...setting sun of Old West values. He has the requisite danger for big-screen stardom -- the stubbornness in pursuit of ideals, the slow anger when pushed, the threat in a face that can mask its intentions -- even as his actions inspire trust. He could be a husband, a lover, a chief of state. And now Costner is poised to tote the ten commandments of frontier heroism into an anxious new decade. He is the hard- riding scout bearing the movies' message of what America thinks it was and hopes it can be again...
...mayor of Detroit, Coleman Young copes mainly with tedious municipal problems. But last January the monotony was interrupted: a paternity suit named the 71-year-old Young as father of Joel Loving, 6, born in 1982 to Annivory Calvert, 34. She claimed Young was her exclusive lover from 1981 to 1987. Twice divorced and unmarried, Young handled the allegation deftly.

SCOOP: A SCANDAL INVOLVING PRIME MINISTER UNO, shrieked a headline in the weekly magazine Sunday Mainichi. In an interview, the 40-year-old, otherwise unidentified former geisha said Uno paid her about $21,000 during a five-month affair that began in October 1985.

...Sandra, like most of Weldon's women, manages to wrest victory out of surrender. For one thing, she tells the story of her flight from boring respectability to middle-aged hedonism with bawdy, invigorating wit; silence may be her best defense in the presence of her new lover, but she is irrepressibly outspoken when she sets pen to paper. "Look, I'm really something, me," she tells herself. "And also I am nothing," she continues, in a characteristic about-face.
