SEVERAL HOURS later, as I pulled the hawg up to a stop alongside Red Square, I felt a twinge of worry that Yupi made it out of the hospital in time for the parade. How could I explain that I had only been joking around--that I had no idea he'd try to dodge me at the last minute, when I was about to swerve. He's probably livid...

...with the sounds of Steppenwolf blaring through his Walkman, Dewitt remounted his self-powered "hawg" in search of the city limits. Unfortunately, Dewitt's depth perception was not as good as it had been and he ended up running into a treacherous fire hydrant and crashing through a plate glass window. The window belonged to a movie theater and, in order to avoid paying reparations, Dewitt quickly mingled among a crowd of film seekers, attentively viewing The Color Of Money (Beacon Hill). Dewitt had seen this movie before and at second look decided he didn't like it. The Color...

...Michael, an English lad (Maxwell Caulfield), falls in love with Stephanie (Michelle Pfeiffer), leader of the T-Birds' hangers-on, the Pink Ladies. Her heart, however, does wheelies for him only when he dresses up as a mysteriously masked motorcyclist, a sort of Lone Ranger on a hawg.

...Monte Walsh. He and Chet (Jack Palance) amble vaguely across Southwestern cattle country, swapping hand-rolled cigarettes and saddle-sore lines that would make a dogie bleat in an guish. Screenwriters Lukas Heller and David Goodman apparently drew their ideas from The Misfits and The Wild Bunch and hawg-tied them with early Zane Grey dialogue. The resulting wrangle is a tale of aging cowpokes in a changing West that ain't worth the price of a good branding iron...

Spinout. Elvis Presley at 31 is really changing his scene. Eleven years of living high on the hawg (his income from films and royalties averages about $6,000,000 a year) has emphatically porked up his appearance. His cheeks are now so plump that he looks like a kid blowing bubble gum-and his mouth is still so squiggly that it looks as if the bubble had burst. What's more, he now sports a glossy something on his summit that adds at least five inches to his altitude and looks like a swatch of hot buttered yak wool...
