...history ($195 million), the film may very well break European records too. In Paris, where it opened last October, 1 million people went to see the robots, Artoo Detoo and Threepio, at the annual toy show, and kids say goodbye with a wave of the arm and a "Que la force soit avec toi." Their parents are standing in line too, and journals have hailed its brave statement of the human spirit...
True to his word, the murderer struck again last week, creeping up behind a couple parked on a tree-shaded street near a disco-théque in the borough of Queens and firing four shots from his .44-caliber Charter Arms "Bulldog." Though Judy Placido, 17, and Salvatore Lupo, 20, his tenth and eleventh victims, were wounded, both miraculously survived. But the latest, and most publicized, attack tightened the grip of fear on neighborhoods in Queens and in The Bronx, where the bizarre, psychopathic killer has chosen his targets...
...well-shaped or the merely well-heeled-and just about anyone else who yearns to break out of 9-to-5 humdrum into a space-age world of mesmeric lighting, Neronian dècor and, of course, music, music, music.

Secret of Success. Vollard was a bizarre figure: no wonder other dealers saw him as a métèque, an interloper, before they learned to fear him. He arrived in Paris to study law in 1890, coming from the insignificant French colony of Reunion Island. He had black blood in his veins. A vast, slow-moving creature like a sloth-though one of his artists, Dunoyer de Segonzac, nastily compared him to a giant ape hanging in the shop entrance-Vollard cultivated a strategy of immobility. He stroked his cat, pretended to doze, listened and said little...
Pierre, the main character in Pas si Mechant que ca (or The Wonderful Crook as its American promoters have inadequately dubbed it) looks strong, clumsy and dumb--like the stereotypical college football star. The opening sequences of the film cut from a shot of Pierre armwrestling with his fellow workers to one of the boss yelling because Pierre is "always playing around" and has lacquered a board that should have remained natural. So, when the foreman calls for Pierre we expect he will be reprimanded and find out instead that the boss is, in fact, Pierre's father, and that...
