1983. The stock market hit an all-time high. Mortgage rates peaked.
The number of working mothers skyrocketed. Which was no sur-
prise because so did the birth rate.
It was the year Ma Bell finally cut the apron strings. And the year
Americans spent an incredible three billion dollars on health spas.
Obviously, things were changing. You were changing. Becoming
more aware of your physical well-being. Of the nutritional values of
the foods you ate. Aiid the value they gave you for your dollar.
So it was up to us to continue providing you with timely, more
imaginative foods. Foods that better met your changing needs.
Foods more in keeping with your changing lifestyle.
It was no small task, but we got cooking. Apparently, you liked

J a n e Pauley
I miss the presence of Jane Pauley
(PEOPLE, Dec. 5) in my living room
each morning, and I'm eagerly await-
ing her return to the Today show. She
epitomizes the down-to-earth, hard-
working woman of our time.

Finally an interview with a celebrity
who doesn't suffer from an overinflat-
ed sense of the importance of her
pregnancy to the rest of the world. Af-
ter listening to several of these moth-
ers-to-be in the limelight, I was begin-
ning to think that these women were
only conceiving in order to serve as
role models. How refreshing to read "I
just want to have kids." No words of
advice, no exercise regimen. I wish Ms.
Pauley and her husband beautiful,
healthy babies.

Father Ken Myers
Your story on Father Myers and the or-
phanage he started in El Salvador
touched me, and I would love to make
even one of those 180 children smile. I
have always lived in a warm and loving
environment, one in which I never had
to worry or be afraid. I want to share
some of that happiness with these chil-
dren who are less fortunate. You said
they need clothes, shoes and toys.
Please print an address to which I can
send a contribution.
Cara Sue Leonardi
Peekskill, N.Y.
Gifts of money are more useful to the
children in Father Myers' orphanage
than toys or clothing. Shipping is diffi-
cult and expensive; it sometimes costs
more to mail a toy to El Salvador than
the toy cost to buy. Checks can be
mailed to: COAR, c/o Rev. Ken Myers,
1031 Superior Ave., Cleveland, Ohio
44114—ED.
I was moved by your article on the or-
phanage in El Salvador. By contrast,
the money that President Reagan in-
sists on sending to the military govern-
ment of that country, it seems, is only
serving to fill Father Myers' orphanage
with still more homeless children who
have lost their parents.

Cliff Robertson
Let's lift a glass to actor Cliff Robert-
son for what his act of courage has
meant to fellow performers. He stood
up and was counted for all of us. And in
any time, especially ours, if that's "tak-
ing care of No. 1," then Cliff has added
new meaning to the language.
John P. Connell
VP, Screen Actors Guild
New York City
Ralph Nelson's description of Cliff
Robertson was accurate in one aspect
only—there are "two Cliff Robert-
sons"—the one he worked with, and
the one I worked with. The man I
worked with was always on time, or
early. When things went wrong, he usu-
ally blamed himself. They don't make
them like that anymore.
Bob Fosse

I'm green with envy. Dina Merrill has
everything. Good looks, money and

ain't fair.

Mary Tyler M o o r e
After reporting the happy event of
Mary Tyler Moore's wedding, why was
it necessary to add all the negative
comments? Your insinuation that MTM
married a younger man to "even the
score" with her former husband was
laughable. What does age have to
do with her new-found happiness?
PEOPLE, why couldn't you have just
wished Mary well?
Linda Garrett
St. Paul
Since Mary Tyler Moore, Olivia New-
ton-John, Linda Ronstadt and Carly Si-
mon are taking all the men my age,
should I start hanging around high
schools to find a boyfriend? Is it illegal
to marry a minor?
Kimberle McAfee
Iowa City, Iowa
Why is it that when some old duffer
runs off with a bimbo half his age no
one bats an eye; yet when a woman
marries a younger man seemingly ra-
tional adults find the whole thing ap-
palling? And if Ms. Moore has many
other "close chums" like those
you quoted, God help her. What's
wrong with her husband talking about
medicine, which is his profession? And
where is it written that looks are any
criterion of a person's worth? Many
women would be thrilled with a 30-
year-old cardiologist—even if he
looked like Jabba the Hutt. Forget
walking on the moon. When we finally
decide to respect the right of everyone
to make his own best choice, whether
in politics, religion or love, then we
will truly have taken a giant step for
mankind.

T o d d Bridges
It is 120 years since Lincoln issued the
Emancipation Proclamation, but a
prosperous young man such as Todd
Bridges of Diff'rent Strokes is still de-
nied the simple decency that white
people such as myself take for grant-
ed. What is it that people are so afraid
of? After all, white people are the ma-
jority and hold all the aces. No one in
this land can be free until we all are.
Meanwhile, Todd, hang in there. You
have more friends than you know.

Thanks for your article on Duran Duran
which showed that they aren't just five
pretty guys playing pansy pop music,
but five real people who are serious

My mother buys your magazine every
week, and your article on Culture Club
actually got her to like the group. A
miracle! I knew, since we all respect
PEOPLE, that she would at least con-
sider Duran Duran if they caught your
interest. Now at least she doesn't
moan in distaste when she walks into
my room. In fact, I think she ogles my
DD posters—all 25 of them. Thanks.

V T RODNEY DANGERFIELD
Frank Capra's 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life gets
respect "this year and every year." The sad-sack
comic wore out his videocassette of that classic.
On TV, he prefers boxing because "I'm supporting
two fighters: my wife and her mother." As for rec-
ords, Rappin' Rodney shamelessly cites Billy Joel's
Tell Her About It. "The fact that I'm in the video has
plenty to do with it," he admits. R.D. also says Robert
Ludlum's 1982 novel The Parsifal Mosaic is still his
favorite. That Ludlum is a Connecticut neighbor of
Dangerf ield's has plenty to do with that, too.
V T BETTY FRIEDAN
The women's-movement mover found Gandhi
"really marvelous" but thought The Day After made
for a better "political event" than TV movie. Friedan
was also "outraged" that the six-member post-
movie panel failed to include a woman. As for
books, she enjoyed the sci-fi classic A Canticle for
leibowitz by Walter Miller Jr. about a post-nuclear
war society—"It's 20 years old and really devastat-
ing to read now." While Friedan enjoyed the Char-
iots of Fire sound track, she confesses, "Who
knows from records? My record player is broken."
VT JOETHEISMANN
The favorite TV program of the nation's First Quar-
terback and chief Cowboy tormentor is not set in
PICKS PANS
CELEBRITY CHOICE
Dallas; it is Dynasty. "I watch it because I am in-
trigued with the characters," says the Washington
Redskins' star. "And John James [who plays Jeff
Colby] is a good friend." As a moviegoer, Theis-
mann sneaked back to 1982's £ T for his rave, and
the record play he called most often was Lionel
Richie. Joe likes reading Eric Van Lustbader's mar-
tial-arts novels, where everyone kicks, gouges and
otherwise behaves like defensive linemen.
V T JAMIE LEE CURTIS
Even though nobody swung an ax in Terms of En-
dearment, the horror-movie princess calls it "the
most completely satisfying movie I have seen."
Throughout the film Jamie held hands with mom
Janet Leigh. "We laughed and cried together," Cur-
tis says. Her favorite book was Alice Walker's The
Color Purple. At the top of her record heap is Proof
Through the Night by T-Bone Burnett, and on the
tube, she was glued to Masterpiece Theatre's se-
ries Pictures. The hooker in Trading Places identi-
fied with one of Pictures' major characters—a
"brassy broad with a brassy Cockney accent."
T ? ED BRADLEY
Other than his own 60 Minutes, Bradley consistently
catches only one TV show a week: Hill Street Blues.
On the big screen, he was warmed by The Big Chill.
Of the alienated teen flick Purple Haze, he says, "I
walked out." He delighted in William Least Heat
Moon's literary travelogue Blue Highways. "He ex-
plored and talked to a lot of people," says Bradley.
"That's what I do." John le Carre's The Little Drum-
mer Girl disappointed him. "It introduced all these
great characters and then followed with 100 pages
of nothingness." The music-loving newsman's spe-
cial album is Jimmy Buffett's One Particular Har-
bour. But then Bradley occasionally plays tambou-
rine with Buffett's band.
M JACLYN SMITH
Smith adored Gandhi and was glued to The Winds
of Warminiseries. (WofWstar David Dukes plays
Jackie's husband, William Fairfax, in CBS's upcom-
ing George Washington miniseries.) Smith is nothing
if not loyal. She starred in Sidney Sheldon's Rage of
Angels on TV, and calls Sheldon's Master of the
Game her No. 1 book. Long a Christopher Cross
fan, she picks his Another Page as a favorite song.
V4 RICKY SCHRODER
The 13-year-old star of Silver Spoons has nary a
critical word for anyone. He knows what he likes,
though. Michael Jackson's Thriller is his hot album,
"great for playing at a party." Hart to Hart ranks
tops on TV; "it has adventure, mystery and excite-
ment," Ricky says. He bucks the critics' notices, ap-
Continued

