...Woman, the Paris-to-Deauville erotic express in which the plangent hearts of Jean-Louis Trintignant and Anouk Aimee beat to an inane, unforgettable score. The picture was a worldwide hit, won a couple of Oscars and provided upscale young couples with an excuse to drive fast and twirl rapturously on the beach. Now Lelouch has reunited his stars for A Man and a Woman: 20 Years Later. Aimee, whose features have calcified chicly, is a movie producer desperate to make a musical version of their tryst. Trintignant, who looks weary and has every reason to be, gets lost...
...Producer Irwin Winkler. It was the second time down the aisle for both bride and bridegroom, who afterward treated 150 or so guests, including John Travolta, Donna Summer and Bruce Jenner, to a sit-down dinner, followed by dancing to Righteous Brothers' songs performed by Bill Medley. After a twirl on the dance floor that left guests mesmerized, the couple dashed off for a one-day honeymoon at a Los Angeles hotel.

...athletes from gravity, thus making physical pyrotechnics the premiere element of the sport. The mats on which gymnasts tumble are no longer mere padding to protect against injury, but launching pads mounted on springs. The extra oomph affords additional milliseconds of hang time during which gymnasts can twist and twirl through the same maneuvers as a high diver's. For male gymnasts, wooden dowels inserted into their leather handgrips allow a lock-grip on the high bar and make possible daring-young-man flyaway tricks like the Gaylord II (see box page...
...order without constantly consulting the program: only then can they be properly drawn into the dramatic illusion. But at the American Repertory Theater's production of The School for Scandal, written in 1777 by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the audience is at ease long before the beautifully ornate sets twirl into the first scene change. Director Jonathan Miller, famed for his long comedy career and the directorship of the BBC Shakespeare television series, has the rhythm of this elegant Sheridan masterpiece down pat: the well-considered, well-balanced details of posture and diction and timing give an impression of perfect naturalness...
