...Mick Jagger is like an aging but still energetic courtesan: he gives pleasure so expertly it hardly matters that his heart and guts may not be in his work. Hal Ashby's slapdash film record of the Rolling Stones' 1981 U.S. tour reveals the old showman parading his tricks with skill and snazz. Against a pointillist backdrop of thousands of shirts and faces, Jagger skip-sprints across the huge stage, towels off his crotch with his jacket, executes arabesques and aerobics, drapes himself in chiffon or Stars and Stripes or next to nothing. He sings too, though...
...Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Nightingale, the Chinese Emperor, although captivated by the sound of his songbird, replaces it with a jewel-encrusted replica. The parable may reflect the mid-life anxieties of Mick Jagger, 39, who plays the Emperor in this summer's broadcast of Showtime TV's Faerie Tale Theater.

In the free-for-all called cable access, gurus and do-gooders are proselytizing for churches without disciples, causes without effect. A raunchier access channel offers the spectacle of a young...

Cornelia seems like a bashful cheerleader, smirky and proud and a little unsure. The last of the eight songs is Satisfaction, which Cornelia's friend Mick Jagger recorded with the Rolling Stones in 1965, when she was an infant. "Wasn't it a great moment?" says Stein of the finale...
...West Virginia, socially conservative Charlestonians and coal miners in 1980 elected to Congress Republican Mick Staton, who had won local fame by leading a fight to remove textbooks that he considered unpatriotic or too sexually explicit from Kanawha County public schools. Campaigning for reelection, Staton told constituents this year that he felt he had been "raised up by God" to lead them. The voters disagreed; heavy unemployment reminded them of their traditional economic liberalism. They elected Democrat Bob Wise, a populist lawyer and state senator...
