Stephen Baron, 27, suffers from a ruptured disc that can cause him excruciating back pain. But Baron, an international management consultant in Washington, D.C., has found a topsy-turvy way to get relief. Four times a week he dons a pair of steel and foam-rubber Gravity Boots that each weigh three pounds and dangles from his heels from a chinning bar for five minutes. Says he: "It's a very restful, relaxing experience that eases the pressure off my lower back for hours. I can even hear my vertebrae clicking while I'm upside down...
...year-old bisexual vampire involved in a threesome with Susan Sarandon, 36, and David Bowie, 36. With hot designs on toothsome Susan, Deneuve commits the classic faux pas of asking about a blood transfusion. "Not the greatest move on a first date," observes Sarandon. Indeed, but such is the foam that washes ashore in this bit of vampyorrhea that aggressively bills itself as "new wave." Quick, somebody fetch the stake...
...around, and residents of communities almost 100 miles away reported that their homes shook. In the predawn hours last Friday, a thunderous explosion ripped through three towering gasoline tanks at a Texaco storage facility in Newark. The blast killed one man and injured 21 others.

...Chaplin in slow motion and, when excited, breathes like an asthmatic piglet. He wants nothing more in this world than a faithful pal, unless it is to return to his out-of-this-world home. Cynics will insist he is made of aluminum, E.T. steel, fiber glass, polyurethane and foam rubber, but this is a small matter. The larger truth is that E.T. emerged from a sweet communal dream: of fellowship, loyalty, ordinary heroism, unfettered fun. He is every child's secret best friend, every adult's reverie of the innocence that was, once upon our time...
Avery was not good at maintaining a suavely impasted surface, though sometimes he could bring one off with real subtlety the bursting fan of foam over the rocks in White Wave, 1954, is like a Monet haystack made of water, not grass. But the major Averys, like Sea and Sand Dunes, 1955, or Speedboat's Wake, 1959, are thin, taut, nearly as evanescent looking as weather itself. Their pictorial construction is achieved almost entirely through color: the weight of a red, the brooding distension of a purplish sea against a blue headland. Nothing is subordinate in such paintings...
