...single, he's charming, he has a great job, and he understands the meaning of commitment. NELSON MANDELA just needed to find the right woman. Now he admits he has. South Africa's Sunday Independent reports that the President, 78, and GRACA MACHEL, 50, widow of Samora Machel, former President of Mozambique, are going public with their long-rumored relationship. Machel, recipient of the Africa Prize for Leadership, knows something of commitment herself, but the two have decided not to wed. "I belong to Mozambique," she told Reuters.

Binti has made it clear she won't do interviews. But much is already known about her. She's a young widow (age 8) and has always been special. Raised mostly by humans in San Francisco, she was on loan to Chicago when she had a fling with Abe, the silverback patriarch who was more than six times her age.

...final shot of the gas station marquis, which reads not "Cherbourg" but "Cherbourgeosie". Luckilly, theoretical issues like these cannot weigh down this proudly frothy film. Demy's Cherbourg was nearly lost to this world when the original negatives were damaged and the prints all faded to unintelligablity--his widow and the score's composer Legrand remastered "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" from surviving remnants. How grateful we should all be for the chance to freebase on this pure, unadulterated kitsch, this seven-gun salute to the blonde virgin in a pink frock and matching bow which lives, at some level...
