...relaxation, he watches sports on television, collects antiques, reads Russian authors (Maximov, Nekrasov, Sinyavsky) whose works are not published in the Soviet Union. He enjoys the company of fellow exiles, such as Poet Joseph Brodsky and Dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov. He is a tireless Five-F man, in constant pursuit (in no special order) of Fiddles, Food, Females, Friends?and Fodka. He is a shameless flirt, eats like an orchestra, and puts away more booze than a commissar at a convention. "What I remember first about Slava," says Seiji Ozawa, "is lots of drinking.

A one-time social psychologist at the University of Iowa, he borrowed $800 from his father and in 1957 launched a market research firm in Marion, a pleasant suburb of Cedar Rapids, where his wife was able to land a teaching job.

Only the Italian stud Tony, played with magnetic ferocity by Richard Gere, seems remotely human...
Chemistry. A Russian-born professor at the Free University of Brussels, Ilya Prigogine, 60, is a poet of thermodynamics whose work helps explain how life could have come into being on earth in apparent defiance of some of the classic laws of physics. The second law of thermodynamics holds that energy tends to dissipate and that organized systems drift into disorder. But many biological processes, including the ones in which simple acids combine to form complex molecules or in which cells join together to form higher organisms, seem to contradict this rule. Prigogine has provided a method for including biological...
