Those who do get in will usually confront a scene designed to stir the imagination. From the shark tank at Area to Danceteria's "Wuthering Heights" elevator, the purpose of the physical accoutrements is to draw the clubgoer out of quotidien life and into a netherworld of unusual activity. The nightclub's ideal role is no longer to provide singles with potential partners or to satiate the hungry dancer with the charm of the bass. Though there is concern with sex and song here, these clubs, more than anything else, attempt to capture and define the sub-culture that...

...Spielberg is TIME's third cover- length look at the Hollywood superczar and his work. But it is the first appearance of Spielberg himself on the cover. For a 1975 account of the making of Jaws, his first megahit, the cover honors went to Bruce, the mechanical great white shark. A second, planned cover, in 1982, heralding E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and Poltergeist, was bumped at the last minute when British troops landed on the Falkland Islands, though a long story ran inside. In the three years since E.T., notes Senior Writer Richard Corliss, who wrote both this week...

...Boone Pickens was beginning to look like an unstoppable threat. Moving with growing audacity, Pickens and his partners had piled up more than $800 million in profits during the past three years in raids on several companies, notably Phillips Petroleum and Gulf. But last week the most feared shark in the corporate sea lost a few teeth. In his first clear defeat, Pickens grudgingly agreed to halt his three-month pursuit of California's Unocal, the twelfth largest U.S. oil company. While Pickens maintains he will at least break even on the deal, analysts expect that the Mesa Petroleum chairman...

Since October the hungriest shark in the corporate sea has been swimming gradually smaller circles around California's Unocal, the 14th largest U.S. oil company (1984 sales: $11.5 billion). Corporate Raider T. Boone Pickens started buying into the company's stock, insisting at first that he intended to make only a modest investment. Pickens confirmed last week that his appetite has grown. The Mesa Petroleum chairman announced that his investor group, which now holds 13.6% of Unocal, is seriously considering an effort to gain control of the company. Pickens' group last week asked Unocal to postpone its annual shareholders meeting...

...Castel Sant'Angelo and a waiter whose face he cut open in a squabble about artichokes. He was sued for libel in Rome and mutilated in a tavern brawl in Naples. He was saturnine, coarse and queer. He thrashed about in the etiquette of early seicento cultivation like a shark in a net. So where is the mini-series? When will some art-collecting shlockmeister of Beverly Hills produce The Shadows and the Sodomy, the 1980s' answer to The Agony and the Ecstasy...
