...Flic Everett, 38, journalist, author and boutique owner I'd start with morning coffee and a homemade cake at Bread & Butter, tel: (44) 7944 607405, a tiny vintage-style café in the Northern Quarter. Then I'd jump in a cab down to Manchester Museum, tel: (44-161) 275 2634. It has a mammal gallery, an Egyptian collection and dinosaur bones, all housed in Gothic Victorian splendor. Afterward, I'd head to the Lowry Hotel, tel: (44-161) 827 4000, just across the river in Salford for afternoon tea on the River Bar terrace. They serve pastel-colored macaroons...
...Jean Paul Belmondo doesn't consider himself a sex symbol." This intelligence comes from Raquel Welch, presumably an expert on the subject; she once acted with the French star in L 'Animal. Nevertheless, Belmondo's charm leaves millions of Frenchwomen à bout de souffle. In Flic ou Voyou, Belmondo's latest film, he plays a cop disguised as a gangster and gets entangled in fistfights.

Prostitution is not illegal per se in France, but pimping and bordellos are. Moreover, the taint of scandal had spread from the flic-operators to party members in Lyon. One Gaullist deputy, Edouard Charret, was implicated when a local newspaper printed a picture of him attending the wedding of close friends. The groom, it turned out, was one of the city's better-known pimps and the groom's mother was a notable madam...
...rusher than Mike McCoy," the former Notre Dame All-America now with the Green Bay Packers. Charging through the middle like a bull rhino, Kadish led the Irish defensemen this season with 97 tackles. "He's a kid," says an admiring scout, "who plays with pain." Jacobson in-flic's pain. Heading one of the nation's toughest defensive units, he forced opposing backs to run wide of the middle -and even then he often caught them from behind. Says one scouting report: "Quicker than hell, superb attitude, a potential pro great." LINEBACKERS. Jeff Siemon. Stanford...