plauding the movie The Outsiders because "it ap-
peals to kids growing up today." Schroder doesn't
read much, but when he does it's Jack London.
V T MARIETTE HARTLEY
Among 1983 movies, says James Garner's side-
kick, "The hands-down winner is Krull. "The best
book? Teddy Bear's Picnic by John Bratton. Her
top album: Thriller by Michael Jackson. She's torn
on TV between The Smurfs cartoon show and Su-
per Friends. Having said all this, Hartley adds,
"Would you say my children [son Sean, 8, and
daughter Justine, 5] run my life?" Yes. Hartley's only
gripe also involves her offspring. She's against MTV.
"If you like your kids exposed to murder, hangings
and beatings, then MTV is fine," she says. "I don't."
Vf KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR
The basketball star proves a gentle giant when it
comes to criticism. Among books, he favors 1965's
The Autobiography of Malcolm X— "It had a pro-
found effect on my life." He names Herbie Han-
cock's jazz LP Empyrean Isles, featuring trumpeter
Freddie Hubbard, as "one of the finest ever." Ab-
dul-Jabbar's TV preference is a sometimes-rerun
series, Harry-O. "I'm a fan of Anthony Zerbe [a reg-
ular on the detective show] and I enjoy whodunits,"
Kareem says. His taste for the mysterious carries
over into movies, especially The Maltese Falcon:
"That it was about a private eye appealed to
me, probably because my father was a cop."
T ? JOHN LITHGOW
The actor plays a shy, Iowa banker in Terms of En-
dearment and, modesty aside, Terms happens to
be his favorite '83 movie. He loathes films like the
teenage titillater Private School, which "seem to be
made by market research." On his bookshelf is Al-
ice Walker's The Color Purple ("It made me cry"),
but no body-beautiful how-tos. "They ushered in an

for Barbra Streisand's "lovable, endearing and real"

Coppola's black-and-white Rumble Fish: "If I pay $5
to see a movie, I want color." As for Matt Dillon, the
actress says: "He was the same as always; he got
stabbed and acted like a jerk." NBC's Kennedy
miniseries was a rave, but Bernhard calls ABC's
The Day After "a cartoon statement of what it's like
to go through a holocaust." For music, she prefers

 Ronald Reagan

NO WAY TO
MAKE IT EASY
The close of 1983 saw a man of stern stuff in the Oval Office, but the tug-of-war
with Moscow and events in Grenada and Lebanon have darkened the President's
usually amiable mien. When Patricia Ryan, PEOPLE'S managing editor, and
Garry Clifford, the magazine's Washington Bureau chief, interviewed him
Dec. 6, some 48 hours after U.S. Navy jets bombed Syrian antiaircraft nests in
the mountains east of Beirut, they found the White House atmosphere tense and
the President somber. He showed a bit more gray, but no less determination.

In the last several weeks you've been
awakened with news of world crises.
How do you get the reports? Does Mrs.
Reagan get up with you?
No. I try to slip out without her. It's
usually the bedside phone that rings.
When we were in Augusta that week-
end, there were two such crises. Bud
McFarlane [the National Security Ad-
viser] called asking if I could come out
to the living room and meet with the
Secretary of State [about Grenada].
So I whispered to Nancy that I was just
going out for a bit, hoping she'd go
back to sleep. At the time of the Leba-
non incident, one of the stewards just
tiptoed in and touched me on the
shoulder and whispered to me, and I
slid out and did the same thing again.
How do you think the American people
feel about committing troops to a mili-
tary action?
The hardest thing in all my life is
committing these splendid young men
and women to tasks where you know
there is that threat. I've never been
so proud of anything as I have been of
the Armed Forces. A few years ago ev-
eryone said the volunteer military
wouldn't work. Well, it is working.
And there is a pride among them that
just puts a lump in my throat. With
a horrible incident such as the one
in Lebanon, there just is no way to
make that easy.
And Grenada?
The press and many political figures
immediately jumped to the conclusion
that the rescue mission was some kind
of a warlike thing that everyone would
be angry at. It was interesting to see so
E WHITE HOUSE
many of them try to crawl back from
the end of the stick when they found
out that the American people under-
stood very well what we were doing,
and supported it.
Even your political godfather, Sen. Barry
Gold water, is calling for the boys to
come home from Beirut. How far are you
willing to commit troops, to escalate?
It isn't a case of whether we will es-
calate. That is up to the Syrians and to
some of those rebel groups who are
fighting the Lebanese military; we
have only fired back when we have
been attacked. And I am hopeful that
after this last exchange, the Syrians
will decide that they don't want to go
on that path. We are going to try for a
political solution.
Do you see a day when President Assad
of Syria could become a friend of the
U.S. like Anwar Sadat?
I don't see any reason why not.
We've made great progress with the
more moderate Arab states. I think
that they are very ready for a negotiat-
ed settlement, building on the Camp
David accords and the U.N. resolu-
tions. Right now, Syria is the big kid,
and the bad one, on the block.
How would you assess The Day After?
Any motion picture or drama or play
isn't successful unless it involves an
emotional experience, whether it is
hating or crying or laughter. Certainly
there was an emotional response to
this horror film, but apparently it has
not had a lasting impact. My own reac-
tion to it was, "Look, if this can add to
what we've been saying, that there
A week before Thanksgiving, the President accepted a Grade A gobbler from the

who recounted atrocities by Soviet troops in their villages.

Ronald Reagan
must not be a nuclear war, then maybe
the people will understand why we are
trying so desperately to get a reduc-
tion in those weapons worldwide." I
hope that the other side will see the
common sense in eliminating them to-
tally. Not since the late '40s has there
been such a suggestion, and that was
made by this country. Even then, when
we were really the only ones with a
stock of such weapons, the Soviet
Union refused.
If Yuri Andropov had been watching the
film with you that night, would you have
said that very thing to him?
Yes.
And anything else ?
Yes, I would have told him that the
only way there can be a war is if they
start it. We're not going to start a war.
Do you have second thoughts about
calling the USSR the "EvilEmpire"?
No. I think that it was high time that
we got some realism and got people
thinking. For too long we have viewed
them as a mirror image of ourselves
and thought maybe we could appeal to
their good nature, saying, well, if we
unilaterally disarm, maybe they'll see
that we're nice people, too, and maybe
they'll disarm. Well, they didn't.
So you see them as a source of evil?
Yes. They believe they must support
uprisings wherever they take place
in the world to bring about a world
Communist state. As a matter of fact,
every Soviet leader up to Andropov—
and he hasn't had time yet—has pub-
licly restated his commitment to world
conquest.
In the Jerusalem Post you were quoted
as saying that this generation may see
Armageddon, that a lot of biblical
prophecies are being played out today.
Do you really believe that?
I've never said that publicly. I've
talked here with my own people
because theologians, quite a while
ago, were telling me that never
before has there been a time when
so many prophecies were coming to-
gether. There have been times in the
past when we thought the end of the
world was coming, but never anything
like this.
You've mused about this?
Not to the extent of throwing up
my hands and saying, "Well, it's all
over." No, I think whenever that time
comes, the generation that is here will
have to go on doing what they believe
is right.
Do you think about dying?
You can't help but be conscious of it
because the security measures are so
evident. If you mean do I go around
fearful and look over my shoulder—no.
I have confidence in the security peo-
ple. I had one taste of that.
Is it something you talk about with Mrs.
Reagan or your children ?
No.
It's better left unsaid?
Yes, because I think it was harder for
them when it did happen and much
more difficult, for her especially, to get
over. It is a lot easier to worry about
yourself than someone else. I know
what must go through her mind when I
set out on public appearances. I wish it
didn't have to be.
Does your bulletproof vest hang in the
family quarters?
No, no. And when the agents come

