...Italy, Special Prosecutor Domenico Sica questioned the sole surviving terrorist from the Rome attack, who gave his name as Mohammed Sharam, 19. Sica then flew to Vienna to compare notes with investigators there. He is next expected to make a quick trip to Brussels, where police last week arrested two Arabs and charged them with conspiracy to commit a crime. Also arrested was their host, a Belgian video store owner in the provincial town of Hasselt, in whose possession police found 40 lbs. of explosives. The Belgian had been previously convicted on charges of illegal arms possession. The disclosure seemed...
...Judy Garland's ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz have been auctioned off; stars dim as predictably as sunrise; archetype runs downhill to caricature: Clark Gable is copied by Burt Reynolds who fades into Tom Selleck. Louise Brooks, who seems to have spent her retirement reading, offers the sole consolation. "Proust wrote: 'The only paradise is paradise lost.' Isn't that beautiful?" she asks Kobal.

No matter where he is playing, he dines on Dover or gray sole flown in fresh that day. His wife, his housekeeper, his manager, his piano technician and a Steinway official all accompany him--as does, of course, his piano. The $40,000 concert grand, plucked by crane from the living room of his Manhattan townhouse, had its 12,000 parts cleaned and examined with a degree of care worthy of Air Force One. Its mahogany case was given...
...Side, purchased in 1947 for $30,000 and now worth a hundred times that amount, the Horowitzes live quietly, comfortably and just a little eccentrically. They eat out practically every night, chauffeured to one of a few favorite, mostly Italian restaurants, where Horowitz dines on pasta and the inevitable sole. After returning home, he relaxes by watching a triple feature of adventure and horror movies (The Terminator, Halloween, Raiders of the Lost Ark) on his videocassette recorder, then turns in about 4 a.m. and sleeps until noon. He no longer smokes, does not drink and never eats meat...
