...political novice who is on leave from his job as chancellor of the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point, Dreyfus, 52, unexpectedly won his party's gubernatorial nomination after a witty and eloquent campaign. His trademark is a bright red vest, and he speaks out at every opportunity against hack politicians and their moneyed backers. "Who's going to run the show," he asks, "people or money...
Though all the Sisters' sales are more than double those in the embargo year of 1973, when the cheap-oil era ended, only three of the companies earned more profit last year than they did then: Shell, Mobil and California Standard (SoCal), which markets under its Chevron Trademark. And none but SoCal has regained the peaks of 1974, when soaring prices gave them a one-shot windfall by raising the value of petroleum they held in inventory. The later profits from price boosts have gone primarily to the OPEC nationalizes of the oil. But the companies have done...
...early 40s (she refuses to divulge her age), Cannon's screen trademark is an odd but appealing mix of sensuality and wacky spontaneity. Says Paul Mazursky, who directed her in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice: "She has this strange sexuality, which has the slightest edge of being funky, and this humor."

"I'll pick up the phone and Cy will say, 'Andy, just a couple of points.' And, man, there they'll come?tick, tick, tick; one, two, three." Aides tell of meetings that Vance holds with CIA Director Stansfield Turner, who has a similar habit. "The two of them will checklist you into stupefaction...
...Mall to the Music Hall, frontal-assaulted the Top Forty, and paid for a new sloop, Euphoria II. There aren't but a half-dozen memorable lines on the new album, and even fewer musical quirks, like the cello (the cello??) that follows Buffett down one of his trademark Acapulco cliff-diving voice drops at the end of a line and flattens out the splash. This is shrimpboat country rock all right, but it's all cluttered up with the latest radar and range-finders (like manager Irving Azoff, who flies the Eagles among others), automatic net-spreaders (the Margaritaville...