 A HOLLYWOOD SEXPOT
TURNS SERIOUS ACTRESS AND SCORES
A SUCCESS ON HER OWN TERMS
Debra Winger
r \ great star is rarely a great actress.
Garbo, Davis, Hepburn—magnificent
performers all, but all unwilling (or un-
able?) to doff their powerful personas
and simply be another being. But now,
in a sad, funny, wonderful new movie
called Terms of Endearment, a 28-
year-old American actress gives vivid
promise that she may be that special
exception: a star who can actually lose
herself in the parts she plays.
Her name is Debra Winger, and like
many of the great ones she is hardly
a beauty. Her eyes are froggy. Her
mouth drifts vaguely to the southeast.
Her speaking voice sounds like five
pounds of walnuts being cracked
underwater. Yet like a medium, this
young woman can dissolve her bound-
aries in the wild smoke of imagination
and become whoever she wants to be.
"She's a metamorphic actress, this
girl," says Jack Nicholson, one of her
co-stars in Terms. "I think she's a great
actress—a genius."
Winger came to stardom in 1980,
when she slid aboard a mechanical
bronc in Urban Cowboy and stole the
show by rocking her bottom and rolling
her eyes in a parody of slo-mo mastur-
bation. Next she won an Oscar nomina-
tion for brilliantly filling in a blank: the
role of Richard Gere's mill-town doxy
in An Officer and a Gentleman. Finally
in Terms she found a character worthy
of her steel.
Winger is cast as Emma, the down-
to-earth daughter of a hilariously over-
decorated python (Shirley MacLaine)
who truly loves her only child but regu-
larly forgets you're not supposed to
eat the thing you love. Starting out as a
bobby-soxer with a mouth full of brac-
es, Winger winds up about 14 years lat-
er as a gray-faced faculty wife shut up
in a small college town with three won-
derful kids, a limp academic husband
who furtively plays back-seat bingo
with his favorite coeds—and a cancer
that is quietly eating her alive. All the
while, she plays cello to her mother's
trumpet in a subtle, touching love duet,
the year's finest piece of inter-acting;
and at every stage of the story she is
simply and translucently Emma, inhab-
Photograph by ©Paul Jasmin/Visages
iting her character as naturally as red
inhabits a rose.
Seemingly effortless, Winger's work
is in fact achieved by ferocious ef-
fort—she trained for four and a half
months to play two small scenes in
which Emma is pregnant. "For three
months I walked around with pregnan-
cy pads. Every two weeks I added
weights. I slept with the pads. My back
was killing me. I never gave in."
Winger's drive sets up collisions.
She fought continually with Shirley
MacLaine, who fought back. At times
the air was so thick with verbal missiles
that, as director James Brooks remem-
bers wryly, "I got a feeling I wouldn't
notice if they threw up on me." Winger
insists that " a lot of what was mistaken
for tension was two actresses work-
ing." Maybe so. But one eyewitness re-
cently remarked: "They'd better split
the Best Actress award two ways. Oth-
erwise the loser is gonna brain the win-
ner with a little gold-plated statuette."
Winger has always been recklessly
assertive—"wild" is the word she
uses. Growing up as a Jewish princess
in Cleveland and later in Los Angeles,
she was a raving hypochondriac who
woke at night and screamed that she
had cancer until her parents rushed
her to the emergency ward. At 16, she
ran off to a kibbutz and did her basic
training in the Israeli Army. Back home,
she was thrown from a pickup truck
and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage
that temporarily left her paralyzed on
one side and blind in one eye. Lucky to
escape with her life, she decided to do
something with it: act.
When Winger isn't acting, she is fre-
quently acting up. She scorches the
freeways in her BMW and puts plenty
of sizzle in her love affairs. Her current
hot-and-heavy is Robert Kerrey, the
40-year-old Governor of Nebraska. "I
have no plans for marriage," she says,
"but he is absolutely someone impor-
tant in my life." She does have plans to
produce her own pictures. Because
she wants power? "No. I'm interested
in taking power away from them. Then I
just want to sit back and become an
actress again." •

THE AGING LION OF REVOLUTION
IN LATIN AMERICA GETS SAVVY
—AND PULLS IN HIS CLAWS

I t has been 25 years since the bearded

man in olive-drab fatigues marched trium-
phantly into Havana, the "Vivas!" of near-
ly seven million Cubans ringing in his ears.
At 56, Fidel Castro is an aging Marxist
with a paunch, who no longer parties till
dawn nor harangues his people on the na-
tional air waves for eight hours on end.
But elmaximo lider has not mellowed,
only gotten cannier, and perhaps more
realistic. "We cannot export revolution,"
he tells would-be Communists in Latin
American countries. "And you cannot im-
port it. You must foster it."
. To a degree, Castro's new caution was
made mandatory by America's invasion
of Grenada. Handed a quick defeat at the
hands of an overwhelming force, Castro
had to admit publicly that he lacked the
resources to resupply his fighters. More-
over, he conceded, "It's not our option to
be able to" bail out his friends, the Sandi-
nistas in Nicaragua, should America
move against them. Nervous about U.S.
intentions, Suriname ousted 100 Cubans
and Nicaragua expelled 2,100 of the re-
ported 5,000 advisers Castro had there.
But significantly, the leader who encour-
aged the Nicaraguans to make the ten-
sion-lessening move was Castro himself.
It's not that Fidel has lowered his
sights, just his rhetoric. Last summer
even he endorsed the idea of a ban on
amis shipments among all Central Ameri-
can states. Despite a few post-Grenada
broadsides, Castro has left the cold war
of words to Ronald Reagan, who was
seen by many Latins as a bully in Grena-
da. Avoiding the mudslinging has helped
the dictator groom his image as Latin
America's socialist paterfamilias, and it
could improve his relations with the re-
gion's larger and less radical states, like
Venezuela and Colombia. No longer the
firebrand but still, observers say, a dedi-
cated subversive, Castro may have dis-
covered that the safest road to revolution
is moderation. •

