...flap began at a hotel bar in Wellington, New Zealand. State Department Spokesman Dean Fischer and Politico-Military Affairs Director Richard Burt, who were accompanying Haig on his two-week swing through the Pacific, asked Bernard Gwertzman of the New York Times and Karen Elliot House of the Wall Street Journal to join them for drinks. With Fischer glancing at notes, the two aides blamed Kirkpatrick for fouling up negotiations on the U.N. resolution. They claimed she ignored instructions from the National Security Council and initially supported a resolution that called for economic sanctions against Israel, urged nations to review...
Lucas and Spielberg have also updated Jones's girlfriend to give her none of the stodginess but all of the cool of the great old heroines. Karen Allen plays Jones's companion with a wonderful blend of humor, cynicism and toughness--a hardy, reliable beauty whose prettiness is just a little bit off and who is a perfect counterpart to Indiana's laconic stoicism.

Karen Macdonald's Suzanne follows his lead--spleen overbalances sweetness. Harry Murphy's smug Count and Cheryl Ginannini's hoarse, pouting Countess are closer to the mark--he displays all the insight of a brontosaurs, she the passivity of a wildcat. These are Beaumarchais' hollow hulks of aristocracy waiting for someone...
MARRIED. Joseph Granville, 58, flamboyant Wall Street analyst and publisher of the Granville Market Letter (circ. 13,000), whose investment advice in January to "sell everything" was followed by a 23.80-point plunge in the Dow Jones average; and Karen Erickson, 38, a commercial artist; he for the third time, she for the first; in Kansas City...
