...beepers' appeal must be partly credited to the status they bestow on the wearer. Salesmen visiting clients sometimes set theirs off manually, then announce they must leave to close a $10,000 deal. Says Chicago-based Airline Stewardess Sonja Lied: "When it goes off in a restaurant, people think I must be somebody very important." Still, the little boxes do have a knack for going off at the wrong moments: in church, at the symphony, in bed. Husbands, wives and lovers have been known to banish the gadgets from the bedroom. Could those little blurps and beeps...
...today. L.A. crime dramas get the treatment with "Police Comic," a one-minute bit in which a stand-up joking cop makes the bad guy give up with one joke. Weak? You should hear the joke. The new ethnic sitcoms are covered with "Ramon and Sonja," where a typical gypsy family, a cab-driver, two whores and a "faggot" (I'd like a peanut for every time that word is used; I could run for president) live together in disharmony and squalor. Mother whore to father: Our son would never harm a fly. Daughter: Yeah, unless it was open. Really...
...stop itinerary that would sap a Saab. Denmark's Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik will arrive May 9 for a nine-city tour winding up in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which were hornswoggled from their country for $25 million in 1916. Norway's Crown Prince Harald and Princess Sonja will explore Leif Ericson's land in June; earlier the same month, Spain's new King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia will visit President Ford in Washington; so, commemorating 1776 not 1812, will Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. Monaco's Prince Rainier and Princess Grace will be in New York...
Their Majesties' almost treasonous appeal will be apparent in coming months as millions of Americans switch TV dials from Sonny and Cher to Sonja and Harald and Liz and Phil spectaculars. The royals have always been polished performers. They have, after all, been in the magic business for a long, long time, and their claim to the copyright on Camelot is, in many ways, as enduring as it ever was. Democracies have long since learned they can live comfortably either with them or without them. But the mystique of nationhood is as elusive of definition as ever, and wherever Kings...
...Sonja (Diane Keaton), an arouseful little blouseful who confesses that she has been faithful to the male population west of Minsk. The lovers are poor but wretched, living only on snow and an occasional treat of sleet. To relieve the chill, they engage in those favorite occupations of Russian novelists, the epistemological debate and the religious monologue. "Socrates is a man; all men are mortal; therefore all men are Socrates," concludes Boris. It is this kind of syllogism that moves him to assassinate Napoleon, an adventure that ends, of course, with the wrong man slain. No matter. A celestial sign...
