Another DeLay student, the sloe-eyed, Roman-born Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, has had a rapid ascent since her 1981 victory in the Naumburg International Violin Competition. Salerno-Sonnenberg, 27, is a mediagenic performer hailed by some for her intensity ("the Edith Piaf of the violin," a colleague has called her) and scorned by others for the eccentric collection of tics, twitches and transports that form her onstage persona. But there is no gainsaying her vivid stage presence, or the enthusiasm with which she imbues her performances. Other noteworthy women violinists include the Kavafian sisters, Ani, 39, and Ida, 35, both...
...episode of the classic Walt Disney film Fantasia, the dinosaurs take over the earth to the impassioned strains of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. An adorable clutch of baby tricerotopses hatches from eggs; sloe-eyed brontosauruses wade in marshes; a bony-backed stegosaurus struggles for its life against the meat-eating Tyrannosaurus rex. But as the years flash by, the world mysteriously grows hotter and more violent: swamps evaporate, earthquakes trigger giant tidal waves, and the princely reptiles crawl across an encroaching desert to meet their certain doom...

Amy Irving, 31, sloe-eyed actress (Yentl, TV's The Far Pavilions) who plays a pregnant woman in her upcoming film Mickey and Maude; and Steven Spielberg, 36, everybody's favorite cinematic exploiter of childhood fears and fancies (E.T., Gremlins, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom): their first child; early next summer. The couple have no current plans...
...days after 18-year-old Oona O'Neill had described her eight-month acquaintance with Charles Chaplin as "entirely on the esoteric side," the comedian packed sleek, sloe-eyed Oona into a car, picked up the certificate and a case of champagne at Santa Barbara, sped to coastal Carpinteria, nervously found the finger for her first and his fourth wedding ring, hid himself and his bride somewhere in Montecito. Only the week before he had agreed to pay his pre-Oona protegee Joan Berry $2,500 down, legal costs, and support until the blood test which...
...first hour, called Daybreak, was predominantly devoted to a rapid-fire rendition of major news stories. The next 2¼ hr., titled Good Morning Britain, presented by Frost and the sloe-eyed former Independent Television News (ITN) newscaster Anna Ford, featured interviews averaging five minutes each and lighter fare. The first week showed Frost, cheeky and condescending as usual, performing such tasks as reading bloopers from the morning papers. Frost and Ford will also be hosts on a semiregular feature called Through the Keyhole, in which a probing TV-am reporter rummages around the home of a celebrity, psychoanalyzing...
