...naked lady doing in a fashion show? Juliet Prowse, 38, in the buff will be the highlight of this year's Fashion Awards, to be aired on March 19 on ABC. It is not intended to be an insult to the winners, who include Designers Bill Blass, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren, but simply a moment in the history of fashion. "It's a musical montage-type thing, starting with a naked Eve and back full circle to almost naked in a string bikini," explains Juliet. There is apparently no danger of a network furor over Eve sporting...
...sometimes does not pay to be too clever with answering devices. Boston Piano Player Randy Klein, who backs up Singer Graham, was moved to record a more conventional greeting after his ragtime ditty began drawing 300 calls per day. Graham is also deluged with calls. "People call from New York just to listen," he says. "It genuinely gives them joy."

Part of Tania's denial of her individuality is a denial of her womanhood. She is a woman and a revolutionary, but obviously a revolutionary first. Despite a passing reference to the "infamous Latin American disease of machismo," Klein's script gives little attention to the position of women in the revolution. It is assumed that women will fight alongside men, and when a team of women workers outdoes the men's team, they shout triumphantly "Viva las mujeres!" But it is also assumed that after a hard day's fighting in the jungle the women will do the cooking...
