...Band. They run through the staple numbers in their concert repertoire, including "Stage Fright," "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" (perhaps the best number in the film), "The Weight" and other standbys. The Band is so consistent that these songs always sound great, but there is a slight difference between their 1977 renditions and the sound of their 1974 "Before the Flood" tour with Dylan. Four years ago, Garth Hudson's wailing organ played a more central role in The Last Waltz. Robertson's lead guitar dominates most of the songs. Either way, the sound is worth the price...

...G.O.P. primary by Jeffrey Bell, a former aide to Ronald Reagan. Bell warns against "bracket creep" (putting taxpayers in a higher income tax bracket because of inflation) and backs a House bill calling for a 30% general cut in income tax rates. At the moment, Bradley is a slight favorite over Leone, and Case a heavy favorite not only next week but in November as well...

There seems to be no limit to the potential of this slight young Kentuckian who so loves to ride. "Gettin' the best you can from a horse, that's the whole thing," he says. "That's the real pleasure."

"You have to perform, have to do your...

...stars are as engaging as the director demands. Morgan, here returning to the screen after an eight-year absence, makes the chic middle-aged murder suspect an aloof yet touching figure: she always retains her bourgeois hauteur, but we see the pain of her predict ament in the slight flickering of her large blue eyes. Reggiani is a delight. With his hound-dog face and wry manner, he is every bit as amusingly world-weary as Happy New Year's hero, Lino Ven tura. No wonder all the other characters openly adore...

...marriage was dead, friends say, by 1974, when Margaret met Roddy Llewellyn, the pale, slight son of Lieut. Colonel Henry Llewellyn, a champion equestrian. After the two went on a much-publicized trip to the Caribbean island of Mustique in 1976, Margaret and Snowdon legally separated. Braving the ire of her sister, Queen Elizabeth II, Margaret continued to be seen in public with Roddy. When the pair spent their fourth holiday in Mustique last March, the British press headlined its disapproval while some Members of Parliament ominously asserted that the princess, by neglecting her public duties, was not earning...
