...does. If Lange initially seems in danger of sinking in Southern quicksand, she soon gains her footing and brings one of Williams' most memorable roles to stunning life. Prancing, preening, snarling from a half-crouch that is alternately seductive and menacing, she is constantly in motion. "Maggie the Cat is alive!" she shrieks, and one has no trouble believing her. If there were still any doubts after her performance in the movie Frances, Lange here serves notice that she is an actress to be reckoned with...
...feel sorry for the foreign athletes," said a South African visitor, Glynnis Crouch. "They're not only competing against the U.S. teams but against the spectators as well. They are being demoralized before they even set foot on the field." But except at the boxing matches, where fighting any American must be a bloodcurdling prospect, few opponents have been blatantly rooted against. When Gymnast Koji Gushiken of Japan edged Peter Vidmar by 25 one-thousandths of a point in the all-around competition, and Gushiken cried the tears of a 27-year-old warrior who had been holding fast with...
...preparations, caused in part by assassination threats, were everywhere evident-and perhaps necessary.

...another Calvin Klein ad, but this time it's for women's underwear, a fact which is nevertheless not immediately apparent since the woman in the photograph bears little clear resemblance to a woman. She is shaped like a woman from the waist up, but apparently has a male crouch. Look all the way through that magazine, however, and you won't find an ad for the name product made by Jockey, called "Jockeys for her." Jockey's ad, which was very quickly discontinued, showed fully dressed women and bore the slogan "look who's wearing Jockeys now!" While...
...cream-colored Alfa-Romeo careered toward the assembled dignitaries as a security man, in a half-crouch, squeezed off shots from his .357 magnum. There were screams. Onlookers scattered. The car slued into a line of coffins, knocking one over, and finally rolled to a halt, after coming within ten feet of French Defense Minister Charles Hernu. The incident last week climaxed an otherwise solemn military funeral at the Toulouse-Francazal airbase for the nine French paratroopers killed in Chad. The grieving brother of one of the dead soldiers had tried to run down the Minister...
