Shouting, "revenge, revenge" and firing recklessly into a crowd of worshippers, Alan Harry Goodman--a deranged Israeli solider--murdered two Arabs while they prayed at Islan's third-holiest shrine, Jerusalem's Dome of the Rock Mosque. Goodman critically wounded four other Muslims before he was arrested...
Last year Jane Martin (a pen name shielding a woman who refuses to reveal her identity) made her unforgettable debut as a monologuist with Twirlers, in which the heroine likens champion baton wielding to a transcendent experience ("Twirling is the throwing of yourself up to God"). Lisa Goodman repeats her role this year, and ten more Martin monologues have been added. The most powerful, in content and performance, is Handler. The heroine (Susan Cash) belongs to the Holiness Church and handles rattlers: "If you got the spirit, snake don't bite...
...DIED. Goodman Ace, 83, droll doyen of comedy writers who created scripts for Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Bob Newhart, Perry Como and Danny Kaye from the 1940s to the 1960s; in New York City.

"I think Italian designers are certainly worth encouraging," sniffs the mighty Givenchy. "I've never been into Armani's boutique here, or that of any other Italian designer," claims Sonia...
Many of Armani's things for women are too unusual and finely detailed-and thus too expensive-to knock off, but his jackets have been endlessly copied. "You can copy the look," cautions Dawn Mello, executive vice president of Bergdorf Goodman, "but you can never copy the fit." Indeed, Mello's description of wearing an Armani suit goes past simple enthusiasm or even shrewd salesmanship; it sounds like a recollection of a heavy first date. "Armani really put women in suits," she says. "He emancipated them, in a way. A man expects his suits to be very well...