 GLASSY OF EYE AND POKER OF FACE,
THIS CHUBBY, ALIEN HORDE MASKS A
PLOT TO TAKE OVER THE PLANET
Earth to K-5! Earth to K-5! Agent 7734
reporting. BLUE ALERT! BLUE ALERT!
Operation Cabbage Patch Kids is out
of control! CONDITION IS CRITICAL!
Request AAA priority review plus re-
vised m.o. Situation summary follows.
PHASE ONE: In Earth Year 1977 a
global cerebro-scan, undertaken on
orders of Committee for Intergalactic
Action (CIA), identified Xavier Roberts,
21, sculpture student in Cleveland, Ga.
(pop. 1578), United States of America
(pop. 234.2 million), as earthling with
optimum mix of ingenuity, greed and
fearless compulsion to be cute. Con-
cept of Cabbage Patch Kids was in-
serted in Roberts' thought forms. Un-
aware of intergalactic control, drone
Roberts rapidly produced a cloth-cov-
ered, soft-sculpture doll in form of
partly melted human baby with zap-
happy eyes and big fat cheeks that lent
it expression of imploring potato.
PHASE TWO: Roberts was pro-
grammed with ingenious scheme to
market the little monsters, each hand-
sewn and hand-painted by local arti-
sans, as live human babies. Strategy:
to make CPKs desirable by making
them unique, troublesome to acquire
and weird looking—just like human ba-
bies. Naming his factory Babyland
General Hospital, Roberts announced
that 1) each CPK was " b o r n " in hospi-
tal's "delivery room," and 2) though it
could not be bought, it might be
"adopted" for fee of $125.
PHASE THREE: Number of adop-
tions grew steadily. By Earth Year
1982, Roberts had fathered more than
250,000 "Little People"—male/fe-
male, white/black/yellow—and hospi-
tal staff had expanded to 150. In 1981,
adoption fee for babies equipped with
mink-lined buntings jumped to $1,000.
PHASE FOUR: Roberts was motivat-
ed to ask giant corporation named Co-
leco to undertake mass reproduc-
tion. Sensing a winner, Coleco agreed
to generate new breed of Little People
at hospitals in Far East. Subcontracts
were let for mass production of CPK
clothes, cosmetics, cribs, strollers,
toys, books, records, etc. Computer-
designed so that no two could turn out
alike, new breed was born with vinyl
(instead of cloth) skin on face, and in
June 1983 was offered to public at
thousands of "adoption centers" all
28 Photograph by Evelyn Floret
over U.S. Adoption rate soon acceler-
ated far beyond predicted norms.
PHASE FIVE: By October 1983, in
words of one human observer, U.S.
was caught up in "epidemic of
idollatry." For last six months of 1983,
adoptions will exceed 2.5 million. Aver-
age parent now adopts three Cabbage
Patch Kids. One woman has taken in
97—at cost of $2,425. Coleco has hired
jetliners to ferry 200,000 CPKs from
Hong Kong to U.S. every week, plus ar-
mored cars to carry them to adoption
centers. Yet all over U.S., centers have
run out of Kids. Frustrated and furious,
public is paying many times usual fee
($25-$30) for black market babies—
when any are available.
WARNING! Shortages of adoptees
may quickly break momentum of Oper-
ation. Either fickle U.S. public will lose
interest in Little People, or attractive
counterfeits, now appearing in large
numbers, will dilute CPKs' share of
market. If this happens, Operation
Cabbage Patch Kids will self-destruct
and CONQUEST OF EARTH MAY BE
INDEFINITELY DELAYED!
ATTENTION! There is one sure way
to prevent disaster. ONE MILLION
GENUINE CABBAGE PATCH KIDS
MUST BE DELIVERED TO ADOPTION
CENTERS BY DEC. 24! Since hospitals
on Earth cannot fulfill this quota, re-
quest High Command to SET UP
EMERGENCY DELIVERY ROOMS IN
OUTER SPACE AND LAND CPKs ON
EARTH AT USUAL SITES!
Wave is rolling! Urge we ride it! Ma-
nia for CPKs already spreading to Ja-
pan and Western Europe. Within six
months, fifth column of 15-to-20 million
Little People may be discreetly insert-
ed in homes all over Earth. At strategic
moment, microscopic seed pods se-
creted in navels of CPKs may be acti-
vated under cover of darkness. In less
than one hour they will grow to full size
and by morning will multiply into inter-
galactic strike force of 500,000 storm
troops, armed and programmed to
take over planet Earth.
REQUEST IMMEDIATE REPLY. Also:
request slight change in plan for dis-
posal of human race. Suggest preser-
vation of small number for breeding
purposes. Though harmful in large
numbers, individuals might make amus-
ing dolls for intergalactic children. •

Jesse Jackson
AN EXPLOSIVE ORATOR'S CAMPAIGN
BREEDS FUSION AND FISSION FOR
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
• olitical analysts have already theo-
rized his candidacy may backfire,
splitting black votes from his party to
ensure a Reagan runaway in 1984. Crit-
ics call him a demagogue with shoddy
organization. Backers call him the man
who would be King's heir apparent—
the most visionary, articulate force
in the pulpits and precincts of black
politics. Tall, handsome, congenial
Democratic presidential contender
the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson may not top
the polls as the long winter march
gets into gear, and he may not be
admired by every other black leader,
but no one at this juncture could
30
dare claim he hasn't got a prayer.
The illegitimate son of a high school
student and her next-door neighbor
(Jesse was later adopted by her hus-
band and raised in Greenville, S.C.),
Jackson, 42, has thus far used his
candidacy to spearhead a grass roots
voter-registration drive among his
"Rainbow Coalition" of blacks, Hispan-
ics, women and other "locked out, op-
pressed" groups. His tireless drive is a
dazzling study in Hellfire & Barnstorm
oratory: "from outhouse to White
House . . . from disgrace to Amazing
Grace . . . from slave ship to champion-
ship." Whether his impact on his party
is divisive or productive, one thing is
beyond dispute: Jackson's on-the-
stump flair can make Mondale look like
Fritz the Catatonic and John Glenn
sound like the the Light Stuff.
A recent appearance before 5,000
at a packed church in a predominantly
black ward in North Houston reveals
Jackson at his masterly best. He
opens with a flurry of political jabs, at-
tacking tax shelters for the rich, wel-
fare for the poor, low black and ethnic
representation in Congress; citing
narrow Reagan victories in 1980 in
states with massive numbers of unreg-
istered blacks, Hispanics and women.

The pace pumps up gradually. "We
can win!" he shouts. "We can win!" A
singer belts out a gospel hymn to a cho-
ral-organ background. A woman lost in
a state of twitching ecstasy is led away
by an unnerved Secret Service agent,
trained to look for guns, not grace.
Jackson's just cranking up. When he
begins a long tale about his grandma,
he hits his stride. His voice comes from
some gravel pit in the vocal cords.
"She has surviiiiiived to 80," he roars,
"always overworked, underpaid,
couldn't read or write, but she's a ge-
nius." "Yeah, yeah," the all-black audi-
ence roars back. "Her eyes are kinda
dim now," he says, "but when she
could see, ohhhhhhh what she saw."
The testifying becomes electrifying.
"What she lost in eyesight she gained in
/nsight," he bellows. The voice grows
louder, richer. "She heard a voice, and
she whispered to me, she said in my
ear, 'Keep on keepin' ooooon.' " His
hands grip the lectern hard. "Ohhhhhh,
when she could seeeeeee."
"Grandma's kinda feeble now,"
he says softly. "She got arthritis in her
fingers and can hardly bend them
sometimes. And when we didn't have
enough grocery money to make ends
meet she could take . . . " He pauses,
rocking sideways like a blues belter,
storing adrenaline for a kick-ass cli-
max. "She could take the mold from
bread and make medicine . . . when
she had hands." "Yes she did. Yes she
did," they all moan together. Hankies
wave and wipe tears; hands clutch to-
gether. Children stare up at him in awe.
"She could take," the voice booms in a
grimaced roar of fury, "a potato and
peel it one day—when she did have
hands. And mash it one day—when
she did have hands." "Yeah, yeah."
"And boil it one day when she did have
hands. And grate it one day. When she
did have hands." "Yeah, yes she did.
Yes she did." "Her hands are kinda
feeble now," he roars, "but ohhhhhh,
when she did have hands."
He pauses for the momentum to
catch up, turn into delirium. "She can't
walk now, but ohhh when she could
walk, she walked all night hummin' the
Lord's song, and she led me down the
Jackson relishes rare time at his Chicago
home, relaxing with the brood: from left,

road and said to me, 'Choose the high
road, never the low road'—when she
could walk. She said, 'Put your hands
in the hands of the Lord, and the Devil
can do no harm.' Ohhh, when she could
walk."
Now the voice is so powerful it
seems not to be coming from within
Jackson but from some other, mightier
presence that fills the cavernous
church. It becomes suddenly clear the
folksy anecdote is also a subliminal
parable of 350 years of black Ameri-
ca—and it hits its mark. "Now I'm
grandma's grandson, and my time has
come. I will never forsake her. I will
take us to a higher ground 'cause I
know rejection. I have known abuse,
persecution. I have known jails, I have
seen the rough side of the mountain.
But I heard the Lord, and I said, 'Lord,
you been so good to me, I'll do what
you say, go where you send me.' " The
bodies are huddled together, standing,
tears rolling. Their one voice of jubi-
lation cannot drown out Jackson's.
"If you want somebody to feed the
hungry, Lord, here am I, send me. If
you want somebody to clothe the na-
ked, here I am, send me. I feel like go-
ing on that journey now. Nothing can
stop us. Our time has come. Here
am I, Lord, here am I, here am I, send
meeeee."
An hour later Jackson is in an air-
tight, plushly cushioned car, driving
back to a hotel, then in an airtight
elevator and quickly ushered into a
soundless hotel suite high over down-
town Houston. The decompression is
alarming. He is weary, solemn but
accessible, whispering orders to aides,
muttering on the phone, changing his
clothes as he works amid near si-
lence. He talks about the "moral imper-
ative" of his run, the "weighty delibera-
tions" with wife Jacqueline and their
five children (ages ranging from 8 to 21)
about the "dangers of inviting the
wrath" of an assassin. "My family is be-
hind me," he says, "but it is a big step. I
have faced the occupational hazard of
violence all through my public career
but it does not preoccupy me."
What helps him through is the " e n -
chanting, romantic" bond with his audi-
ences. "They give me the inspiration. It
is hard to feel fatigue out there, but at
night I do sleep sound."
The campaign takes a toll at home.
"I phone twice a day. I miss 'em. I go
from 5,000 people out there tonight to
nobody in here now. I may not be
alone, but I am lonesome." Prayer and
regular fasts help to sustain "clarity
and focus" on the run. "My personal
discipline is very strong."
So, it seems, is his vision of the mis-
sion for which he feels he has been
chosen. "Charisma is a gift of the spir-
it. Those people tonight weren't re-
sponding to some meteorite. They're
responding to something of substance.
There are charismatic people on the
stage, too, but their charisma is used to
entertain. Mine is to emancipate." •

