...leaders of that group, DARLENE GILLESPIE, who was so popular as a Mouseketeer that she got to sit next to ANNETTE FUNICELLO in the front row of the photo, was sentenced to three years probation for a ham-fisted department-store theft. Most ignominious of all, BILLIE JEAN MATAY (inset) tried to sue Disney over a theft she and her family endured in a Disneyland parking lot. Matay also claimed that her grandchildren suffered emotional trauma when, while being interviewed backstage by security guards, they witnessed Disney characters removing the heads of their costumes. The judge resisted the temptation...
...Marsalis and jazzophiles the world over converge on this hamlet in southwestern France, inflating its 1,200 population to 125,000 for a festival in August. Marsalis explains the appeal: "The people are soulful and humble." To prove his affection, he's composed the 90-minute Marciac Suite. Mayor Jean-Louis Guilhaumon certainly proved his. Artist Daphne du Barry's $80,000 tribute now occupies pride of place in front of a former Augustine cloister...
This scene, from Jean-Luc Godard's poignant, invigorating For Ever Mozart, lasts only a few seconds--yet it serves as a surreal image, a joke and a requiem.

...handsome old tools. Contempt has movie stars, guns, car crashes, wide screen, beautiful color, the cliffs of Capri, the most rapturous music (by Georges Delerue, his violins sawing and soaring like Philip Glass in ecstasy). And, always, pretty women. A Ziegfeld of the Left Bank, Godard reinvented Jean Seberg and discovered Anna Karina, Juliet Berto, Maruschka Detmers, Myriem Roussel, Juliette Binoche, Julie Delpy--glories of Gallic cinema. In Contempt he saves Bardot from cheesecake notoriety. She's smart, sensitive, brutal, doomed...
...just a little ol' lawyer with Arent Fox, a D.C. firm that at the time did legal and lobbying work for several foreign governments and various overseas corporations. According to documents Thompson and Arent Fox filed with the Department of Justice, Thompson's duties included lobbying for Haitian President JEAN-BERTRAND ARISTIDE, who hired Arent Fox in October 1991 shortly after his government was overthrown by a military coup. As the firm lobbied U.S. officials to bolster support for Aristide's return to power, Thompson pitched in by calling JOHN SUNUNU, chief of staff for the Bush White House...
