...movie screen, but he is still high on show business. Lacing on skates instead of running shoes, he sings and cavorts with fellow Olympic Star Dorothy Hamill on her April 28 ABC special. In one sequence he does a James Bond routine and brandishes a smoking umbrella. "He was really a lot of fun to work with. He made me feel relaxed," says Hamill. Which helped during a mishap. Instead of being lifted straight up on harnesses for a "flying" number, Jenner and Hamill tipped over once they were airborne, becoming ungainly free-floating mobiles. Both preferred their ice capades...
...Attorney Glistrup had attracted scores of wealthy clients through his enterprising use of the deductions allowed by Danish law on debt interest. Essentially, he set up a string of 2,716 dummy firms for his clients-bearing such mock names as the Lyngby Umbrella Rental Co. and the RXPQY-240 Co. These paper enterprises could then absorb the paper debts of Glistrup's clientele and pay income taxes at half the rate charged to private persons.

Although shares of other moviemakers such as Columbia and 20th Century-Fox have been shooting up on the strength of box-office hits, Transamerica's stock has hung listlessly in the $13-$16 range. The U.A. executives...
Barring disaster, the Begin-Sadat Christmas meetings could produce an umbrella declaration of principles and perhaps a token arrangement of mutual good will. After that, the Cairo conference already in session could itself be raised to the ministerial level for purposes of negotiating a detailed settlement. Sadat has told TIME (see interview) of his willingness to make his arrangements with Begin, and then inform the other Arab states that he has negotiated a framework in which they too can negotiate. In effect, Sadat is thinking of a separate peace with sequels?leaving the other Arabs to work on their...
