...York right now is not being fought over budgets, aid packages and votes, but rather over books. Mayor Edward I Koch has struck the first blow with Mayor, which has rocketed to number one on the New York Times list thanks to free publicity and some heavy leg work that took the shamelessly self-promoting Koch up and down the East Cast and to Europe.

Where there is an exhibitionist there must also be a voyeur; in Hitchcock's world they make a perfect sadomasochistic pair. In Rear Window it is a salesman-killer (Raymond Burr) and a photographer with a broken leg (Stewart) who ives across the courtyard. This roving lensman may be immobile for the moment, but he knows how to extract meaning from pictures-and there is something wrong with this one.

But all of a sudden in the last scene, he turns into an inebriated mass of insecurity. The quintessential drunkard, he teeters and stumbles as he walks and rolls his eyes as he declares: "'My name is Might Have Been...
...Ulaga out of the chute splendidly, but the track's icy grooves were too narrow to contain such enthusiasm. Backing up in mid-air like a duck in the path of buckshot, Ulaga flapped in every direction until he put down gracelessly 100 ft. short of expectation. "One leg go like this, one leg go like that," he said, "and the people, they all gone." It was an Olympic record for clearing a forest. As the home crowd headed back to Sarajevo, whistling derisively, Ulaga said, "You are man, you are not machine, you can make mistakes. They shouldn...
