Suzanne Vale (Meryl Streep) is a drug- addicted actress whose mother, Doris Mann (Shirley MacLaine), was a big musical comedy star with a drinking problem and whose singer-father walked out when Suzanne was a child.

Salve et vale Marty Wishnatsky; he gave us the hot licks that kept us dancing back in 1962-1963, and that's the way we classmates remember him. Laurence O. McKinney...
...Against C.W. Post in bland Green-vale, N.Y., Kramer led Harvard to a 12-10 victory by netting five tallies, including the first goal in Harvard's dramatic comeback. The senior rifle followed suit last Saturday against the Big Red, again leading the team with four goals...
