...sisters Rosensweig have gathered in London for the 54th birthday of the eldest sister, Sara Goode, a London banker. Gorgeous Teitelbaum, a radio talk show host and housewife, is leading the Newton Temple Beth-El Sisterhood on a tour of London. The youngest, Pfeni Rosensweig, is a travel writer just in from Bombay. Also attending the birthday dinner are Sara's rebellious cliche of a daughter Tess, Tess' improbable Lithuanian resistance fighter boyfriend Tom, and Pfeni's bisexual boyfriend Geoffrey. A stuffed shirt Englishperson makes a brief appearance but he is mainly there as contrast to Mervyn, the lovable faux...
Joan McMurtrey gives a very good and very natural performance as Pfeni, who, as Sara puts it, "is on a permanent junior-year-abroad." McMurtrey is properly zany and funny as the madcap youngest sister and even makes her relationship with Geoffrey seem believable. She is less convincing when agonizing over her career but that is partly the fault of Wasserstein, who, as always, shows more interest in people's relationships to each other than in their relationship to their work...
...picture of Gillooly remains fuzzy; he seems to project virtually no identity beyond that of being Harding's on-again-off-again spouse. The youngest of six children, Gillooly is a high school graduate who has been a lifelong resident of the Portland area.

His supervisor, Ron Marcoe, says Gillooly quit. "He started out good, but it deteriorated," says Marcoe. "It happens. It's boring work...
...youngest of four brothers, Collins grew up on a small farm in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. His father, in addition to raising cows and sheep, was a serious musician who collected folk songs and taught at a nearby women's college. His mother, who educated him at home until he was nine, wrote plays, which were performed at a small theater the couple started in an oak grove on their farm. "When Francis was seven," his father recalls, "he wrote a full script for The Wizard of Oz and directed its performance." He played bluegrass and Bach on the pump...
...squad, the Interstate League's youngest team, with an average age of 20, is responding too: halfway through this season, the Penguins have won more games than in all of last year. Says center Alexander Kharlamov, 18: "This is the first time most of us have felt this kind of excitement from the spectators." There may be a more fundamental explanation, however, for the upswing. The players, who on paper are soldiers in the army, this year are being paid up to $12,000 a season. Last year the army never managed to send out any paychecks...
