...Jekyll-and-Hyde-like transformation from well-mannered writer to party animal and back again has led some to wonder which is the real McGuane. Both and neither, answers McGuane, who is irked by the fact that his wild and crazy days have taken on "a kind of monster reality" in the press. "During that period I was supposed to be living in the street, I also wrote ten movies, a novel and about 25 pieces of journalism," he says with annoyance. "Even in the flamboyant period of the '70s, I would say 85% of my waking time was spent...
...most remarkable attainment is that the premise and structure, which sound inordinately egghead when described, are easy to grasp in performance. The action begins with the detective (James Naughton), a rumpled knight of the tenderloin who lives by a code of honor in a world of thugs and well-heeled thieves. Moments later the story shifts to the office (coyly labeled a "cell") where his creator labors as a hireling of a movie tycoon more crass, smug and fascinatingly awful than any envisioned by Nathanael West.

In San Francisco gay activists smeared handprints in paint and hung posters depicting sex acts in the Cathedral...

Such questions as how far Germany should extend and whether there should be an independent Poland provoked heated debate and considerable bloodshed well into the 20th century. Now they have been settled. At issue this year is not the location of Europe's borders but simply whether Communist or democratic governments should exercise power within them...
Although most running backs taper off at 30, Okoye will probably endure well beyond that benchmark because of his late start. "Christian hasn't taken the usual hammering through high school and college, and although he's 28, he has the football body of a 22-year-old," says his Azusa track mentor Terry Franson. Now negotiating for a new contract to replace his expiring, $150,000- a-year deal with the Chiefs, Okoye stands to get a handsome raise. But the fans' adulation has not yet gone to his head. Cho-Cho still wears his Azusa cap, emblazoned with...
