...search of supper. Now and again another boat passed, and the people smiled and waved, smiled and waved. In the morning we crossed the river on a ferry, passing two rusted American armor-plated patrol boats moored to a . banana tree. In the Ashau Valley, denuded today, Dave fell silent. After some time, he said, ''A lot of good guys bought it here.'' We looked for Hamburger Hill, where 242 of them bought it in a week. Once, a rocket-propelled
...Lauper era. The Wayback Machine keeps spinning until we are in Weimar * Berlin, with Madonna in Dietrich drag warbling Teutonic twaddle: ''Like a wer- gin, touched for the werry vurst time.'' She is Carmen Miranda (Going Bananas), Gene Kelly (La Isla Bonita), the Brigitte Helm robot goddess from the silent film Metropolis. She saves her best anachronistic joke for last: the steamy Justify My Love is performed in stately cadence and Edwardian morning coats. It might be the Ascot Gavotte from My Fair Lady.

There have been reports that some people, including looters, did not realize the danger. A Soviet newspaper disclosed that police sentries and, later, burglar alarms were used to protect Pripyat's abandoned dwellings. Beyond that, Soviet militia units and troops...
...Oleg Vinogradov's fanciful way of explaining how he put iron willpower into his prize ballerina. Asylmuratova (Ah-sil-mu-rah- tova) has an expansive, luscious quality. In a tantalizing way, she seems to represent the past and the future: her round face and small, full mouth recall a silent-film heroine's docility, yet her bold attack is as fresh and fearless as tomorrow. She was born in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, deep in Central Asia. Both of her parents were dancers. At ballet school in Leningrad, her talents were spotted early. Says Vinogradov: ''I saw she had unique possibilities...
