...first glance, nearly everything seems wrong. The lips are too thick and the nose is too flat, a porcine little button. For a woman who stands only 5 ft. 5 in., the bust is perhaps too heroic, while the stomach is-well -flabby. Yet somehow all the defective parts work together to make Dyan Cannon Hollywood's newest sex star. "She has the skin touch," explains Producer Mike Frankovich. "It's a vibrant sex that goes over so strongly it sets off most...
...become the specter that terrorizes contemporary Ulster. Sections of Londonderry and Belfast are as desolated as London during the blitz, and the scarred faces of empty, bombed-out buildings are pockmarked from gunfire. Streets are blockaded by ganglia-like stretches of barbed wire and by "antiterrorist ramps"?thick bands of bitumen or concrete nine inches high that force traffic to slow to a crawl. On the red brick walls surrounding vacant lots, the children of Belfast?perhaps the most tragic victims of the war?have scrawled afresh the old slogans of idealism and hatred: "Up the I.R.A." and "Informers...

Nor have dissenters forced the United States...
...Rand has been something of a terror to the American Right for 30 years. A short, thick-voiced, quick-tempered woman, she left Soviet Russia in 1923, made her way to California, found bit roles in movies, married, and began to teach herself to write. Driven by a distaste for communism and a strong desire to be left alone, she finished in 1943 a huge, finely plotted novel about an iconoclastic architect. The book--The Fountainhead--told the story of a man who dynamited a public housing project because officials had altered his design in violation of previous promises. Despite...
