...district in which Celebrezze is running--and, unlike most of his opponents, the district in which he lives--is a striking case study of urban politics. It is extremely liberal on economic questions and extremely conservative on social issues. "The same people who foam at the mouth about busing and have every stereotypic ethnic concern you could name are, on economic issues...well, I wouldn't want to say they're socialist, but they come awfully close," Nixon said last month...
Questioned initially by U.S. Attorney James L. Browning Jr., Fort implied that Patty's treatment was a good deal less harsh than she or the defense psychiatrists described it. He stated, for example, that the closet where she spent her first four weeks was equipped with a foam mattress, a pillow and a reading light. After her blindfold was removed, she read S.L.A. tracts and Frantz Fanon's Wretched of the Earth, a required text for Third World revolutionaries...

No one would dare ask further questions...
Barbra Streisand drove costume fitters to the brink during the filming of Funny Girl by continually changing the padding in her bras. Playing Julius Caesar in Cleopatra, Rex Harrison allowed his own skinny frame to be beefed up with foam rubber, so much that the daggers kept bouncing off him during the death scene. So reports Oscar-Winning Designer Irene Sharaff, 64, describing the care and costuming of actors in a new memoir titled Broadway and Hollywood, Costumes Designed by Irene Sharaff. Stars are like "anyone else in underwear," she insists. In The Bishop's Wife (1948), for instance...
