...Side hangout that was the hottest restaurant on earth during exactly the period when Sam Cohn was the hottest agent. The glorious moment for a certain cliquishly upper-middle-brow Manhattan high life -- back when Saturday Night Live and Vanity Fair were brand new, back before AIDS and Soon-Yi -- has passed...
Woody's claim to custody of five-year-old Satchel, their biological son, as well as their adopted daughter Dylan, 7, and son Moses, 15, was shadowed by his admitted affair with Soon-Yi Farrow Previn, now 22, adopted daughter of Mia and her second husband, composer Andre Previn. While acknowledging at last that "perhaps this was wrong, not wise," Allen still professed some bewilderment at the furor this liaison has caused. "At the very outset," he testified, "it didn't occur to me that this would be anything but a private thing." And the Polaroid photographs he took...
...Woody-Mia affair is only a confusing series of scenes. Last week child-abuse investigators at Yale-New Haven Hospital, enlisted by Connecticut state prosecutors, presented their findings on Farrow's allegations that Allen molested their seven-year-old daughter Dylan.

Evidence that cannibalism was not only practiced but condoned and even encouraged by some Communist Party officials emerged last week with the arrival in the U.S. of Zheng Yi, a dissident novelist who has been on Beijing's most wanted list since the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Zheng, now 45, spent three years hiding in China before escaping to Hong Kong nine months ago. On the run as a fugitive, he managed to recover a number of the secret government reports that he had collected over the years. He used them to document two books, which he and his wife...
...thing to realize now is that Allen wrote this movie long before he says he was involved with Soon-Yi. The thing that moviegoers will realize decades hence is that Husbands and Wives is a damn fine film. Here again he is X- raying the gnarled psyches of Manhattan's glamourati: Gabe and Judy and their best friends Jack (Sydney Pollack) and Sally (Judy Davis). Each is in some stage of a mid-love crisis; each married partner is given the chance to follow a flirtation to climax or catastrophe. Typically, Allen deals himself the highest cards. Gabe alone...
