...expose. The Associates, Samuel Weston, fresh from Harvard Law School, shares those passions. In Weston's lofty view, work at Bass and Marshall is grinding, trivial and dehumanizing, especially when it interferes with Sam's love for another associate, Camilla Newman. The attraction, however, is a mystery. Ms. Newman is profane, nasty and thoroughly obsessed by her job. Her few excursions into sex make Last Tango in Paris seem tender. When she dumps Weston to take up with Lawrence, an associate who wants to make partner the way condemned men want to live, it is difficult to grant...

...marriages. And that is the way she will be billed in a March 7 NBC special, Cher ... and Other Fantasies. The concept is weak, but her 31 costumes and 22 wigs are dizzying. She appears as a slithery snakess and in a bare-belly ensemble which makes Cher resemble Ms. Tutankhamun. But perhaps the best is one in which she lounges like a leopard, and sports 27 ft. of hair...
