...whole 1960s (Remember Stern ? A Mother's Kisses ?), hasn't exactly been idle during his long layoff. He wrote The Lonely Guy's Book of Life, which not only advised single fellas how to cope but became a motion picture vehicle for Steve Martin. He did the screenplay for Stir Crazy and pitched in on the scenarios of Doctor Detroit and Splash. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that Bruce hasn't lost a step in the dialogue department. And the way he spins yarns is enough to make even nonreaders feel right at home. In fact...
Through the power of the Cubs' international superstation WGN, a concrete mixer of a television play-by-play man named Harry Caray is the team's singular star.

...outside world. In fact, very little was known in the West about Gorbachev until recently, except that he was a Moscow State University-trained lawyer and an agronomist, and a man of remarkable political staying power. Then, last December in Britain, Gorbachev and his wife created a stir with their unproletarian style--the London penny press called them the Gucci Comrades. Within days a Soviet media star was born who sported dark, conservatively cut suits, smiled and joked, and was fast on his feet in a way that led one British journalist to compare him to "a successful lawyer...
