...course they vary from case to case. One big factor is probably the fear that if you start something with a woman in your House, as opposed to a woman at Wellesley or Pine Manor, it will inevitably become something "intense." But another big factor is probably the mistaken impression that many men have that every Radcliffe woman has 2.5 men beating down her door. They just give up before they start. As a result, many of the women are developing all sorts of insecurities, asking themselves continually, "What's wrong with...
...Wagner, 78, broke a 30-year public silence to talk about herself and Hitler in a five-hour film, Winifred Wagner and the History of Haus Wahnfried, 1914-1975, which premiered in Paris recently. Her basic message: anybody who thinks that Hitler was cruel, malevolent and even megalomaniacal is mistaken about his "good and human" nature. He was the sort of man, she recalls, who could be tempted into cheating on his vegetarian diet with liver dumplings.

Where Allen shines is not in slapstick situations but in soliloquies and banter duets. He and Sonia (Diane Keaton), an intellectual Russian nymph, often find themselves grappling with...
...only other recent troubles have also been matters of mistaken identity. In the early '70s the youthful population, still politicized and ever on the alert for potential messiahs, passed the word that Elton was the new "heavy"-sort of a Bob Dylan with sequins. Encouraged by pop's desperately sober critical establishment, they began combing his works for "messages." Worse, they were pretty sure they found some. The King Must Die was obviously about the Memphis assassination, while Honky Chateau was clearly a code word for the White House, Madman Across the Water a musical portrait of Richard...
