...Regine's new nightclub another. The publicity game is paying off. Licensing negotiations for Kelly furs, sunglasses and jewelry are under way. The designer is looking for rental space to house a museum for his collection of 6,000 black dolls. Paris Match featured a six-page spread of Grace Jones posing in Kelly's clothes. Michael Douglas stopped by to chat about making a movie based on his career. At the Louvre, television cameras from West Germany, Canada, Japan and the U.S. trailed the designer. "What's the message?" inquired a correspondent. "It's a heavy glamour trip," Kelly...
This is the season of "March madness." It is a frenzied time when basketball rules the tube, millions pour into college coffers, and lanky young giants seem anointed with superhuman gifts of grace and courage. But beneath the pageantry of March madness lies another, more disturbing kind of madness: an obsession with winning and moneymaking that is perverting the noblest ideals of both sports and education in America...

Skittering across the floor, or toppled over backward and trying to right himself, or dangling from the spider web of piping that represents a ceiling, Baryshnikov is completely believable as both misfortunate man and misunderstood beast...
...handsome, earnest, dedicated, kind, politically correct from a left-wing perspective and irreversibly gay, and a heterosexual who is grasping, impatient, domineering, shallow, as undependable as quicksilver and, for Heidi, sexually irresistible. This is the there-are-no-men lament reduced to a greeting card. The saving grace is Joan Allen in the title role. Winner of a Tony Award last year in Burn This, Allen becomes a strong contender to repeat with a performance that displays much the same virtues: an inviting vulnerability, an approach to romance simultaneously fragile and fearless, a wit at once acerbic and diffident.