leader of the burgeoning software in-
dustry. Now 28, Gates is to software
what Edison was to the light bulb—
part innovator, part entrepreneur,
part salesman and full-time genius.
Gates got there by writing truly ele-
gant, bug-free computer programs.
He calls it "slick, tight code." It takes
nerve to write slick, tight code. Some
people never do; others burn out early,
like chess masters who peak out at 30.
Slick, tight code must be intuitive, a
bold leap of microchismo. As a 19-
year-old Harvard dropout, Gates
adapted the computer language BA-
SIC to microprocessors for the first
time—a step that galvanized the in-
dustry and made his Microsoft BASIC
the common lingua franca among
computer users. His MSX software for
home computers is preeminent in Ja-
pan. Not long ago Gates showed exec-
utives at Tandy his rough design for a
small, lap-size computer. The result,
the Radio Shack Model 100, is widely
considered the most exciting comput-
er introduced this year.
Unlike that earlier visionary, Isaac
Newton, Gates did not have an Apple
fall on his head; it was an IBM. Back in
July of 1980, two IBM strategists flew
4,000 miles from Boca Raton, Fla. to
meet Gates in his offices in Bellevue,
Wash., outside Seattle. After pledging
him to secrecy, they dropped a bomb-
shell: IBM was considering building a
personal computer. It had to be out in a
year. Could Gates help them?
Though no outsider had ever worked
so closely with IBM on a computer,
Gates spent a hectic year perfecting
the operating software that controls
the IBM PC. After that success, IBM
again turned to Gates for its PCjr. To-
day Microsoft's operating software is
an industry standard used by an esti-
mated 900,000 personal computers.
William Gates
Software is replacing sex as the real
passion among consenting adults, and
Gates is happy to play matchmaker.
Microsoft is now going directly to con-
sumers with games (Flight Simulator),
business programs (Multiplan), word
processing (Microsoft Word) and a
"windowing" package that allows us-
ers to juggle several programs.
Microsoft is a popular neighbor in
Seattle. It does not pollute down-
stream or give off smoke. Instead, ris-
ing above the blue waters of Lake
Washington is the bracing fragrance
of freshly minted money. Sales have
doubled every year since 1974 (they
should hit $100 million by next June),
and the staff has grown tenfold from 40
in 1980 to 450 today. "I love being at
the center," says Gates, whose favor-
ite prefix is "super," as in "super-
important." He adds: "Software is
driving the industry. And it's fun."
The fun began when Gates, the son
of a prominent Seattle lawyer, was a
seventh grader at private Lakeside
School. The mothers' club bought
computer time on a Digital terminal,
and Bill and another student, Paul
Allen, got hooked. Soon they were
scheduling the school's classes and
had started a business studying traffic
patterns for local communities. Even-
tually he and Allen were contracted by
TRW to help analyze electrical power
requirements around the Northwest
and Canada. "No one knew then we
were just in ninth and 10th grades,"
Gates says. An Eagle Scout, he spent
the summer of 1972 as a congressional
page (where he made a killing buying
5,000 McGovern-Eagleton campaign
buttons for three cents each and then
selling them as collectors' items for
$20.25 apiece after Eagleton was
dumped from the ticket).
Gates entered Harvard, though Allen
was urging that they start a microcom-
puter company. The two already had
spent $360 to buy one of the very first
microcomputer chips. "Paul saw that
the technology was there," Gates
recalls. "He kept saying, 'It's gonna be
too late. We'll miss it.' "
The turning point came when they
Photograph by Dale Wittner
read in Popular Electronics about a
build-it-yourself computer, the Altair,
made by an Albuquerque company
called MITS. "We called up and said,
'Look, would you like a BASIC?' "
Gates remembers. They blithely
claimed they'd already adapted the
language to microcomputers—and
then spent the next three weeks franti-
cally writing a simulated program on a
larger computer. It worked. "MITS
didn't understand the importance of
it," Gates says. "Nobody did. But we
knew that people in schools every-
where would have these computers."
Gates dropped out of Harvard at the
end of his sophomore year in 1975.
Eighteen months later he and Allen
had already made "a few hundred
thousand dollars" for the new Micro-
soft firm. Soon they were writing slick,
tight code for struggling companies
with names like Apple and Commo-
dore. "Bill had a vision," says one of
his head programmers. "It was that mi-
crocomputers will be important, and
that software will be the most impor-
tant part of microcomputers."
Today Gates is chairman of his firm
(Allen is VP of research and develop-
ment) but still might be mistaken for a
stockroom clerk. Like everyone at Mi-
crosoft, where the average age is
26, he dresses in Eddie Bauer casu-
als—a sweater, corduroys— and run-
ning shoes. He drives a Mercedes to
work from his lakefront house in Seat-
tle's Laurelhurst district. On his home
terminal there he can tap out "elec-
tronic mail" memos by the dozen to his
staff. Gates works most nights and
usually one day on weekends.
His biggest managerial problem is
coping with the aftershocks of rapid
expansion. A president he hired
last year lasted only 11 months. Gates
is looking at taking the privately held
company public in a few years, a step
that would finance more growth (as
well as make Gates a zillionaire). "We
want to be to software what IBM is to
hardware," sums up a Microsoft vice-
president. That, as Gates would say, is
the biggest reward for writing slick,
tight code. •

 HE HAS IT ALL AS A LAUREATE
OF STAGE AND SCREEN: SO
NOW WHAT'S HE WANT? ANONYMITY

Sam Shepard
R e c l u s i v e playwright Sam Shepard
has pulled a startling switch. Only J.D.
Salinger signing for a sitcom could top
it. Often teased as the "Masked Man of
the American Theater," Shepard is
suddenly a wide-screen, posterized
movie star playing legendary jet jockey
Chuck Yeager in the American epic
The Right Stuff. Sure, Shepard's done
other films (Days of Heaven, Resurrec-
tion, Raggedy Man), but they fall into
the succes d'estime category, seen by
too few to endanger his cult status.
Now there's another unwelcome
spotlight on Sam, courtesy of his affair
with 1983 Oscar winner Jessica (Toot-
sie) Lange. They met while co-starring
in Frances, and next thing Shepard had
moved out on actress wife O-Lan and
son Jesse Mojo, 14, and moved in with
Lange and her 2-year-old daughter, Al-
exandra (by Mikhail Baryshnikov), on
the actress's six-acre spread outside
Sante Fe. They've just finished a film
about farmers called Country. "Who
knows?" is Sam's best guess about
where the relationship will lead.
At 40, with 40 plays mounted, includ-
ing off-Broadway's current True West
and Fool for Love, Shepard is now the
country's most-produced living play-
wright. Since the 1960s he has been
birthing plays as though he'd over-
dosed on fertility drugs—one of the
few he didn't try during those psyche-
delic days. But don't push him about
his writing ("It's just something you
do"). Dennis Quaid, who plays astro-
naut Gordon Cooper in The Right Stuff,
sees clanking contradictions in the
man. "He can act like a lawn-mower
repairman in some dirt Texas town,"
says Quaid, "and at the same time
spout these brilliant things. He's got his
straight side and his wild side." Right
Stuff director Phil Kaufman describes
Shepard as "shy but dangerous and
tough." He once decked a drunk who
repeatedly provoked him.
Of that reputation and his newfound
celebrity, Shepard says typically, "Why
should I care?" A line from one of his
plays finishes the thought: "I'll develop
my own image. I'm an original man, a
one and only." •

