...Airline Biggie-and her lover of six years-Charlton Heston, as he tries to effect a mid-air rescue; Medical Problem Linda Blair, who is supposed to have a kidney in need of a transplant but seems to suffer more acutely from an Ipana smile and a crinkly nose; and Singing Nun Helen Reddy, who croons a tune that goes "I'm a best friend to myself." To know who finally saves the day you have only to check who gets top billing in the cast list...

By then Mary's marriage was all but finished; it was finally canceled...
...Jeffrey company's first near-miss after a string of Diaghilev revival hits. Last spring, for example, the troupe offered a restaging of Massine's Parade-about a bizarre Paris street fair-that is a very model of How to Do It Right. Dating from 1917, this nose-thumbing effort to epater les bourgeois was another all-star spectacular; conceived by Poet Jean Cocteau, it had jaunty Picasso sets and costumes -including a pah- of cubist constructions that might fairly be described as architecture on the move-and a maundering score by Erik Satie punctuated by typewriter sounds...
