...slouching in a cafe chair, his socks sagging over broken shoelaces, his shirt open to the waist, his arms dangling to the floor, where his knuckles drag. A Gauloise rests in his gibbon lips and its smoke meanders from his attractively broken, Z-shaped nose.-See SHOW BUSINESS, Breathless...

Since then he has played all kinds of roles-an inspiring priest in Leon Morin, Pretre, an introverted teacher in Two Women-but he has become the No. 1 box office draw in France be cause the indelible Breathless image lingers on. He feels that he does not resemble that public image of himself-or so he says over cognac and smoke, slouching in a cafe chair, his socks sagging over broken shoelaces, his shirt open to the waist, arms dangling to the floor, where his knuckles...

Actually, Republicans can expect little by way of breathless oratory from him. His delivery is cool, crisp and unemotional, whether on the political stump or talking to a group of his fellow Baptist laymen on the subject of "The Erosion of the Lordship of Christ in the Protestant Church." But Hatfield will give convention voice to the far reaches of the western U.S. And no one doubts that the welltailored, button-down...
