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. An especially exciting prospect is an upcoming retrospective exhibition in Madrid, to be opened by King Juan Carlos. It will mean that after 40 years of Franco...

"These are two remarkable plays," Havergal says of Beaumarchais' The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro, "and the playwright was a wild, extraordinary man, a pamphleteer and a music teacher. But very soon after he wrote them, one was taken over by Rossini and the other by Mozart, and the operas effectively put a smokescreen over the originals. Cutting and combining the two plays gives the whole show a fascinating irony. The first play...

...classic," and he seems to have communicated only that to his actors. As Marlowe, Robert Mitchum seems merely weary. Sarah Miles and Candy Clark, as the rich, spoiled and sexy sisters who inspire so much greed in others, as well as James Stewart, Oliver Reed, Richard Boone, John Mills, Joan Collins and Edward Fox, as assorted villains, victims and cops, all seem to be doing turns in a variety show rather than acting in an intelligently integrated drama. 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...
