Ford's most surprising move is the re-introduction of the 1960s-style "muscle car." An optional turbocharged, V-8 en gine (17 m.p.g.) will power some Mustangs and Capris from 0 m.p.h. to 60 m.p.h. in 7.5 seconds. That kind of dragstrip macho has been virtually extinct since the end of the era of 300-per-gal. gasoline...
Georges Bonnemaison, a sportswriter and jazz critic for the Toulouse paper Dépêche du Midi, and his wife Régine venture into Central Park. Apparently expecting the tranquillity of Paris' Luxembourg Gardens, they confront instead bongo drums, tape decks, roller skaters, family picnics and baseball games. "Trap décontracté," says Mme. Bonnemaison, disgusted. Too relaxed. "Everyone does just what he wants!" New York is an interesting place to visit, but although they are amazed to find people actually living there, obviously it is impossible. Mixed reviews, thumbs waggle...
...Gimme the Goods" revives the sad small-time hoods of "Lido Shuffle," still looking for that one last job to put them on Easy Street.

...household name, Andréa, 26, is an aspiring New York actress and the daughter of the 17th Marquis de Portago, the flamboyant Spanish Grand Prix driver killed in 1957 in Italy's Mille Miglia. While doing the disco scene one night at Manhattan's Régine's, she was spotted by Nina Ricci representatives. They excitedly hired Photographer Francesco Scavullo to capture Andréa's face for the new fragrance Farouche (meaning both "fierce" and "shy" in French). "I'm very Latin and very fierce, and a little shy," says Andr...
Within these boundaries the protagonists play out the drama of saintly endeavor and human fear like dancers in a dream of both life and death. Stage Director Dexter can take credit for that too, although he has been given some splendid singing actresses to work with - Régine Crespin, Shirley Verrett, Betsy Norden, Maria Ewing. As Blanche, the rich-voiced Ewing emerges as a genuine comer in her blend of inner anguish and, at the end, heroic resolve. In the pit, French Conductor Michel Plasson shapes the music with enough loving deftness to underscore the fact that Dialogues...
