Entertainer Ann-Margret, 31, seems to be able to take anything in her stride -including a near fatal 20-ft. fall. Though she suffered a broken jaw, five facial fractures and a broken arm, it took only three months for her to get back on the nightclub circuit. Now she is ready to go before a nationwide audience and is busy taping the NBC special When You're Smiling, to be aired April 4.

...past, is Henry's initiation into life. As this provincial survives one mindblower after another, stiff primness relaxes into tolerance. Augusta tells him that his legal mother was in fact a virgin, Wordsworth substitutes that woman's ashes with cannabis, he is accosted by whores in a sleazy Paris nightclub while a stripper twirls platinum coated nipples in the spotlights. Aunt Augusta is Henry's wicked fairy--in the beginning a brazen hussy, in the end a worn out bronze he has come to love...
