...bold was Husband No. 4 Peter Holm, 40, a onetime Swedish pop star who, after being kicked out of their former home, picketed Collins in protest. JOAN, YOU HAVE OUR $2.5 MILLION, 13,000-SQ.-FT.

...sang Papa Don't Preach, the screens flashed Ronald Reagan's image; at song's end, they bore the message SAFE SEX. Everyone got the message from the concert, which raised $400,000 for the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AMFAR), and from a comic book about AIDS. "Read this booklet," a handwritten note urged, "then give it to your best friend. It just might save his or her life. It just might save your own. Love, Madonna...

In his high school yearbook he is facetiously depicted as "Big Chief Brain in Face." He can wax ecstatic over finding a pair of $47 shoes in a discount outlet, and has owned just four cars in the past quarter- century: a Rambler, two Plymouths and the current 1981 Dodge. "My wife says...

...less an actors' showcase than a smart, grim satire. The only TV program to be seen is a slapstick variety show. Commercials peddle the 6000 SUX, the car of the future that brags about getting only 8.2 m.p.g., and a holocaust home-video game called Nukem. Giggly anchors read news flashes about, say, a Star Wars misfire that totaled Santa Barbara and killed two ex-Presidents...
