...Tears of a Clown and closes with Cole Porter's Be a Clown. Pierrot is your silent host; the calliope music announces that this is a three-ring circus of clowning around. And Madonna, once the Harlow harlot and now a perky harlequin, is the greatest show-off on earth...
...Barking at the Moon, Animated Landscape and Landscape with Rabbit and Flower. It is as hard to account for the spell of the last of these as it is to evade it. It is quintessential Miro -- a field divided roughly in half by a rambling horizon line, the earth featureless and red, the sky equally featureless (except for the ceremonious care with which the paint has been deposited) and blue. In the sky hangs a thing like a bladder, with a thin black line dangling to Earth: the ''flower.'' The ''rabbit,'' a sort of yellow Shmoo, regards it from below...
...whose nearly $10 billion bid for Paramount tops Viacom's by about $2 billion. While Malone stressed his continued support for Diller, he described the Paramount brawl as ''very peripheral'' to TCI's main concerns. Asserting that ''we wish Barry well,'' Malone called Diller ''the only person on earth who can make Paramount worth what is being bid for it.''

...funny-grotesque supporting cast and enough frissons to send an audience out spooked and happy. They don't make pictures like these anymore. Case in point: Legal Eagles. It ought to work.

The plot ransacks honorable sources: bantering, romancing lawyers from Adam's Rib, silky threats at an art auction from North by Northwest, the murderer and his motive from Charade. The movie's Manhattan locations exploit some of the most glamorous spots in Greenwich Village and Tribeca. Wallpapering the film...
...thought you were a monk or a priest.' '' In the latest, $23 million installment of the TV-turned-movie series, slated for December release, the whole Enterprise gang, led by William Shatner, journeys back in time 300 years to Starfleet's first home base, San Francisco, to save planet earth from an alien life form that had its beginnings in the 20th century. (No, it's not Cheez Whiz.) Perhaps in honor of Star Trek's upcoming 20th anniversary, the new film purports to be the closest so far in form and feeling to the original TV shows. Nimoy directed...
