...star in Hollywood is to be pegged as the reincarnation of some old star, and Costner watchers have their candidates. "Kevin fulfills many of the same ideals that a Jimmy Stewart or a Gary Cooper did for their generation: the little guy against the system, the pure guy vs. evil, the strong man in a time of trouble," says Tom Pollock, chairman of the MCA Motion Picture Group. "It's hard to think of any other leading man in his 30s who can play this variety of roles -- action hero, romantic lead and family...
Paramount attacked the revised Time-Warner merger agreement as "a defensive device, pure and simple. From the standpoint of Time shareholders," the company said, "we don't see how it begins to compare with our offer of $175 a share in cash for all shares." Declared Paramount's principal investment banker, Robert Greenhill of Morgan Stanley: "We consider this a very weak response."

Feminist clout also shows up in the book's liturgical section. In the new wedding ritual, for example, the father no longer gives away the bride. Another change in worship concerns the Lord's Supper. The abstemious Methodists specified in their 1966 hymnal that only "the pure unfermented juice of the grape shall be used." Teetotalers attending last year's Methodist conference failed to get that clause inscribed into church law, and the new hymnal omits the rule. So congregations may use wine if they wish, but most Methodists still opt for grape juice. Score one for tradition...
