...help set up the shooting. Armed with tripod and timer, the Senator went through twelve rolls of Kodak Ektachrome ASA-64 film in his 2¼-by-2¼ Hasselblad, while Mims backed him up with Kodachrome in his Nikon motordrive. As the shooting proceeded, Baker began to relax. "This is the most fun I have had in two months," he told Mims. In the end, Robert Grossman's airbrushed caricature beat out the Senator's efforts for the cover. But readers can see one well-focused result of serious self-photography on page...

The ex-National Security Adviser, who resigned in January after the controversy over his handling of gifts from a Japanese magazine, was simply trying his own hand after judging a local kite-flying contest on Sanibel Island, Fla.

Then the President got away to relax at the empty nine-room Barbadian villa of Paul Brandt, a furniture manufacturer from Fort Worth. (Colbert's home was too small...
...take advantage of all parts of the room, not confining themselves strictly to the stage. The precise comic timing, versatility of the actors and fluidity of the actions produce a completely polished series of one-act farces. The informal cabaret style provides an excellent opportunity for the audience to relax and enjoy the near-professional acting. And Norman R. Shapiro's elegant translations avoid the familiar trap of stilted-seeming pieces of localized humor. The evening of French farce at Adams House transforms the audience from a collection of Harvard students to sophisticated connoisseurs of savory French drama...
