First it was fancy sneakers, then stylish sunglasses. These days World War II- style leather bomber jackets, valued at up to $300, are the booty of choice for the discriminating young thief in the chilly Northeast. In Boston some 40 incidents have involved bomber jackets. New York City has also seen a rash of ) jacket crimes. But Newark has been hardest hit, with 78 jacket robberies in January alone, 56 of them involving deadly weapons. The Newark police have formed a special jacket unit, some of whose members don models from among the confiscated supply and walk the streets, hoping...
...Bill Bradfield avoided that man like a vampire avoids sunburn," and "as predictable as a Tijuana dog race." At times his tone grows weary, as if he were thinking, "How the hell did I ever get mixed up with these wackos and patsies?" Schwartz-Nobel is less imaginative and stylish in her handling of a sensational case with TV-movie potential. She also has bad taste, quoting at the end of her account a "poem" written by Bradfield that begins "Sue was extremely sensitive and terribly, easily hurt./ I tried to put limits on the relationship."

A year later he stubbed his ego on the contumely of critics when his next film, The Moon in the Gutter, was hooted out of the Cannes Film Festival. Both films were arias of adolescent male obsession with the fatal mystery of womanhood, a theme that Betty Blue investigates more maturely, more dangerously. There is doubtless a feminist parable to be found here, and criticism to be made of its too schematic structure. But the film is full of quirky incident and compassionate humor. What might have repelled ultimately...
...each in a distinctive style. Foremost among them are the reserved restoration of the haute cuisine Lutece; the playful deli-diner that is Lox Around the Clock; Casino Pascal, a barren redo of a plusher, earlier Lopata work; and Extra! Extra!, in the New York Daily News Building, a stylish cafe with a black-and-white newsprint theme and "spilled ink" glazed onto floor tiles. On the drawing board for next year: a face- lifting for that theater-district landmark, Sardi...
