...hero and heroine. Bisset is cast as the world's greatest (and probably thinnest) pastry chef, while Segal plays her ex-husband, a fast-food maven whose philan dering broke up the marriage. It is not the actors' fault that they walk through the film with plastic smiles: the characters' debates over the merits of haute cui sine and Big Macs are as predictable as their final reconciliation. Besides, it strains credibility that this couple ever split up in the first place. How could any one married to Bisset even think of car rying on with another...
Harvard's heavyweights will defend their Boston Globe Challenge Trophy (elite eights) in a new shell of white molded plastic. The boat, on loan from its designer, weighs only 175 lbs. fully rigged. It's new, it's light, and it could be very hard to set up in rough conditions, but the Crimson eight has to be a favorite to repeat as champs...
...exactly the same, thank God. Ginger didn't look the same, but that might be because she was played by a different actress. (What else has Tina Louise got to do with her time?) It began with Gilligan snoring so loud that the Skipper couldn't sleep. Then this plastic thing dropped a gold disc into the lagoon (it was supposed to be a satellite, but the special effects didn't exactly rival Star Wars). Then there was a tidal wave (I'm leaving things out, but it doesn't really matter). They floated out to sea in their...
...pages he creates a marvelously warm and funny character portrayal of the New York City pizza baron. Fats, we learn, has a mania for inventing crazy and impracticable schemes, such as an early-morning catering service called Brunch a la Goldberg, and a "pizza pusher" device made of plastic that would allow someone to eat a piece of hot pizza without burning his fingers. Best whacky idea of all, perhaps, was for Fats (who used to weigh about 400 pounds, hence the nickname) to go on a lecture tour, under the billing of "The Thin Evangelist...
...polyester mesh vest, developed by Dr. Stanley Dudrick and his team at the University of Texas, has two breast pockets that hold plastic bags filled with Jason's food-a solution of amino acids, water, sugar, salt, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins and trace elements. A battery-powered miniature pump zippered into another vest pocket propels the solution through a tube implanted in Jason's skin midway between his rib cage and navel. The tube runs up his chest to the base of his neck, where it threads into a vein leading to the superior vena cava...
