Caulkins' awesome swimming performance was the highlight of the second day of the four-day AAU Swimming Nationals being held at Harvard's Blodgett Pool. While the lanky schoolgirl slowly swam a victory lap on her back, the crowded auditorium rose to its feet, applauding the stellar performance for three long minutes...
...proclamations of "I am the greatest" certainly don't fit into the modest schoolgirl's vocabulary. Answering the phone with a pleasant drawl at her Nashville. Tennessee, home recently, Caulkins displayed none of the superstar arrogance that might be expected from an athlete of her caliber. Deliberately avoiding what she says was her "yes-no" style when she first started being interviewed, Caulkins now generously devotes large chunks of time to answering reporters' questions, enthusiastically elaborating in all her responses...
This is, potentially, hot stuff. But Depardieu and Huppert, who at least on paper would seem to make a pretty erotic combination, refuse to strike sparks. Depardieu has played this part before, and now looks to have played it out. Huppert, with the freckled, enigmatic face of a sullen schoolgirl, is a tabula rosé on which other directors have written personality.

True to the ways established on the first two LPs, Forbert's melodies are catchy and his lyrics hang around to provoke rethinking. The songs not so much demand attention as engage it, sidling up to a listener's imagination with payloads of humor, observation and, sometimes, frustration...
...After Film Director Werner Schroeter reportedly suggested that someone should feed Strauss a bomb disguised as a sausage, the city of Augsburg withdrew his commission to stage an opera there. In Regensburg and Munich, some factory workers have been fired for wearing anti-Strauss buttons. An 18-year-old schoolgirl in Regensburg was expelled for refusing to take off her "Stop Strauss" button. Meanwhile, pens emblazoned with Strauss's party emblem were handed out in another Bavarian school-without protest...