THE CAREER OF AN
'INFALLIBLE' PILOT
ENDS IN THE DEBRIS
OF FLIGHT 007
Chun Byung In
• V o r e a n Air Lines pilot Chun Byung In,
45, was, by all accounts, compulsively
orderly. Immaculately dressed in his
freshly pressed blue uniform, two neat-
ly ironed handkerchiefs folded in his
pockets, the onetime Korean air force
stunt pilot cut an imposing figure on
the international civilian flights he had
commanded flawlessly for 11 years.
"You never saw such a methodical
man as my husband," says his widow,
Kim Ok Hee. "Just about everything
had to be precisely at its proper
place."
But something, somehow, slipped
tragically out of place for Chun on the
night of Aug. 31. In a stunning pre-
dawn catastrophe, Chun's KAL Flight
007 from Anchorage to Seoul was
blasted from the sky by two Soviet mis-
siles after the Boeing 747 strayed more
than 200 miles inside that country's air-
space. The 269 people on board, in-
cluding 61 Americans, were killed. The
lethal attack, grudgingly admitted by
the Soviet Union only after days of de-
nials and obfuscation, etched on the
world's consciousness an indelible im-
age of Soviet brutality and paranoia.
But the question persisted: How had
the jetliner wandered so far off
course? The U.S. and South Korea
have steadfastly denied that Flight 007
was spying on the Soviets, pointing out
that advanced satellite technology
would have made such a mission un-
necessary. Similarly unfounded, ap-
parently, is KAL's charge that the Sovi-
ets had interfered with the jumbo jet's
Inertial Navigation Systems by
means of a remote-control radio bea-
con. On another front, flamboyant San
Francisco attorney Melvin Belli, 76, has
alleged, in a lawsuit filed against KAL
by relatives of more than 50 crash vic-
tims, that, according to his sources,
the airline routinely offered pilots bo-
nuses to take fuel-saving shortcuts
through Soviet airspace. "[Pilot Chun]
was so frightened of flying over Russia
that he was going to quit," says Belli.
The pilot's widow denied these
charges totally, and the International
Civil Aviation Organization, which has
been investigating the "facts and tech-
nical aspects" of the flight, has report-
ed no evidence that Korean Air Lines
ever took shortcuts to save fuel or for
any other reason.
Most aviation experts theorize that
Chun and his crew made a one-digit
mistake in registering their takeoff
point on the liner's computers. An er-

"Here we go again," Chun had said to his
family, as he set out on the first leg of his
fatal trip to the U.S. and back. His plane
was shot down in Soviet airspace about
two hours f r o m Seoul.
149°59.6' would have caused the
plane's independently powered navi-
gational systems to steer the jet on the
fatal path the Russians have claimed it
followed.
Yet Chun's fellow KAL pilots find it
hard to reconcile their knowledge of
the man with this assumption of critical
negligence. "He was the most careful
man I've ever known," says Ahn Sang
Jeon, who flew precisely synchronized
formations with him during Chun's sal-
ad days as a hot-shot flier on the Kore-
an air force's aerobatics team. Chun
was so respected, in fact, that he had
served as a backup captain on three of
President Chun Doo Hwan's state visits
and, ironically, was to have flown the
presidential jet to Burma last Octo-
ber—the flight that took 16 top Korean
officials to their deaths in a terrorist
bomb explosion in Rangoon. Today, in
a grassy park on the southern edges of
Seoul, Chun Byung In's captain's uni-
form and a pair of carefully ironed
handkerchiefs lie in an otherwise un-
occupied tomb—buried there by his
widow as a testament to a man of im-
peccable reputation and habits. •

• l u g e and bronze and menacing, he looks like an evil genie who
has just blasted out of a bottle. His head is a glistening cannonball
topped with a warlike ridge of coarse hair. His naked torso ripples
with enormous muscles beneath festoons of ponderous gold neck-
laces. His eyes are locked in an angry glare, and his big ivory teeth
grind and glitter. "I'm startin' to get maaaaaaaaad," he growls, "and

Comic-strip character? Autoerotic fantasy? Oddjob disguised as
Shazam? No, all those muscles and bangles adorn (are you ready
for this?) a major role model of the rising generation. His moniker is
Mr. T, and as the most popular (and violent) character on the most
popular (and violent) new show on the prime-time tube—a meat-
head version of Mission Impossible known as The A-Team and de-
scribed by one NBC executive as "T-rash"—Mr. T, at 31, is indisput-
ably the show-business Manic of the Year.
"I'm big and black," he brays with glee, "and now I'm becoming
rich and black!" A hot new contract pays him close to $1 million a
year for The A-Team; for a TV guest shot he swaggers away with
more than $45,000; and then there's a bundle coming in from Mr. T
dolls and a new Mr. T cartoon series on NBC.
Success hasn't spoiled Mr. T. "God did it all!" he bellows. "I don't
shout on Sunday and doubt on Monday. The Good Lord is responsi-
ble for it all!" If in fact the Good Lord helped, He helped a man who
sure helped himself. He was born Lawrence Tureaud and raised in
a Chicago ghetto by a God-fearing mother whose husband aban-
doned her with 12 children and an $87-a-month relief check. (T is a
devoted father to his daughter, Lesa, 13, born out of wedlock.) At 22,
he set himself up as "Mr. T, the World's Greatest Bodyguard" for a
celebrity clientele that included Muhammad AN and Michael Jack-
son. Salary: $2,000 a day. Fame came in 1980, when Sylvester Stal-
lone signed Mr. T to play Clubber Lang, the brute who knocked
Rocky's block off in Rocky III, and with it began a mighty struggle be-
tween God and Mammon.
So far God seems to be winning. Mr. T recently gave $10,000 to
Chicago's Cosmopolitan Community Church and can often be found
in a black ghetto, up to his earrings in young admirers, shouting a ser-
mon on the dangers of drugs and violence and the virtues of hard
work and three square prayers a day. Much too busy to examine the
contradiction between what he preaches on the street and practices
on the screen, Mr. T recently completed an action comedy called
D.C. Cab and will soon start shooting a TV movie called The World's
Strongest Man. Last week, at the request of the First Lady, he played
Santa Claus at a press tour of the White House. Yet he dreams of
higher things. "I'm talented and flexible," he says with a faraway ex-
pression. "I could play Hamlet, even though I look like King Kong." •

AN IMPISH AUSSIE DESIGNER AND HIS MAGIC
KEEL HAUL AMERICA'S CUP DOWN UNDER
AFTER 132 YEARS OF U.S. OWNERSHIP

Ben Lexcen
r\her three years of preparation, it
all came down to a spectacular come-
from-behind of a few hundred yards.
By that stretch of deep blue water and
a margin of 41 seconds, the lovely
white-hulled Australia II, whose mys-
tery keel had captured even landlub-
bers' imaginations, sliced across the
finish line on Rhode Island Sound
ahead of Liberty, the America's Cup
defender, thereby ending the longest
winning streak in sports history. After
132 years on U.S. soil, if one can refer
to a glass case in the elitist New York
Yacht Club that way, the "auld mug"
would be going abroad for the first
time. Yet the man most responsible for
that wasn't even on board Australia II
when the sleek upstart crossed the
line. Ben Lexcen, its gruff 47-year-old
designer, was watching from a tender
when his revolutionary boat won the
race and, most salts now agree,
changed ocean racing forever.
When Australia //was hoisted out of
the water five hours after that deciding
seventh encounter last September,
non-Aussies got their first look at the
invention Lexcen had until then kept
shrouded in plastic when it wasn't in
the ocean. They saw a squat keel that
seemed to be upside down and had
"winglets" flaring off the bottom.
Looking back on the whole heated
summer, during which competitors of
several nations fought him on legal
ground as well as on the sea, and even
sent divers to photograph his keel un-
derwater, Lexcen now says he never
doubted the technical supremacy of
his creation.
Having been proved on water, Lex-

