...hell is Rula Lenska?" The question was first asked on the air by Detroit TV News Anchorman Don Lark, then echoed in print by Washington Post Columnist Roger Rosenblatt. She is, as many TV watchers know, a glamorous redhead who appears regularly in commercials for Alberto VO5 hair spray. She tosses her long locks, identifies herself as R-u-ula Lenz-z-zka and speaks of herself as though she were a famous actress. But, as the newscaster asked...
...indefinitely. Reflecting the same market mood, subscriptions to TIME-LIFE Books' series of 20 World War II volumes have passed 780,000 and are still coming in. Meanwhile, a mere list of already available books on the war fills up a dozen type-crammed pages of Books in Print. In light of it all, it is no surprise that Herman Wouk's latest fiction, War and Remembrance, has occupied the bestseller list for 44 weeks, nor that this year's big novel, William Styron's Sophie's Choice, is haunted by echoes of the Holocaust...

...EVEN AS HE drifts, Thompson's perspective is valuable. Although a hundred other publications may cover an event, Thompson's "goddamn gibberish" will give it a flavor and texture that wouldn't otherwise get into print.

But neither will the calculated "uni-tone" of Time magazine or the caution--sometimes necessary but not always illuminating--of "objective" journalism. The Great Shark Hunt ensures that the "bad craziness" that...
DIED. Corinne Griffith, eightyish, star of silent movies (Black Oxen, 1924) and early talkies (Lilies of the Field, 1930); in Santa Monica, Calif. Griffith retired in 1932 to make a fortune in Beverly Hills real estate and to campaign for the repeal of the federal income tax, denying-in print and in divorce court-that she was the same Griffith who once graced the silent screen. "It tends to date one," she sniffed...
