Thus did Patrick Kelly, the guy in the size 56 denims, rocket into the stratosphere of high fashion last fall as the first American ever admitted into the clubby, self-important Chambre Syndicale, the pantheon of 43 Paris- based designers who may show at the Louvre. The French buzzed and clucked at the outrageousness of the new upstart. After all, who but Kelly could boast that only eight years ago he was peddling his clothes on the sidewalk of the Boulevard St.-Germain, calling out to passersby in a Mississippi drawl, "Tres chic! Pas cher!"? Now he's selling...
...Radio drama, alas, has largely gone the way of the gramophone. But National Public Radio is doing its bit this month to revive it with the U.S. premiere of five plays written for the medium by Samuel Beckett. Billie Whitelaw and David Warrilow star in the opener, All That Fall, about an aging woman meeting her blind husband at a railroad station.

Portell met her when she was sitting alone and lonely in a Florida restaurant, dated her, borrowed money from her and asked her to set up a coke deal. Guzman's first trial ended in a hung jury last fall. Since then her attorney has been gathering evidence in an effort to prove official misconduct. At a hearing to dismiss charges against Guzman last month, Miami Federal Judge William Hoeveler posed a pointed query: "Is there any question in anybody's mind that this man is not only a thief...
...show has a dying fall into the rhetoric of the '80s, represented here for the umpteenth time by Sandro Chia, Enzo Cucchi, Francesco Clemente and Mimmo Paladino. These figures have become quasi-official artists, like the stars of the Paris salons a century ago. Yet when the '80s have receded, it will seem odd that the feeble draftsmanship in Clemente's washed-out frescoes should once have been applauded, or that the lurid bombast of even the better works of Cucchi, such as the droopy head that lies like a huge Dalinian watch along the cemetery roof in Stupid Picture...
