...pies in the kitchen; Roberts, milady's personal maid, is minding everybody's business but her own; and Rose, our own Rose, is looking noble. Upstairs, Lady Marjorie is reigning once more as empress of the morning room, stopping from time to time to arch an autocratic eyebrow at Husband Richard Bellamy. Daughter Elizabeth has caught a bad case of socialism, and Son James is dallying with Sarah, the underhouse parlormaid. Keeping everyone in place, of course, is the butler Hudson, better known as the admirable Hudson...
Portrait painters and photographers know only too well that the human face is asymmetrical; wrinkles and eyebrow movements vary, and the smile usually breaks from one side to the other. What is more, each side seems to express a different feeling. This phenomenon can best be shown by first covering one half of the face in a portrait, then the other. In most cases, the right side of the subject's face (on the viewer's left) appears pleasant or blank; the left side looks worried, fearful or even a bit sinister.

Unlike most TV comedians, who dominate the small screen but little else, Belushi easily makes the transition on to film. His character, Bluto, is the frat's resident gross-out and chief hell-raiser. He saves his best leers for the appropriate times: stuffing...
...public crusade on human rights (the Germans think it's preachy and unsophisticated) and economic policy (the Germans think Washington must cut oil imports to strengthen the dollar). Only last week, when asked about his relations with Carter in a television show, the theatrical Schmidt sighed, lifted an eyebrow and paused-gestures clearly belying his answer: "They are very good." When Carter claimed on the eve of his trip that his schedule would not permit his acceptance of Schmidt's invitation to dine with him at the Chancellor's home in Hamburg, Schmidt was livid...
