...Manhattan hooker is no wistful Lili Marlene swinging a sad handbag under the street light. She is a feral and formidable bird of prey-as West Germany's ex-Finance Minister Franz Josef Strauss, 55, discovered at 2:30 one morning last week. Outside the Plaza Hotel just off Fifth Avenue, he was accosted by three women in a yellow car. One of them got out and suggested the possibility of deepening their relationship. "I took the whole thing from the ironic side," says Strauss. But the lady took the whole thing from another side, light-fingered his wallet...
...Evanston, Ill., high school, students of English Teacher Thomas Klein shrouded themselves in bed sheets and crawled blindly around the floor. At a body-movement session in Beverly Hills, Calif., participants took turns pummeling a sofa pillow with feral ferocity. From a four-story midtown Manhattan brownstone, the sound of screaming can be heard all day long. It comes from patients of Psychiatrist Daniel Casriel, who believes that such release is therapeutic.

His well-modulated performance demonstrates a principle that jurists and film makers alike should remark: solid courtroom drama ought to be that and nothing more...
...Heartland. Not many men have lived as fully and as widely as Guimarāes Rosa did in his 59 years. Born in the feral heartland state of Minas Gerais, he was a physician, veterinarian, herbist, linguist, diplomat and government official in charge of border affairs. Writing fiction was just another way of annexing experience, and he occupied his territory thoroughly and imaginatively. His novel Grande Sertào: Veredas, published in the U.S. in 1963 as The Devil to Pay in the Backlands, is encyclopedic in its embrace of Minas Gerais ecology. Yet it is as exciting...
