...tinted, a rather bizarre close-up of that very bizarre film star, Shelley Duvall. Duvall wears her exquisitely vacant stare--deep eyes beneath wispy bangs looking vaguely pre-Raphaelite. This is a fan magazine for people whose sensibilities are affronted by the lack of subtlety in run-of-the-mill collections of chit-chat with the stars...
...half profits has prompted the company to ask 10,000 nonunion and management employees to give up a cost of living raise averaging $19 a month that was due in August.

The richest-and most crowded-site is the Mother Lode, a network of streams cutting through the High Sierra in Northern California. There at General John Suiter's mill, 90 miles south of Downieville, James Marshall set off the great gold rush of 1849 by discovering a shiny gilt object smaller than a pea. While the Mother Lode has yielded a billion dollars' worth of gold since then, geologists estimate that the vast majority of the region...
