Bette Davis was in four movies (Dark Victory, Juarez, The Old Maid and The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex), as were Claudette Colbert (Drums Along the Mohawk, Midnight, It's a Wonderful World and Zaza) and Mickey Rooney (Huckleberry Finn, Babes in Arms and two movies in his enormously successful Andy Hardy series). Rooney, incidentally, was No. 1 at the box office that year. Greta Garbo laughed, as the ads triumphantly proclaimed, in Ninotchka; Ingrid Bergman made her American debut in Intermezzo; Marlene Dietrich saved her flagging career with Destry Rides Again; the Marx Brothers clowned...
...slayings. This year has started out even worse: 93 killings as of Saturday, vs. 55 at the same point a year ago. To stop the slaughter, the D.C. city council voted last week to impose a 90-day curfew on children under 18.

...controversy, and attendant celebrity, he has often seemed to crave -- yet with a cruel vengeance. For years Rushdie has been one of Britain's most vocal polemicists, an agent provocateur who has delighted in mixing it up -- even if "it" means politics and literature. His first great novel, Midnight's Children, about India, was successfully challenged by the Prime Minister of India; his second, Shame, about Pakistan, was banned in Pakistan; now the last in his unofficial trilogy, about both India and England, has been banned in India and burned in England. As one who was born into the Islamic...
