...associations are, and also in which my affections rest. This letter will undoubtedly lose me some friendships, but even if it lost me all of my friendships, but even if it lost me all of my friends and provided me with none, I would still feel compelled to write it. Scott A. Hunt...
...Abbas incident is not likely to inspire news organizations to write fresh guidelines about interviewing terrorists or cutting deals with fugitives. Such rules can never cover all possible contingencies anyway. Nonetheless, greater care should be exercised to ensure that a terrorist does not use the interview simply for his own means. If Correspondent Champ asked tough, probing questions of Abbas--about the murder of Passenger Klinghoffer, for example--the televised excerpts did not reflect it.

...third mystery stars Sidney D. Kirkpatrick, 30, a documentary filmmaker and teacher of writing at California State University, Los Angeles. Vidor's family asked him to put the director's papers in order and write the official biography.

For among the other aliens from Hollywood's outer space are a terminally insecure screenwriter hilariously impersonated by that perfectly assured actor Bob Hoskins; a leading man (Michael Caine) who comes alive only when he puts himself at risk, either by seducing other men's wives or by driving dangerously; a director (Saul Rubinek) whose perfect tastelessness is matched by his impenetrable egocentricity. Obviously Writer-Director Alda has not spent his spare time on television and movie sets on the phone with...
