...mister, can you please tell me if 23355 is O.K.?" asked Lorenzo Chavez, who was reciting the identification number of his brother Gilbert. No answer came back. At week's end anthropologists from the University of New Mexico were sifting through ashes in the burned buildings, looking for teeth, bones and anything else that remained of the missing inmates Some 350 survivors huddled under blankets in the 20° cold of the prison compound. The rest were kept temporarily in the buildings that had escaped destruction. State officials estimated that it will take seven months and $22 million...
...plays Michelle Stafford, the horny wife of a U.S. Senator who drools over Julian, wants him so bad she shakes in his presence. She follows in the grand tradition of Ali MacGraw in Players, a beautiful older woman who can't read a line without revealing her flawed front teeth or her flawed acting.

Hoglund, an art director for More, the now defunct journalism review, has done plenty of fast cover drafting since he joined TIME in 1977. "Disaster and late-breaking cover stories...
Rarely have two actors, Edward Fox and Cynthia Harris, looked so right and yet been so wrong for their parts. King Edward's charm was famous; Fox seems to think that that elusive quality can be conveyed by flashing his teeth, which he does with alarming regularity. Simpson was enormously attractive to many men; as Harris portrays her, even a dullard like this Edward would have had enough sense to pack her off to the Tower - or head for the door at first sight...
