JOYCE HABER, 41, an exceptionally literate gossip, tattles about movie stars and camp followers five times a week in the Los Angeles Times and 58 other papers. An alumna of TIME'S Beverly Hills bureau, she replaced Hedda Hopper in 1966, and West Coast wits began referring to her as Hedda Haber. At first she adopted a bitchy, initial-cluttered style ("What was Miss P.P. doing with Mr. V.V. at... ") that earned her many enemies. Later the scourge of Celluloid City dropped the initials and developed a more serious reportorial approach. In the past few weeks, for example...
Luci-Desi Comedy Hour. Well. Why not? Lucille Ball announced this week that she's quitting her TV show. This episode can commemorate the good old days--before Desi was fat and gray, before Lucy was old and tired, and before Chicago Tribune gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (who plays herself in this one) was dead and gone. You won't have Lucy to kick around much longer. Ch. 56, 7: 30 p.m. 1 hour...
...work on the one hand, and the audience on the other," notes Critic Brian O'Doherty, "there are large areas for misunderstanding." O'Doherty, who paints (under the name Patrick Ireland) and also teaches (at Barnard), attempts to correct any such misunderstandings about eight American artists: Edward Hopper, Stuart Davis, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Robert Rauschenberg, Andrew Wyeth and Joseph Cornell.

Besides collaborating with Dennis Hopper on Easy Rider, Peter Fonda has directed one previous movie, a fine, elegiac western called The Hired Hand (1971). Like that earlier effort, Idaho Transfer has a grave, lovely feeling for the contours of the countryside. There is also, as in The Hired Hand, a simple, quite ravishing musical score by Bruce Langhorne, which mixes acoustic instrumentation with electronic effects. The scores of these two films alone should establish Langhorne as one of the best young pop musicians in the country. He is, hands down, one of the best film composers...
...lost and responsibilities evaded. Director-Writer Charles Eastman (best known previously as the author of the screenplay for Little Fans and Big Halsey) evokes, in the character of Vic, the kind of wary protagonist whose abdication of personal responsibility made anti-heroes out of Dean and Brando, Fonda and Hopper. The film builds to a crazy, disorganized hillside ceremony in which the entire town of Buddy, Calif., comes to cheer its boy Vic off to the nationals. Vic sees it all as a shuck, refuses to go and hits the road out of town, pursued by his new fiancee Drenna...
