...Fratianne lost her title to East Germany's Anett Poetzsch, 19. In 1979 Linda regained the title, having stretched her style and slowed it somewhat in an effort to infuse her routines with the grace that had been lacking. She got a new hairdo, a nose job to repair the deviated septum that impaired her breathing, and checked in with Pat Collins, the Hip Hypnotist of Sunset Boulevard, to learn "positive reinforcement self-hypnosis." She gets up at 6:30 a.m. six days a week to travel to a rink near her Northridge, Calif., home for practice. She takes...
...called upon to portray those within. To emphasize just how happy and fulfilled Fernand, Alexa and Louis are, she reduces the film's "straights" into one-dimensional jokes. Fernand's ex-wife is a case in point. She sports grotesque polyester clothes, has a permanent Pat Nixon hairdo and screams continually at her children. Her voice grates across the screen like razors on a chalk board. Yet two questions arise--if she was this horrible, why would a man of Fernand's obvious sensibility ever have married her, and second, can Serreau have no compassion at all for this lower...
...cultures, then used her findings to explain how individuals learn adult roles in modern societies. Her application of this approach to other areas and her willingness to speak out on almost any subject made her ideas-and her dumpy but 'somehow imposing figure topped by its . Buster Brown hairdo-famous around the world. By the time she died of cancer last week at the age of 76, Margaret Mead had become the grandmother of the global village, an all-wise matriarch whose often provocatively put, common-sense opinions were sought by millions. Her colleagues feel that no single individual...
...simple farmer's daughter, one of ten children, and never went to college. But Melba Till Allen had big ambitions. She taught herself accounting and, after 13 years as a bookkeeper, was elected state auditor of Alabama in 1966. Voters were charmed by her beehive hairdo, ultrafeminine ways and strong Baptist principles. In office, she went so ferociously after state employees who padded their expense accounts and otherwise wasted public funds that she became known as "Melba Watching-the-Till Allen." She was enthusiastically re-elected in 1970 and four years later easily won election as state treasurer...
...trivial, the insignificant, the utterly negligible. Nebraska's legislature, for example, has just dealt with a bill to add, as consumer representatives, two corpses to the state anatomical board: that passes for humor in Lincoln. Rhode Island's senators breezily adopted a resolution praising the hairdo of a female legislator, but the house turned aside a proposal to decree ricotta the State Cheese. In Florida, the legislature recently indulged in boisterous repartee over a measure that would have made it a crime to molest the "skunk ape," a mythical critter occasionally sighted around the state that is said...
