...come a long way, flying nun. From that silly television series about a novice who had an airborne habit, Sally Field landed in a serious role as Norma Rae, the Southern mill hand with a heart of steel and an eye for her union organizer. Fresh from that Academy Award performance, Field is at work in the South again in an even more down-to-earth assignment. In Back Roads, now shooting in Mobile, Ala., she plays a hooker who falls in love with a down-and-out boxer and decides to travel cross-country with him. If her roles...

...much too sophisticated for "the old lady in Dubuque." If that instantly famous putdown ever had any accuracy, it surely does not now. Dubuque (pop. 65,000) has a lady mayor. And at 44, she is neither old nor unworldly-even though her honor, Carolyn Farrell, is a nun of the Sisters of Charity. Dean of continuing education at Dubuque's Clarke College, Farrell (she prefers not to be called "sister") has sat on the five-member city council since 1977. Sophisticated? Well, she enjoys an occasional Manhattan, plays golf, and as a Jimmy Carter Democrat, comprehends the intricacies...
