...bending the facts to suit her case. Staffer Hank Grant routinely attributes items to "my studio spy Onda Lotalot" and "New York Spy Luce Lipp" in his daily column. He also wishes "happy birthday" in print to entertainment figures, as in the March 10 greeting to former Studio Executive Newton ("Red") Jacobs, a leader in civic causes. That salutation was sadly underinformed. Jacobs died on Nov. 6, 1980. -By William A. Henry...
...naturally effusive campaigner like Frank, she is scrupulously attentive to bread-and-butter constituent problems. Paunchy, glib and (until recently) chronically disheveled, Frank seems more like a back-room political operative than an up-front candidate. But he and his liberal orthodoxy are especially popular in Brookline and Newton, slightly tweedy and heavily Jewish suburbs that were grafted from his old district onto...
...body is here, and men may decide it is sexy for one basic reason: it can enhance sex. When Olivia Newton-John sold millions of records purring, "Let's get physical," she wasn't talking only about pushups.

Where body prophets like Patrice Donnelly dare to tread, ingenious profiteers are sure to follow. The sexy-fit look has generated a booming business. Pop songs like Newton-John's Physical and Diana Ross's Work That Body scampered up the charts. Exercise records have broken out of the vanity-house ghetto: Mickey's Mousercise has sold more than 350,000 copies. New magazines like Fit and New Body are preaching an enlightened narcissism. Fitness gurus, from Richard Simmons to Kathy Smith to that rock-hard perennial Jack LaLanne, start the TV day with exhortations to slim down and tone...
...Newton or a Tom Jones is an almost certain sellout. One of the oddest spectacles in America, in fact, has to be a Tom Jones audience, in which a couple of dozen women, usually attractive and well dressed, throw their panties onto the stage and compete for what appears to be a deep kiss from the male master of the bump and grind. Yet even in Atlantic City only four casinos regularly count on stars to help fill the gaming rooms. Like their counterparts in Vegas, the other five produce their own revues...
