...legend, a figure immortalized, if that is the word, in Judith Krantz's I'll Take Manhattan? "Donald Trump, the brilliant, ambitious young real estate man whom even his enemies had to admit was disarmingly unaffected," Krantz wrote with her endearing uncertainty about personal pronouns, "rose to meet Maxi...
NASA's opposition was probably foredoomed. At $700 million, ISF not only is much cheaper than the big station but could go into orbit by 1991 -- five years after the successful Mir orbiter was launched by the Soviets, but six years before NASA's maxi-station becomes operational. Besides, say ISF proponents, it poses no threat to NASA. Designed primarily for materials research and automated manufacturing, it will use little new technology and carry no life-support systems for visiting astronauts. Explains Space Industries CEO Maxime Faget, an ex-NASA engineer: "We're an interim step toward the space station...

Where on earth, in this era of female liberation and utilitarian dress, did these saucy, sexy, impractical throwbacks come from...
...Take Manhattan is the latest of Judith Krantz's steamy best-selling novels to be made into a TV mini-series. This one, scheduled for CBS next season, stars Valerie Bertinelli as Maxi Amberville, heiress to a troubled publishing empire. When things look bad, sexy Maxi turns for aid to a worldly real estate developer named Donald Trump, played by Donald Trump. The megamogul had a small, key speaking part in a scene that was filmed last week in -- where else? -- his own Trump Tower. Sighed Bertinelli: "He's so handsome." Trump, an old friend of Krantz...
