...research, conducted by a division of the National Institutes of Health, shows that azidothymidine, or AZT, dramatically slows the multiplication of the AIDS virus in people with mild symptoms of the disease, such as diarrhea, thrush (a fungal infection of the mouth), or a chronic rash. Until now, AZT was thought to be effective only in patients with more advanced cases of AIDS. Currently, the drug is the only medication licensed by the Food and Drug Administration as a treatment for the disease...
...even found a perch on the best-seller lists with her children's book The Saga of Baby Divine. But what, these days, becomes a legend most? The one little item that eluded Bette Midler: movie stardom. Her galvanizing turn in The Rose, as a soulful thrush on the high wire of drugs, sex and rock 'n' roll, earned the actress raves and an Oscar nomination and . . . precisely no film offers.

WrestleMania's guest referee is Muhammad Ali; the guest ring announcer is Battlin' Billy Martin; the guest timekeeper, manipulating a tiny silver bell that might have come from King Farouk's dinner table, is Liberace. Pop Thrush Cyndi Lauper is "managing" Wendi Richter ("150 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal") as she attempts to regain her W.W.F. championship belt from zaftig Leilani Kai, managed by former longtime (28 years) women's champ, the Fabulous Moolah. And in the main event, teaming with Hulk Hogan against...
Since late June, Mondale's principal activity has been interviewing a parade of possible running mates invited to his $200,000, Frank Lloyd Wright-style home at the end of a winding private drive off Thrush Lane in suburban North Oaks, Minn. The meetings, now totaling seven, have settled into a routine...
