...water coming in," recalls Simon Le Bon. So began the ordeal at sea that the lead singer of the rock band Duran Duran calls "the worst experience of my life." Le Bon, 26, was asleep in the cabin of his 77-ft., $1.8 million yacht Drum during the final leg of the international Admiral's Cup race about two miles off the coast of Cornwall last week when the keel snapped off and the craft capsized. The singer and five of the 24-man crew were trapped in an air pocket below deck, where they waited for 40 minutes until...

...talk of cops, like that of medical students and war correspondents, tends to be gruesome, outrageous and, in a brutal sort of way, funny.

...show business, as Cathy Lee Crosby could tell Joe Theismann or perhaps he could tell her, a broken leg wished on anyone is a prayer for luck. As the Super Bowl quarterback was resting comfortably in a hospital last week, and his Hollywood actress was pre-empting war and peace on Washington's 11 o'clock news, the Redskins' players and management were ashamed to say out loud that it was a lucky break...

...down on the bed, and her svelte leg made an inverted V, framing poor Benjamin Braddock. Against the bleak will of such a woman, the young man was no match--just a light lunch for the spider queen. That seduction scene from The Graduate showed the uses to which ANNE BANCROFT, 73, who died last week of uterine cancer, could apply her fierce intelligence and bold sexuality.