•abeling her "overrated," one critic
smacked Joan Rivers with perhaps the
ultimate insult: "Everything she
says about herself is true." Elizabeth
Taylor, after five years of taking
it on the double chins, finally fought
back: "The woman looks like a circus
clown." And if Jerry Falwell, inexplica-
bly, became a fan this year (he told her
he "adores" her), most of the Moral
Majority did not. After Rivers said
"goddamn" and joked about herpes
and AIDS on the Emmy Awards show,
NBC received thousands of angry
phone calls.
Still, Rivers doesn't take nearly as
much as she dishes out. In her late 40s,
she has become America's premier
comedienne by raising insult to a con-
troversial art form. Arguing "I'm really
a very sensitive person; I only go after
the ones who are big enough to take
it," she abuses everyone: Bo Derek
("so dumb she studies for a Pap test"),
Sophia Loren ("an old tramp from
Joan Rivers
World War I I . . . . I threw a Hershey bar
into her dressing room and she laid
down") and Willie Nelson ("he wears a
Roach Motel around his neck").
Lately Rivers has even begun zap-
ping stars a mere arm's length away on
the Tonight Show, where she gives
new meaning to the label cutup. She
shocked Victoria Principal by insist-
ing Principal was once engaged to
Andy Gibb ("I saw that cheesy ring"),
questioned the heterosexuality of
Boy George and, by hinting that his
marriage was in trouble, made Tony
(Taxi) Danza look as if he wanted to
punch her.
But if she risks driving potential
guests away (Taylor and Richard Bur-
ton have refused to go on with her),
viewers seem to have the opposite re-
action. Her shows some nights outrate
Carson's, which is why she was recent-
ly made his sole substitute (and could
eventually succeed him). Her What Be-
comes a Semi-Legend Most is a hit LP
Photograph by Harry Benson
and she is on the road performing be-
fore SRO crowds 40 weeks a year.
Rivers' rise signals nothing less than
a wholesale change in the public's
sense of humor. As she figures it, "I am
telling the truth in a very angry age.
People in this country don't like any-
one anymore. And I succeed by saying
what everyone else is thinking."
For Rivers recognition was a long
time coming. She defied her upper-
class Jewish parents to "starve" as a
Greenwich Village comic before Car-
son discovered her, announcing on the
air in 1965, "You're going to be a star."
Now that she is, Rivers presides over
a Beverly Hills "mini-Versailles," home
to second husband Edgar Rosenberg,
53, daughter Melissa, 15, and a flock of
servants. One of them recently took a
call from Rivers' first husband, Bond's
clothing store heir James Sanger
whom she hasn't seen in more than 20
years. The message? "Tell Joan that
I'm proud." •

 High School Principal
EDUCATION TAKES A
CRITICAL BATTERING, BUT THIS MAN
RUNS HIS SCHOOL WITH PRIDE
l o r defenders of America's embat-
tled public school systems, the news
was bad but not unexpected. A report
last May by the National Commission
on Excellence in Education told them
what they already knew: that teachers
are poorly trained and underpaid, that
courses are all too often undemanding
and frivolous, and that schools are
pumping out students woefully defi-
cient in language and writing skills. But
the situation is not universally grim.
According to a Carnegie Foundation
report published last fall, our founder-
ing educational system is beginning to
show signs of reform, and a small but
encouraging number of high schools
are pulling away from the pack in their
race to excel. The key in every in-
stance is leadership—a principal who
won't let his school be less than the
best.
A case in point is John F. Kennedy
High School in the Bronx, New York. A
concrete fortress housing nearly 5,000
students, of whom half are Hispanic
and 30 percent black, Kennedy is the
fief of Principal Robert Mastruzzi, a
cheerleading extrovert who believes
the prerequisite to educational excel-
lence is convincing kids to believe in
their school. "Our philosophy is that
these kids are entitled to the very
best," he says. "I tell the staff the most
important thing is not what they know
about calculus or physics, but that they
convey to each kid that he is impor-
tant. If kids feel they are in an environ-
ment where people care about them,
they will come. And once you have
control over a student body that wants
to be there, it's easy to implement sol-
id educational programs."
Attendance is an obsession with
Mastruzzi, and he lures students with
whatever incentives he can. Each
month homerooms with the best atten-
dance records are rewarded with Big
Mac certificates donated by McDon-
ald's. Peer pressure is also employed.
Students who habitually cut classes
are assigned guardian angels—reha-
bilitated truants who try to steer them
50
back onto the straight and narrow.
"When one kid sees the other kid fail-
ing, he gets on his case," explains
Mastruzzi, 56, a former physical educa-
tion instructor. "If a kid feels he is slid-
ing, he has somebody to go to." Atten-
dance at Kennedy averages 80 per-
cent, far above other New York schools
with a high proportion of minority
students.
Mastruzzi's problems are common
to countless urban schools: deteriorat-
ing facilities, overcrowded classrooms,
uninspired students from troubled
families. Kennedy offers a yearlong
minischool for potential dropouts and
has succeeded in moving most of them
back into the mainstream. But the Ken-
nedy neighborhood is infested with
gangs, and Mastruzzi doesn't hesitate
to crack down when he has to. "If a kid
we feel is salvageable gets into trou-
ble, we will bring every resource into
play," he says. "But I will not tolerate
weapons, drugs, assaults or any
bum who cannot conform." He con-
cludes bluntly: "Every kid cannot be
saved."
The Bronx-born son of a shoe fac-
tory worker, Mastruzzi is a graduate of
New York University. He is married to
an elementary school teacher and has
a 25-year-old daughter. Though he
earns a salary of $55,000 after 33 years
as a teacher or principal, his school re-
ceives less than $40,000 a year for new
school expenses, including supplies
and equipment. Of necessity, he has
become a master of improvisation. "I
subscribe to the theory that you can-
not run a school effectively without
breaking at least one rule a day," he
says. "I don't even want to ask whether
it's legal to sell soda and pretzels on
campus to subsidize the school news-
paper. I really don't care because it's They could do nothing, however, about

Pinchpenny resources aside, Mas-
truzzi has concluded after 12 years in
the principal's office that it's the intan-
gibles that make Kennedy work. "It's
one of the few schools that retains
what was fairly common years ago—
tradition and spirit," he says. "I love

 Eddie Murphy
IT'S NO JOKE: HE
MAKES FOLKS MAD, BUT
HE'S GOT IT MADE
eing Eddie Murphy means never
having to say you're bored. Earlier
in the year he couldn't walk down
the street without a bodyguard. For
his most recent public appear-
ance—a smashing success, by any-
one's standards—even a police
guard was not enough. While Mur-
phy was autographing copies of his
new album, Eddie Murphy: Comedi-
an (and the back of an occasiona
well-filled blouse) in a record store
in the posh Georgetown section of
Washington, D.C., some 2,000
fans were trying to push their way
inside. In their bubbly pubescent ea-
gerness, they managed to push a
cop inside—right through a plate-
glass window. Ah, the heady perks
of superstardom!
Enough to give pause, one would
think, even to the most immodest of
quadruple-threat millionaires (TV,
movies, records, concerts). Not Ed-
die Murphy, who's been through a
lot lately. "What kind of a year has it
been?" the 22-year-old sassmaster
mused recently. "Well, I did two
movies—48 Hrs. and Trading
Places. I did the Grammys, the Os-
cars, the Emmys. I did a concert
tour. I did a season of Saturday
Night Live. I made a five-movie
deal with Paramount for $15 m
lion. And I formed my own pro-
duction company." About the
only thing he doesn't do is win-
dows—and his fans seem
more than willing to take
care of that little detail.
This is not to suggest that
1983 was perfect for Mur-
phy. Now that he's one of
the bigs, he's starting to
hear the digs about the
size of his hat. In a rebuttal of sorts,
he invokes the sacred name of
Johnny Carson—"Carson said that
you don't change, the people
around you do. It's true."
Okay. That's his opinion. The
facts are: He's black, he's bad, his
bankbook is beautiful, he talks
dirty—and we just can't get enough
of him. What's the story?
According to a theory advanced
by SNL executive producer Dick
Ebersol, his eyes have it. Whatever
Murphy's doing—beating up a bar
full of white trash in 48 Hrs. or, in his
raunchy HBO special, dumping on
everyone from Stevie Wonder to the
ate Elvis Presley—he gets away
with it because of the smile that's
always dancing in those big browns.
After all, who else would you pay
actual money to just to hear him tell
you to get f-worded?
Not that he sometimes isn't actu-
ally sincere with the get-f-worded
expression. In fact, he's about to tell
television to get f-worded.
That's right. After this SNL sea-
son, no more boob tube. "I'm retir-
ng from TV at 22," he said in a re-
cent interview. "Never again. No
weeklies or specials. I may pop up
on a talk show now and then. I don't
like feeling restricted. There are
things I can't do on TV. Back when
this show started, if someone told
me I had to do something I didn't
want to, they would say, f— you,
you have to. I don't have to put up
with bulls— anymore. I want to do
my concerts and albums and mov-
es. I want to do my stuff." He's not
bragging. No smile in his eye. He
means it. No more bored, never
no more. •

