...63rd birthday surrounded by three grandchildren at Disney World in Florida, mesmerized by the fantasies conjured up in the Magic Kingdom. For the past six months, Yelena Bonner has been nurtured by her family and awed by the wonders of the U.S. She has soaked up sun in the Virgin Islands, seen Cats on Broadway and stayed up all night with her 85-year-old mother Ruth, leafing through the pages of an old family photo album. Nonetheless, says Alexei Semyonov, a son from her previous marriage, "she never really could relax. Her future in the Soviet Union was continually...
...graceful, two-masted vessel, just back from a 15-month European tour, had anchored briefly at the U.S. Virgin Island port of St. John, and was sailing north toward Baltimore on May 14 when the weather turned nasty. The twelve crew members shortened sail to handle the heavy winds. Suddenly, recalled First Mate John Flanagan, "a wall of wind and water" smashed into the Pride with devastating force.

Anywhere else, this would be a show on its own. One would expect such material to dominate any exhibition it appeared in. But here Durer has competition from an artist not nearly so well known outside Germany as himself: the sculptor...
...Taylor murder and its accoutrements of drugs and sex led to the creation of the Hays Office and its puritanical Production Code. For nearly 30 years, Hollywood films were forbidden to show even a married couple making love or to allow the use of words like pregnant or virgin. The careers of Normand and Minter were ruined, but nobody was ever prosecuted for the Taylor murder...
