...Good Lesson. None of the criticism seemed to ruffle Rupert Murdoch, the hustling, young (38) Australian who last January added the News of the World to the seven papers he owns Down Under. After he and his wife Anna read Christine's manuscript, Murdoch paid ?20,000 for serialization rights, describing Christine's recounting as "a good lesson to all politicians." A frontpage story accompanying the first installment carried the justification further. Noting that "an ex-King of England" and four Prime Ministers had written their memoirs, it reasoned that "what is good for those...
...about the premature retirement of Don Perkins. Coach Tom Landry says unequivocally: "Hill is the best running back we've ever had." After two games, Hill had barreled for 208 yds. (an average of 5.1 yds. per carry) to lead the N.F.L. in that department. Hill has amazingly good balance for a big man and runs nearly as well in a broken field as through a tightly packed line. He sprinted 23 yds. for one touchdown, slammed 9 yds. off tackle for another, and gained a total of 138 yds. to break Perkins' team record during...

It was at St. Moritz that a roving Harper's Bazaar photographer encouraged his sartorial talent by asking to photograph some self-designed stretch ski pants that Pucci was wearing.

In the meantime, Dexter is practicing his surfing. Though he loves the sport, he has never before found time to get very good...
...overlook the fact that Destroy, She Said is mummifyingly boring, it is actually quite a lot of fun. Marguerite Duras, who executed this excellent satire, has good credentials for the job. Besides writing the screenplays for Hiroshima, Mon Amour and Une Aussi Longue Absence she also attended the birth of the anti-novel movement, making such notable contributions to the genre as Moderato Cantabile and The Sea Wall. In her directorial debut, she has unfortunately committed one rather crucial error. She seems to have been the only one who didn't get her own joke...
