...busted on a drug rap and did three months in a federal penitentiary. "It was," she says, with uncharacteristic understate ment, "a very big scare-the-hell-out-of-me situation." Fellow inmates included a "couple of Manson girls and murderers and all kinds of things. And Patty Hearst too. I liked her." On the outside again, Childs sought more conventional means of supporting the band, which split up anyway. She took off for London, worked in a friend's recording studio in exchange for living space and lessons on the equipment, even hawked her first single before heading back...
...Bulow, to star Klaus Maria Brandauer. You'll pay dearly for a Perrier at Cannes's Hotel Majestic bar, then more dearly still if you don't carry your wallet in a chastity belt. A plague of burglaries and purse snatchings stoked delicious horror stories. Did you hear? Patricia Hearst almost had her Rolex swiped right off her wrist...
...purloined heiress was in town to promote Paul Schrader's oneiric docudrama about one of the century's most notorious kidnapings. Like Bird, Patty Hearst fails to explain a controversial public life. Rather, it displays her ordeal in the stark, uninflected images of a catatonic's nightmare.

But the film could have used more of all three. By denying Patty Hearst a point of view, Schrader has taken a mug shot instead...
Schrader is his own best publicist. He knows that in Hollywood movies may be the art of the deal, but in Cannes -- where thousands of journalists swarmed around Hearst, Robert Redford and Richard Gere -- movies are the art of the interview. So praise be to Director John Waters, whose catty ebullience suggests Oscar Wilde without the angst. And all hail to David Lean, emperor of the epic, who charmed with his bluff majesty and his tut-tutting about Britain's new "miniature" film industry...
...great is the risk of the AIDS virus being transmitted between male and female sex partners? Americans have been told both not to worry and, in a sensationalized book by Sexologists Dr. William Masters and Virginia Johnson, that AIDS is "running rampant" among heterosexuals. Now Dr. Norman Hearst and Dr. Stephen Hulley of the University of California at San Francisco have calculated the odds of heterosexual transmission. Last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association they reported that the chance of getting AIDS ranges from 1 in 500 for a single act of intercourse with an infected partner...
