...wonders of the East! The household goddesses that gaze down from every other wall and stall in Chiang Mai and Mandalay are the very picture of mysterious beauty. Their girlish tresses are dark and lustrous, their complexions delicately olive, their looks a spicy blend of innocence and experience. And the names of these exotic sirens are . . . Phoebe Cates and Jennifer Beals. From the go-slow huts of socialist Burma to the go-go bars of socializing Bangkok, the hands-down pinups of Southeast Asia are the Yale flashdancer with exactly two movies to her credit and the pouting young starlet...
...Government during his stint as director of the U.S. Information Agency in the Kennedy Administration. Ann M. Sperber, a former book editor and freelance writer, has doggedly undertaken the task in Murrow: His Life and Times. Her volume is nothing if not inclusive: it mentions head colds and household accidents, and is replete with sometimes pointless anecdotes in which Murrow is at most a peripheral figure--half a page, for example, on how Correspondent David Schoenbrun's pregnant wife got out of bed at 7 a.m. to open the telegram offering him a job as CBS's Paris bureau chief...
...styled after Western charity extravaganzas, raised about $150,000 for victims of the devastating accident that destroyed a reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear plant on April 26. Money from the benefit, known as Account No. 904, after the special Soviet fund that received the donations, will help provide clothing, household goods and temporary shelter for the 92,000 people evacuated from Ukrainian towns near the dangerously radioactive plant. Last week's event featured laser beams, smoke machines, a henna-haired singer named Alla Pugachova and bands with names like Autograph, Kruiz and Bravo...
...heroin, he aims a loaded gun at his offspring, then at himself. Cuba is less angry about drug use--he snorts cocaine all the time--than at his son's turning to anyone but him for life's experiences. An eerie, subliminally sexual bond of dominance pervades this womanless household, with the boy serving as a submissive valet, an Edith Bunkerish wife. Macchio, in a brilliant stage debut, sustains that disquieting relationship. Yet he renders Teddy as a talented and basically normal kid, reconciled to the fact that his father may love him but will never understand...
...Chernobyl. In little more than a month, the name of a once obscure Soviet plant has become a global household word, a new entry on the list of late-20th century technological disasters and a rallying cry for all those who fear and oppose nuclear power. The April 26 explosion and fire that destroyed reactor No. 4 at the Chernobyl plant in the Ukraine spread radioactive fallout around much of the world. Now the accident is transforming the East-West political climate and perhaps altering diplomatic relations between the U.S. and its European allies...
