...work around his schedule at TIME, Associate Editor J.D. Reed and his wife Christine divided chores on Exposure (Soho Press), a murder mystery set in the world of soccer. Christine wrote, while her husband edited and supplied sports expertise. Says he: "I also provided lots of pats on the back, and coffee...
...reception Gorbachev shook hands with Yoko Ono and praised the contributions she and her late husband John Lennon had made to the peace movement. Mailer quipped that he had "cemented a peace pact" over dinner with Novelist Gore Vidal, with whom he has frequently feuded. Ustinov complained that a reporter from Radio Luxembourg woke him at 2 a.m. to ask what Gorbachev was going to say in a speech later that day. Everyone feasted on mounds of fresh strawberries -- a delicacy virtually unheard of in midwinter Moscow...
...everything she ever wanted," notes Bruce Vilanch, who writes Bette's "Soph" jokes, "things she didn't even realize she wanted and didn't set out to get."

Fighting the disease and its accompanying despair, stoking her own infidelity and her husband's, displaying the terminal patient's luxury of being both noble and bitter, Andrews transforms Tom Kempinski's case history into a metaphor for middle age. Stephanie could be any careerist facing a mid-life crisis of confidence -- Is she at her peak or past it? -- or the cripple any woman...
...else is a shambles. The director, Andrei Konchalovsky, has an unique gift for bringing out the worst in good actors. Alan Bates, as Stephanie's composer husband, looks goofy in a Beethoven haircut; Star Pupil Rupert Everett rants and sniffles; Macha Meril, as the Italian maid, provides her own subtitles in moments of distress ("Aiuto! Help!"). And finally the movie exonerates all the rats in Stephanie's life. She sees them happy and united and goes off to die by her favorite tree. Duet for One died long before...
