...Finally," says Michael Skinner, young (40), bustling managing director of J. Dege & Sons (est. 1865), "we realized that we had to change our ogre image and our whole concept of marketing. We had to be more forthcoming, with clothes that would sell themselves." The result has been perhaps the greatest turnaround in English tailoring since Beau Brummell first sported trousers instead of breeches. At a spring fashion show-the first in its history-the 200-member Federation of Merchant Tailors presented a new London look called "the Delta line." The collection consists of nearly 40 models for town, country, leisure...
Kundera actively hates poetry as much as he hates the crimes perpetrated under the banner of poetic political slogans. But he is certainly wrong when he equates the surrealistic slogans of the May 1968 revolt in Paris ("L'imagination au pouvoir." "La poesie est dans la rue!" "Soyez realistes demandez l'impossible!") with the Stalinist slogans Jaromil is editing for the May Day parade in Prague some twenty years before. Nothings was more foreign to the spontaneity and libertarian spirit of the May 1968 revolt than the oppressive regimentation of the Stalinist era in Czechoslovakia; the Parisian May had probably...
...characters act only out of the bas est of motives: Dad, for example, gets canned from his p.r. job because of the sudden family disgrace. He then spends much of the film trying to hunt down and kill his own child, as if to win back community respect. Even a score by the usually excellent Bernard Herrman is of little help.

His participation in It's Alive lends it a fleeting and futile air of quality, like a concert virtuoso playing piano in a cathouse...
...never lived by the ocean before," said Genevieve Bujold, 32. The French Canadian star is now living in a Malibu beach house with her son Matthew, 7, by her former husband, Director Paul Almond. Genevieve made her name in such French movies as La Guerre Est Finie and King of Hearts, but found that the Continent had its drawbacks. "Life there is just too difficult to cope with," she said. This month Genevieve must go to Italy to film Brian de Palma's Deja Vu, but she will come home to Malibu not Montreal. As she explained: "Scripts...
...they have forgotten the simple fact that real people are trying to live everyday lives in a place that could instantly be turned into a gigantic combat zone. Inevitably they are bound together by a mutual abhorrence of war. The most effective speakers are people who have the great est reason to be bitter: the wives and parents of young men killed on both sides of the Yom Kippur War. Their remembrances of their loved ones, of ten spoken through tears, render the desolation of personal loss, and make one ashamed of glib generalizations spouted from a safe distance west...
