and the band got the rest. As young, hungry rockers playing in Hamburg, West...
...Romeo and Juliet, with, say, Robert De Niro, their twinned compulsion to "get into" the hearts of their roles might take them so far that an undertaker would have to be included in the closing credits. So finicky is Streep about her profession that when it came time to dub the French sound track for her Polish-born character in Sophie's Choice, she just had to try to provide that je ne sais quoi herself. "I had to audition to show that I could speak the language well enough to play the role," says Streep, who refreshed...
...Clouseau's disappearance is handled clumsily. Granted, director Edwards should have done something to avoid having to dub in Clouseau's voice, for the two times he does so are occasions for wincing. But in general, the disappearance is foreshadowed well by shots of Clouseau's enemies scheming, and followed up on briskly by the commencement of Jouvet's search for the missing detective. In spite of the inspector's absence, the action moves quickly, thanks to well-chosen flashbacks...
