...December marriage. More like March and April. Bridegroom Shaun Cassidy, who reached stardom early as teeny-bop's biggest rock idol and then moved smoothly into television acting on Sunday night's The Hardy Boys Mysteries, is 21. Bride Ann Pennington, a former Playboy Playmate who models in bouncy commercials for a Los Angeles men's clothing chain, is seven years older. But that gap mattered not to a romance that began 19 months ago when Cassidy spotted Pennington on the Hardy set. Nor to the groom's mother, Actress Shirley Jones, who was on hand...
...ring? Neither von Opel nor any of her seven co-defendants ever said, but the longer her three-week trial went on, the more it became apparent that she was less a pawn than a principal in the plot. Cousin Günter Sachs, himself known mainly as a playboy, blamed von Opel's predicament on an unhappy childhood and a latter-day regimen that included two bottles of vodka daily. So convinced of her guilt were the French judges who heard the case that they doubled the recommended five-year punishment...
...result, since Sanchez abandoned his chores for the slightly less honorable vocation of gossip-monger, is Up and Down with the Rolling Stones, expensive at $17.95 and no bargain at any price. Excerpts have appeared in Playboy and the New York Post, which should tell you something.

Sometimes Kucinich can sound like a stereotyped left-intellectual: in his Playboy interview he drops allusions to 1984, Ghandi, Prometheus Unbound, Salvador Dali and Woody Allen. But Kucinich grew up in a large Catholic family in the inner city. His father is a truck driver who quit school after the ninth grade. As mayor, Kucinich forced business leaders to meet with him at Tony's Diner. He hopes to unite blacks and white ethnics under his banner of "urban populism." It is this vision of "the coalition of the future" that makes Kucinich unique...
...Crimson Arts Weekly was not only disappointing in its content, it was also offensive. For lack of news, the Crimson resorted to advertisement through sex to make articles appealing. The cover displays Hugh Hefner surrounded by several Playboy bunnies; the titles of the top stories run: "The Habit of Balling," "James Bond Reduced to a Prissy Liberalism," and "Hot Damn: Texas Has a Whorehouse." The cover and titles are catchy for their aggressive male sexual connotation. The Crimson seems to believe that it can disregard its female readership with impunity...
