Shoot alors! as the French might say. Who was that pulchritudinous paparazza, knee to floor, eye to Pentax, fighting for focusing space at Paris' men's ready-to-wear fashion show? It was British Actress Charlotte Rampling (The Night Porter) on assignment for Vogue Hommes. Rampling discovered still cameras two years ago. Since then, she has been shooting whenever she isn't being shot for the movies. "Photography is like a time span of all the people I love and meet," she explains. Due in New York this week to begin work in Woody Allen...
Fleet Street cynics might say that Britain needs a new weekly newsmagazine like Newcastle needs more coal. The nation already has the respected Economist (circ. 66,000), regional editions of TIME (78,000) and Newsweek (40,000), as well as six London Sunday papers (combined circ. 18,300,000) that are sped overnight on Britain's excellent rail system to steepled hamlets from Dover to Dundee.

Most people watch TV news to be amused and diverted, or to make sure that their homes and families are safe and secure...
...reverse. Salant sounds like a football coach after a bad loss: "NBC has got to get its pride back. I can't stand this 'you win some, you lose some' attitude." Salant has hired Bill Small, a top CBS executive, to shake up NBC News. "They say morale's bad, wondering what kind of changes are coming here," says Salant. "They ought to be worried." But Salant still refuses to jazz up the news. Just before he arrived at NBC the network made an admirably Salantesque gesture: it abolished the bouncy Henry Mancini theme that introduced...
