...Chellel, who played the flasher in the NBC comedy special Just for Laughs, has a new act in Hollywood. He has published a map showing the graves of 140 celebrities, including Theda Bara, Humphrey Bogart, Walt Disney, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable and Jean Harlow, who are all buried in Forest Lawn -the cemetery satirized by Evelyn Waugh in The Loved One. Chellel sells about 40 maps a day on weekends (price: $5 each). For $25 more he will arrange to have flowers delivered to cemeteries for fans of deceased stars.

Why was the plant towed halfway round the globe instead of being built on the site? Says an I.H.I, spokesman: "It would have taken far more time to build so sophisticated a project there, with inadequate roads and cargo-handling facilities...
...chance to relive a glorious and bloodied past. Not since 1970, when a group of commandos put down a modest rebellion in the African Republic of Chad, had the Foreign Legion seen action in the field. Nowadays, most legionnaires spend their time on such mundane tasks as putting out forest fires in Corsica, constructing roads in French Guiana and guarding French nuclear testing sites in Tahiti...
