...Jack Nicholson is either a mountebank or a highly gifted actor. Possibly he is both. As the dead-eyed hero of a couple of obscure westerns that he produced himself (The Shooting and Ride the Whirlwind), he made Clint Eastwood look like Laurence Olivier. In Easy Rider, he walked on and won the film from Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda. Then he descended to his former persona in On a Clear Day, playing either Barbra Streisand's lover or a codfish.

Mind-Blown Guards. Gedney Howe, 23, and Dennis Nicholson, 24, who roared through the East bloc on a pair of British motorcycles, found that their bikes were an invaluable way of making friends at frontiers.

In France, Hoechst executives encouraged a merger of two concerns, Roussel-Uclaf and Centrale de Dynamite, which together sell about $200 million worth of Pharmaceuticals a year -or almost as much as Rhone-Pou-lenc, the French pharmaceutical leader. Hoechst has ties to both...
