...game who is exactly 15 years old. Brooke Shields (see accompanying story) has been on the cover of Vogue three times in the past year, shrieking with chic. Brooke Shields, coltish and flustered but so beautiful that strong men forget to flick their cigar ash, is on the runway of Rome introducing Valentino's spring collection. Brooke on TV implies in those naughty ads for Calvin Klein jeans ("Wanna know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing") that she does not wear underpants. According to Casablancas, the Manhattan-born Spanish-Frenchman who had the impudence nearly four years...
...West Germany runway models, native and foreign, do not often pose in the studios, and it is they who, as mannequins traditionally are supposed to do, spend their nights in discos and their long weekends at Gstaad or the Costa Smeralda. The American photo models, at least in a widely sworn-to stereotype, are highly professional and somewhat alarming creatures who arrive punctually, work hard and project such Teutonic brown qualities as hair in youth, curlers vivacity, and radiance and good humor.

Actually, the Algerian crew at the first plane's controls was not permitted to roll the craft down the runway until 12:33 p.m., Washington time ?some five hours after everything had seemed set for release and just eleven minutes after the Inauguration ceremony had ended on the Capitol's West Front...
...hostage story neared its climax, network anchormen displayed uncharacteristic tension. Citing an Agence France-Presse report at 10:23 a.m. that a plane was taxiing on the runway at Tehran airport, CBS's Dan Rather snapped that the wire service had been "a pillar of inaccuracy." Minutes later, convinced that the Iranians were holding the hostages until Carter was out of office, Walter Cronkite angrily confessed on the air: "I try to remain the cool correspondent, impartial and unaffected by events, but it seems like the most uncivilized final touch to an uncivilized performance that I can imagine...
