U.S.A. Vice President Loretta Cubberly said yesterday that negotiations are still in progress, and declined to comment on any possible changes in format at the popular theaters...
Cleavant Derricks, who won a Tony in the show-business musical Dreamgirls, finds a kind of heroism as Big Deal's hapless gang leader, a onetime boxer who keeps getting knocked down by life and rising to scrabble anew. His Dreamgirls partner Loretta Devine brings off an almost impossible mix as a housemaid duped into abetting the robbery: she is sexy, touchingly innocent, screamingly funny and, perhaps most astonishing in a feminist era, inoffensively but decisively dumb...

There were also high-spirited performances by CoOrganizer John Cougar Mellencamp, Bonnie Raitt, Loretta Lynn and Emmylou Harris, and an incendiary set by Bob Dylan, whose remarks at Live Aid about American farm troubles, says Nelson, "put the idea (for FarmAid) in my head." Perhaps the fleetest combination of hard music and solid sentiment came during John Fogerty's appearance, his first before...
