...second time in front of Wishman's camera. Despite the fact that Wishman has said Chesty Morgan was the hardest person she ever worked with on a film, she made "Double Agent" because Chesty's first film, "Deadly Weapons" did quite well. In "Deadly Weapons," Chesty plays the widow of a gangster who seeks revenge on the murder ring who killed her husband. After having sex with the men, she smothers them between her breasts. Like her first film, "Double Agent 73" does not let us forget (as if it would be possible) that Chesty is just that. She plays...
...case of Helen Brach was legend in Chicago. She had $20 million, and the last time anyone saw her was Feb. 17, 1977. She was 65 and had been a widow since 1970, when her husband, Frank, co-founder of the candy company E.J. Brach & Sons, died at the age of 79.

...some of the most interesting music around. Frente!'s debut, Marvin the Album, offers up incongruously ear-caressing melodies on harsh subjects ranging from El Salvador to manic depression. Hole's Live Through This features primal guitar riffs and high-IQ lyrics by Courtney Love (rocker Kurt Cobain's widow). Arrested Development's brand-new CD, Zingalamaduni, is smart, political hip-hop (one song deals with abortion). Says lead rapper Speech: "It's important to get men and women expressing themselves about issues together." Steve Yegelwel of Atlantic/Seed Records, a label with several coed bands, says the phenomenon...
Life has many quirks," Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is fond of saying. One of the strangest for Farrakhan was sharing a stage last week in Baltimore with a number of African Americans who usually steer clear of him, including Jesse Jackson and Malcolm X's widow Betty Shabazz, who has declared her belief that Farrakhan played a role in her husband's assassination three decades ago. But the person who stirred the most controversy by sitting at Farrakhan's elbow was the man who invited him: Benjamin Chavis, the chief executive of the National Association for the Advancement...
