Dachau: 1936. The sun is hellish. Two men in prison garb stand in front of an electrified fence. Max (Richard Gere) and Horst (David Dukes) must carry heavy rocks from one side of the prison yard to the other, drop them in a pile and then carry them back. This task of inspired idiocy is designed not only to break their bodies but to crush their minds and spirits. Their crime: being homosexuals...
Bent does not begin in the death camp, but on a hung-over morning after a dissolute evening of booze, cocaine and sadomasochistic pastimes. The apartment of Max and his dancer-lover Rudy (David Marshall Grant) is broken in on by Storm Troopers. The two flee but are subsequently captured.

Reappearing in public last week, the mayor said nothing about her operation...
...Sunshine State tourist attraction. Wintering at Palm Beach this year, she still water-skis as often as she can, but that's less and less these days. The onetime Aquamaid is hard at work on a novel dealing with civil rights and loosely based on the careers of two Alabama Governors, her Uncle James E. ("Kissing Jim") Folsom and ex-Husband George Wallace. Says Cornelia, who also figures in the book: "I think it's going to be the most significant contribution to literature from the South since Gone With the Wind...
