...Weitzman was a consummate showman. Stolid in contrast, Assistant U.S. Attorney James P. Walsh meticulously outlined the Government's case with the help of flow charts and excerpts from recorded conversations printed on large posters. The defendant followed each statement intently, occasionally running a restless hand through his mane of silver hair. In the front row, his wife Cristina, actress and model, shook her head in mute exasperation at the prosecutor's charges...
...years and she resounds with a sensuous good humor. In this difficult role, Cher doesn't allow her character to become a stereotypical, dizzy nymph. In fact, she uses her sensuality and dark good looks to present a raunchy woman who has more to offer than a mane of wavy black hair.

...usual on the first Monday of October, the Chief Justice, his white leonine mane flowing behind him, took the center chair on the bench and announced the court's opening case (Colorado vs. New Mexico, a water-rights dispute).

...more ideal recipient of the 1981 Nobel Prize for Literature than Elias Canetti, 76, would have to be invented. When the Bulgarian-born novelist, play wright and essayist, with his Einsteinian white mane and mustache, arrives in Stockholm on Dec. 10 to claim the $180,000 award, he will precisely fit the Swedish Academy's taste in laureates. Canetti's sensibilities, like those of last year's winner, Polish Poet Czeslaw Milosz, are survivors of Europe's prewar culture. A poly lingual resident of England, who writes exclusively in a high, lapidary German, he is fashionably...
