...flourishes in part because much of the area is relatively virgin territory for the rich. "It's no longer pleasant to go to the South of France," sniffs one visitor. "It's so inundated, the pleasure is gone. Life in Southern California revolves around private homes and backyard swimming pools. They've overcasualized; there's almost an absence of tone." Says Helen Boehm, president of the porcelain company that bears her name: "I've been all over the world, and this place has glamour, color and manicure." Boehm (rhymes with dream) saw her very...
...Justices had little in the court's past to guide them. In 1954 they appointed a special counsel when a challenge to the Virgin Islands' lenient divorce laws struck them as halfhearted. And the court has occasionally appointed lawyers for indigent or inadequately represented litigants, as it did in 1963 when Abe Fortas was asked to argue Clarence Gideon's landmark right-to-counsel case.

Soon enough, Agnes' superior, Mother Miriam Ruth (Geraldine...
...Irena is a nice girl. She would remain a virgin, if only she could forget about that nice zookeeper (John Heard). If only he could forget about her-which should be easy, since the cheerful and lovely Annette O'Toole plays his first love. Soon Irena is switching back and forth between cat and human forms, though it must be said that her transformations are more fastidious than her brother's, which feature much smoke and bile...
