...E.S.T.) is the latest collaboration of Katharine Hepburn and Director George Cukor, who have worked together off and on since A Bill of Divorcement in 1932. Theirs was one of the movies' great creative partnerships: in such films as Holiday, The Philadelphia Story and Adam's Rib, they set the standard for sophisticated light comedy in American pop culture. Unfortunately, The Corn Is Green does not play to Hepburn and Cukor's strengths. This made-for-TV movie, a new adaptation of Emlyn Williams' play, is mainstream sentimental drama.

...recipes, reflections and recommendations. Julia Child & Company (Knopf; 243 pages; $8.95 paperback) is not so much a collection of recipes, of which there are a Julian abundance, as a matter of celebrations and consummations.

The tube runs up his chest to the base of his neck, where it threads into a vein leading to the superior vena cava, the large vessel that finally returns blood from the head and neck to the heart...
...nagging back, then his shoulder, then his wrist. Pepper-Pot Second Baseman Jerry Remy fractured his wrist last month, and is still playing with it taped. Dwight Evans was hit by a pitch and gets dizzy chasing fly balls. Add to that Catcher Carlton Fisk's broken rib, First Baseman George Scott's battered right middle finger. Third Baseman Butch Hobson's injured elbow and Centerfielder Fred Lynn's pulled stomach muscle, and you get a team that might be better off playing softball for Massachusetts General Hospital. Only this season's sensation, Jim Rice...
