...Allen has a favorite actor, it seems to be Keaton. Talking about her always cheers him up: "She has no compunction about playing a lovable and gangly hick in Annie Hall and then very neurotic and disturbed women in Interiors and Manhattan. That's the mark of an actress and not a movie star. Keaton also has the eye of a genius, as you can see in her photos, collages, silk screens and wardrobe. She can dress in a thousand more creative ways than she did in Annie Hall. When I first met her, she'd combine unbelievable stuffat boots...
Such trivial bothers aside, Woody Allen seems content these days. Or at least as content as he can be. Rather uncharacteristically, he even seems tentatively pleased with his own work. "I wanted to make a film that was more serious than Annie Hall, a serious picture that had laughs in it," he says.

Douglas Fraser, the U.A.W.'s blunt president, vowed to ignore the guides when negotiations begin on the new contract (the current one expires Sept. 14). Thundered Fraser: "The Teamsters bent the hell out of the guidelines. I don't believe the 7% is a reality...
Outside Cobo Hall, demonstrators pressed for a cost of living adjustment (COLA) for 205,400 retired auto workers and 29,100 surviving spouses. The current agreement does not have a COLA clause but pays pensioners about the same $700 a month that they were getting six years ago. Some union delegates are now talking about a raise to $1,100, plus a COLA...
