...hide her affliction from her ballet master, trying to hide, as well, her growing feelings for the writer. He, too, is preoccupied. He almost misses her brief victory over pain and the tough New York audience because he is trying, unsuccessfully, to save a young boy from his evil, heroin-pushing older brother. Finally, the columnist makes it to the theater, just in time to carry Ditchburn onstage for her curtain calls after her legs have given out. It is surely one of the most embarrassingly heartwarming climaxes in movie history, but somehow appropriate to a movie that would have...
...from Cozumel to Copenhagen, the Persian Gulf to the South China Sea. Their post-Bondian hardware ranges from a Guppy-class submarine to the world's biggest tanker, the Dragon M-47 antitank rocket to the Soviet Dragunov rifle. In most cases, the hero is motivated by the heroin, but there is no shortage of sex, usually exotic and always dangerous. Seven sizzlers...

Last week in Toronto he listened somberly as his lawyer described him as "a tragic person" with "a poor self image" who became a heroin addict but who has now kicked the habit. A sympathetic judge put Richard...
...lark-or the winner-take-all $10 prize money (losers get a couple of free drinks). Salas, a railway shipping worker, comes to fight "to get the fears inside of me out." Ranare, who grew up in the South Bronx, came to Arizona a year ago to beat a heroin habit, which, happily, he did. "My idea," he says, "is to work out my frustrations from work and from the old lady." Though the club tries to match fighters evenly, any two people who want to fight each other, no matter what their experience or size, are allowed...
