They have taken separate vacations, and now Joan and Ted Kennedy are trying separate homes. While the Senator stays with the three kids in McLean, Va., Joan is living in the family's Back Bay apartment in Boston. Does it mean a formal separation? According to Kennedy's office: no. According to Joan, she and Ted get together at least once a week. Their new living arrangements, she explains, are to enable her to take a course in music at Cambridge's Lesley College. And while she is there, she says, "I'm going...
...glass of wine, a siesta-and a rare day off from the easel. Joan Miró decided to take it easy on his 85th birthday. "The older I get, the more I do," he said. Laboring seven hours a day in his hilltop studio on the Spanish island of Majorca, he finishes one or two works a week and has also completed a tapestry for the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

The result is a movie that lurches unsteadily from scene to scene. The Big Sleep is just an other snooze...
...women--I never felt I would be able to feel sorry for anyone who would title their autobiography Reflections in a Crystal Teardrop, but Joan Baez manages to come out from under the weight of Dylan's cynicism with her dignity intact. There is one long scene--perhaps we could call it "Diamonds and Rust Comes to the Silver Screen"--in which Baez and Sara stage a tug of war over the bemused Renaldo. Sara is shown as a made-up 35-year-old housewife, a sort of pushy Zelda Sayre; it is hard to believe that Dylan could have...
