Brooke Shields, pretty Brookie, was already a big-league stunner when most of the models backstage at the Valentino show were still in high school, and now, rubbing slender elbows with them, she was definitely not outclassed. But she was 5 ft. 10 in. and a bit the last time anyone measured ("My doctor says I'm going to be 6 ft."); she doesn't wear heels much, and she wobbled a bit as she wandered around in a yellow strapless with a puff-sleeved jacket, waiting to be hung with jewelry. Wondrous astral bodies circulated about...
Patricia, 28, has strayed furthest from the parental nest. Tall (5 ft. 8 in.), slender and quiet in manner, she not only dropped out of Northwestern University but also the lives of her parents in the early '70s. She lived with Rock Musician Bernie Leadon of the Eagles, opposed the Viet Nam War and, for a time, ceased communication with the elder Reagans.

To others, it recalled specifically...
...modestly furnished living room of a Gdansk apartment, the little man with a flowing reddish-brown mustache chain-smokes Polish cigarettes as he chats with a group of visitors. His slender, brunette wife is in the kitchen preparing Sunday dinner as his six children, ranging in age from eleven years to four months, scamper about the flat. At one moment he glances briefly at a flickering TV screen, chuckles as Laurel and Hardy fall out of bed, then resumes his conversation. Six months ago, Lech...
...hands. He ruins some of Dysart's wittiest (and in their wry humor, extremely revealing) lines by trying too hard to sound flip and sarcastic; he sounds, instead, like Clark Gable faking a British accent. Yet, Goldstien captures some of his character's most elusive qualities; perceiving the slender line between detached interest and perverse fascination, he expresses well the seduction and repulsion in Dysart as he delves into Alan's psyche...
