Even on dry land his scowl could sink a ship. So Walter Matthau had no trouble at all swashbuckling himself into the character of the peg-legged Captain Thomas Bartholomew Red in Roman Polanski's Pirates. The idea of making a period film appealed to him because "I get to act instead of just being Walter Matthau." But apart from the acting, it has not been a barrel of yo- ho-hos. His beard itched for the first five months, dragging around in his 30-lb. costume has been a drudge, and the wooden leg is not exactly comfortable. Filming...
Seale wore a beret and a scowl when he and Huey Newton formed the Black Panthers in Oakland in 1966. His disruptions aroused combative Judge Julius Hoffman to have him shackled to a chair and gagged during the Chicago Seven trial. Today he lives in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, attends Temple University and directs a youth training program.

Diplomats who for more than a quarter-century have learned to read the lines on Gromyko's face for clues about Soviet moves abroad have noticed that the fleeting smile that he would offer during the halcyon days of détente has turned to a quasipermanent scowl. His lips seem pursed to utter a defiant nyet at a moment's notice. Says a West German official recently returned from Moscow: "His is the first face you see when you arrive and the last face you see when you leave. These days it is not a pleasant face...
