...five singles. Name those tunes and, very likely, you can sing a chorus, along with all the Lauper loopies who cover the age spectrum, from dress-alike five-year-olds to grannies gone groovy: All Through the Night; She Bop, which inverted Gene Vincent's classic Be-Bop-a-Lula into a thoroughly unapologetic paean to female autoeroticism; Time After Time; and Girls Just Want to Have Fun, a kind of antic feminist anthem that helped get Cyndi on the cover of Ms. as one of its women of the year. No other woman has made an album...

After visiting relatives down South, Lula Fields, 43, was driving home to Michigan with her husband when she appeared to doze off near Jackson, Tenn. He stopped their car to rouse her, but failed: she had died, soundlessly, of a heat stroke caused by the 100° F weather. In Atlanta, Willie Jones, 52, was discovered prostrate on the floor of his hot, airless apartment; half an hour after doctors packed him in ice, he was still unconscious, with an almost unheard-of body temperature of 116°.
