...Rizzo's foes-he calls them animals, bums and cockroaches-have formed an unusual coalition that gives new meaning to the phrase City of Brotherly Love. The mayor has brought them all together by pushing for approval at the Nov. 7 election of a change in the city's charter that would allow him to run for a third term next year. His opponents include the Black United Front Against Charter Change, the liberal Committee to Protect the Charter and the businessmen's Committee for the Defense of the Charter. Says Banker R. Stuart Rauch Jr.: "Rizzo...
Bonnie Stratton's day begins at 6:30, when she joins the recruits and drill sergeants for one hour of morning exercises. "I love to run, dodge and jump," she says. "The males keep going because they see me doing it." Not long ago, she raced one of them. "We were neck and neck all the way," she recalls. "The other trainees rooted him on, but we finished together. It would have been a sorry mess if I hadn't matched...
Indeed, Wojtyla is known as a staunch conservative on specific issues of doctrine, morality and church authority. On the birth-control question, Wojtyla was on record against all artificial methods in his book Love and Responsibility (1960) before Paul VI took the same position in his much attacked Humanae Vitae encyclical of 1968.

As McDowell's keeper, a prissy old couturier, Olivier has The Collection's only openly emotional scene. It is a shocker. When he falls...
...Soldier (Oct. 30, NBC, 9 p.m. E.D.T.). Television's most gifted young actress, Kristy McNichol of Family, is sadly wasted in this glossy but dim-witted adaptation of a favorite junior high school book. Summer is ostensibly about a small-town Jewish girl in Georgia who falls in love with a German P.O.W. (Bruce Davison) during World War II. For reasons that are not clear, Writer Jane-Howard Hammerstein short changes the love story to dwell on the her oine's father (Michael Constantine), a surly merchant with unexplained psychotic tendencies. McNichol and Davison just do not have...
