...this desperation suggests a certain pathos, but little can match the pathetic, yet typically wry, desperation of Woody Allen's THE PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO (Harvard Square, Sunday). Superficially, Mia Farrow sees her movie idol step off the screen, but the Safari suit-clad hero enters not reality, but the world of movie-madness, the realm of the film addict who knows reality too well to want to face it.

We've played at meals and eaten off the game board. When there was a power failure we played by candlelight. There's still wax on the board...
...past midnight in a jammed terminal at Dulles International Airport, near Washington. Black supporters of the Rev. Jesse Jackson broke into spirited song, creating a revivalist mood. Mobs of reporters and photographers jostled for position. Finally, klieg lights flashed on and in their glare stood Jackson, resplendent in his safari suit and surrounded by a group of released American and Cuban prisoners. A grateful woman rushed tearfully toward the black minister and threw her arms around his chest. Jackson flashed his familiar grin...
