Outrageous! Only Woody Allen at his best could outdo some of the one-liners in Richard Benner's brilliant comedy about a female impersonator's rise to stardom and the whacked-out woman behind the success. Craig Russell's unabashedly gay hairdresser has graced us with a character we will not soon forget, completely stealing the show in the movie's plot and the movie itself. His series of famed singers and actresses belting out "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" will bring down any house, so carefully honed are his Channings and Ellas. Co-star Hollis McLaren...
Finally, in the Hub: Bach, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Chopin and Liszt make up the delegation at the New England Conservatory recital in Jordan Hall, Sunday at 3. It's free, there'll be munchies and the Rachmaninoff. Boston University Wind Ensemble, conducted by Paul Gay, airs Barber's First Symphony and other works at the School for the Arts tomorrow night. The BU Faculty Chamber Music Ensemble begins its season on Monday. Both BU concerts are at 855 Commonwealth Ave. Stay in Cambridge this week for the Bach Soc and other programs which definitely look worthwhile...

Under the management of Davis and his ally, Summa Executive Vice President Frank William Gay, the company had lost a total of $132 million from 1970 through last September. One reason for the losses was the inexperience of Summa executives in running casinos and hotels. The estate's once vast assets dwindled so fast that the company might be hard pressed to meet federal inheritance tax payments; the first installment, estimated at $25 million, will presumably be due in January 1978. Three of its seven Nevada establishments were-and still are-losing big money.* Worse still, Summa was ordered...
...both co-administrator and Summa chairman. Lummis' answer was to fire Davis as Summa chief counsel (he had earlier kicked him off the board). A hard man to beat, Davis simply moved his power base to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, run by the oldtimer triumvirate of Davis, Gay and Nadine Henley, Hughes' onetime assistant. The institute is a tax-free foundation that Hughes established in 1954 as sole owner of Hughes Aircraft, a major defense contractor (estimated 1976 sales: $1.6 billion). Hughes Helicopter has won a defense contract-to build a new attack helicopter-that could...
