At a tête-à-tête with Deng Xiaoping, 77, in the Great Hall of the People, Carter told the Chinese Senior Vice Chairman, "If you had been my running mate in the last election, we would have won again."

And generations of aging boys, who recall Maureen O'Sullivan's nude swimming scene in the 1934 Tarzan and His Mate, will be forced to make do with a little Bo peek. Meanwhile Hollywood is happy to have another scandale on its hands. "Well, well, well," drawled one director working on the MGM lot, " Junglegate.'' -By Richard Corliss.
