...Coup de Foudre, French Film Maker Diane Kurys (Peppermint Soda) etched an acute, critical portrait of her own family in the early 1950s and drew splendid performances from Miou-Miou, Isabelle Huppert and Guy Marchand. Chantal Akerman, a Belgian director whose monumental minimalist soap opera, the 1975 Jeanne Dielman, has made her queen of the European film avantgarde, confounded all expectations with a sprightly, witty musical called The '80s.

If you've been good, you can take a peppermint sucker from the big glass candy jar that Stanley keeps on the counter...
...company is trying to launch the Grandson of Hoop. At New York City's annual toy fair last month, Miss U.S.A., Kim Seelbrede, was on display whirling the 1982 model, known as the Peppermint Hula Hoop, because it bears barber-pole stripes and is peppermint scented. In coming weeks the hoop will be featured in an episode of the television comedy-adventure The Dukes of Hazzard, and paraded in Daytona Beach, Fla., at an olympiad of hoop-based sporting events during the spring break for college students...
