...mini will fare in the office, among yuppies not known for frivolity, is a legitimate question. "A woman in the record industry wearing a miniskirt is one thing, but a woman district attorney pleading her case in the courtroom is another," says Sylvia Percelay, a designer at Bullock's in California. A bit defensively, designers insist that strong-shouldered jackets will instill the image of serious intelligence, despite the drafty little skirts. Few women buy that. "Power shoulders, power lunches maybe, but not power flesh," says Linda Aronson, 28, a marketing executive on Wall Street who will save her skimpy...
...design and overpriced Swiss chocolate. The Orson Welles burnt to the ground last spring and will not re-open. Only the Brattle Theater--re-emerging after bankruptcy forced the previous owners to sell the building--and the Somerville Theater remain as repertory options to the usually drab first-run fare offered by the USA cinema empire...
...Rear Window's funkiness is clearly evident in its average weekly fare. Films as diverse as "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Girl Can't Help It," "Gervaise" and "Repulsion," alternate with live music and experimental performance. The Rear Window also runs several series in conjunction with other organizations. Besides Kleiler's own. trademark "Festival of the Bizarre and Insane," the Rear Window has recently programmed the "Images of Boston" series (in conjunction with the Boston Center for Adult Education) and "Sets in the Cinema: The Movies and Modern Architecture" (with the Boston Architectural Center).

Comedy series inevitably came next. Some, like Showtime's Brothers and HBO's 1st & Ten, have been only marginally different from routine network fare. But HBO's Not Necessarily the News, now in its fifth year, offers welcome dollops of topical (if frequently toothless) political satire. Freshest of all is the engaging It's Garry Shandling's Show on Showtime, an unexpected hit that has just won a renewal for three more years. Meanwhile...
Most of the fare in London's tabloids is designed to titillate and tickle. Officials in Dublin, however, were not amused by one story appearing last week in the Sunday People, a racy Fleet Street rag. The paper charged that for more than four years the passport officer at the Irish embassy in London had sold false Irish passports to foreigners. The price: as much as $24,000 apiece. The story further alleged, although it provided no evidence, that the official, Kevin McDonald, 37, may have sold some of the bogus documents to "Libyans, Iranians, Lebanese and others" from states...
