"If I tried to be a vamp and manufacture sexiness, I'd really be funny," she says. "Anything that's forced comes over fake...
...Lifted Eyebrow. Buckley is everywhere in evidence these days. He writes a thrice-weekly column, "On the Right," that is carried by 205 papers. If an editor decides he needs a conservative for proper balance on the editorial page, he turns to Buckley. "He makes other conservative columnists look like guys with grey hair and dandruff," says Atlanta Journal Editor Jack Spalding.

Their world of raucous flea-bitten theatrics seems...

And while most of the Expo sculpture executed in the 1960s would not raise an eyebrow at Venice or in a far-out Manhattan gallery, it is provoking plenty of conversation in Montreal, where many fairgoers are receiving their initiation into the nuances of contemporary art (see color pages opposite...
