After 35 years of tracking down big stories for the Flash, Girl Reporter Brenda Starr has finally tracked down her man. The funny-papers heroine, still a red-haired beauty of 23, last week exchanged wedding vows with dashing, eye-patched Basil St. John on the cartoon page of 150 newspapers. To celebrate, Starr Creator Dale Messick, 69, joined with some 125 well wishers for a mock reception in Washington...
...together a rabble of Hell's Angels on bikes (had Tomaszewski seen "Easy Rider?") with the empress's ladies--and gentlemen-in-waiting. A robot sputters on stage: can a machine be even more black than the preceding parade of frenetic suitors? At the end Phylissa stares with one eye down an inverted clarion; with the other becoming a wild, monstrous orb she eclipses the entire stage. The stage blacks out. The image of that disembodied eye stays with you, as does the memory of men cut from themselves...

Her romances follow the best tradition of the comedy of manners, with not too much substance, and plenty of wit. Like Jane Austen, she has enough of an eye for the slightly ridiculous to keep you laughing, but she never requires the mental gymnastics of serious literature. No one is ever murdered, no one hurt--you simply ramble along in a world of idiosyncrasies and foibles, where the only danger is the loss of good ton, and where...
...except this one and Paul K. Rowe's on page two today, which I haven't read but which he assures me is penetrating and uplifting. Most of them (the reviews) seem to deflect off Barry Lyndon like poorly aimed arrows. Kubrick evokes 18th century Europe with a historians' eye for detail in his cinematographic version of William Makepeace Thackeray's novel. He succeeds in transporting the viewer to the aristocratic world of the 1760s and stuns us with his well-designed shots of landscapes. But Dinah, the acting! Ryan O'Neal proves three things: first, only one O'Neal...