 Matthew Broderick
I he best thing to be in Hollywood
these days is one of the boys. In 1983
the new kids in town staged an unex-
pected coup that threatened the long-
standing Redford/Beatty/Reynolds
regime. It was a good year for such
charter members of the brat pack as
Sean Penn and Tom Cruise, but none
in that crowd can claim the double
whammy of mild-mannered New York-
er Matthew Broderick, just 21. His per-
formance as America's cutest com-
puter nerd made the summer smash
WarGames eminently palatable (if not
quite plausible). And playing Neil Si-
mon's teenage alter ego in the stage
comedy Brighton Beach Memoirs—his
Broadway debut—brought him a Tony
award. With only a few credits Broder-
ick has already fashioned a distinctive
OH, TO BE YOUNG AND HOT IN HOLLYWOOD,
YET INSTEAD OF ACTING UP THE
LEADER OF THE PACK IS BUTTONED-DOWN
persona: His characters are shotgun
marriages of street smarts and inno-
cence, mischief and morality.
Like his colleagues, Matthew is ful-
filling his teenage fantasies while bare-
ly out of his teens. For his upcoming
film role as an impish thief in the medi-
eval adventure Ladyhawke, he was
paid a reported $750,000 and chauf-
feured around Italy for four months.
But success spoilage hasn't set in. "I'm
not gonna go crazy and buy five Rolls-
Royces," says Matthew. He still lives in
his mom's Greenwich Village apart-
ment and dates UCLA coed Valerie
O'Brien, who was an extra on War-
Games. He's the son of late actor
James (Family) Broderick, who died of
cancer the day after Matthew began
rehearsing for Brighton Beach. That
loss colors the young actor's perspec-
tive. Of his newly acquired fortune, he
says, "The nice thing about the money
is knowing that if anybody in my family
gets sick, I can take care of them."
Finished with Ladyhawke, Broderick
returns next month to Brighton Beach.
For him the stage has been the thing
ever since he appeared in a high
school production of A Midsummer
Night's Dream. "It was the first thing I
felt sort of confident at," he recalls. "I
felt—I don't know—I impressed my-
self." Whether in a school play or Holly-
wood movie, Matthew has the same
concern. "I don't want to embarrass
myself in front of people," he says. "I
worry about that endlessly." Judging
from his work, worrying is just one of
the things Broderick does well. D
Barbara McClintock
arbara McClintock, 81, studies he-
redity in corn plants. She does so with
a passionate intensity, working sev-
en days a week, often 16 hours at a
stretch. On the day last October when
she won the Nobel Prize in medicine,
studying her beloved maize was all she
really wanted to do. But the phone
kept ringing, reporters kept pestering.
Finally the reclusive cytogeneticist—
even the Nobel Prize committee has
called her "a loner"—held a press
conference in her Cold Spring Harbor,
Long Island lab.
Yes, she said, the prize was a great
honor. "But you don't need the pub-
lic recognition," she added in a whis-
per. "You just need the respect of your
colleagues."
She has had firsthand experience of
that need for respect. In fact, when she
first published the research that was to
win her the Nobel, she was so far ahead
of her peers, she recalled, that "they
called me crazy. Absolutely mad."
At the time, the early '50s, scientists
thought that chromosomes were like
strands of pearls, with the genes—the
basic units of heredity—fixed perma-
nently in place. McClintock discovered
that genes could actually "jump,"
changing their position and the way
they functioned. This breakthrough
was accomplished the old-fashioned
way: patient crossbreeding and ob-
servation. The implications are vast.
Jumping genes might play a role in a
variety of diseases, including cancer.
The daughter of a physician, McClin-
tock was born in Hartford, Conn, and
raised mostly in Brooklyn and small
towns in Massachusetts. She received
her Ph.D. in botany from Cornell in
1927 and taught at various colleges un-
til 1941, when she joined the Carnegie
Institution's department of genetics in
Cold Spring Harbor.
McClintock works alone and lives
alone—she has never married—in an
apartment that's a short walk from her
laboratory. Apparently the late recog-
nition of her work does not bother her.
Of her Nobel she's said, "It might seem
unfair to reward a person for having so
much pleasure over the years." •

 Harvey Fierstein

I t ' s a Dickensian Christmas this year

for American gays, the best of times
and the worst of times. The dread dis-
ease AIDS continues to ravage the
homosexual community. Yet there is
a renewed spirit of gay pride and a
heightened public awareness of gay
problems, thanks in significant mea-
sure to a voluble playwright and actor
named Harvey Fierstein.
Even by Broadway standards, the
sometimes campy, sometimes deadly
serious Fierstein, 29, is a creature of
surprises. He wrote and for 20 months
starred in Torch Song Trilogy, a 3-hour
40-minute art-imitates-life saga about
a drag queen's rites of passage to do-
mesticity as the parent of an adopted
gay teenager (Fierstein himself worked
as a drag queen on his 11-year route
from Brooklyn to Broadway). Torch
Song won Fierstein two Tony awards
last spring, one for best actor and the
other for best play. It also paved the
way for the next Harvey happening, La
Cage aux Folles, a tender Jerry Her-
man musical directed by Arthur Lau-
rents, which just happens to be about
the woes of an aging drag queen and
his devoted lover on the Cote d'Azur.
Fierstein wrote the book for the
splashy show (based on a Paris play
and not, he says, on the hit movie of
the same name) and gave La Cage its
surprisingly sentimental core. "Critics
expected freaktime," says Fierstein.
"They wanted to see bitchy drag
queens and ugly people they could sit
and laugh at and feel superior to. But
that's not the way I see homosexuals."
His more universal and upbeat view
of homosexuality is presented to
theater audiences as a two-part les-
son. "Torch Song deals with the issue
of a man who is fighting his homosex-
uality," explains Harvey. "La Cage
goes a hell of a lot further. It expres-
ses the attitude that homosexuality is
normal."
Whatever the permutations under
discussion, the language is anything
but raunchy and is often saccharine
enough to bring a few critical slams.

Harvey romps with La Cago aux Folios'

lovely chorus, the Cagelles. The only real
woman is on the far left.

"Look, we were writing a 5 million

"We didn't want it to be offensive.
We wanted it to be universal."
Fierstein, who gets two percent of
the gross of La Cage (about $9,000 a
week) and seven percent of Torch
Song (about $8,000 a week), proved
that gay is bankable. "Now that Torch
Song is the No. 1 straight play on
Broadway and La Cage is the No. 1 mu-
sical, I hear daily of gay projects being
resurrected," says Fierstein.
Someday there may even be a gay
sitcom on television. NBC was all set to
buy Fierstein's idea for a series about
a New York homosexual. But Harvey
put off the project for at least a year
because of other commitments, in-
cluding plans to star in the London
Torch Song and maybe even the mov-
ie. Once the series premieres, Fier-
stein hopes it will be educational as
well as funny. "Many people don't know
what a homosexual is," says Harvey.
"They think he's a creature who has
sex a lot. They don't even consider
that a homosexual has the same sexual
problems a heterosexual does—impo-
tence, uptightness, performance anxi-
ety, everything except birth control."
By widening awareness, Fjerstein
may also accomplish another of his
goals: helping gays to adopt children.
"We have love. We have money. If we
could adopt kids and give them homes,
we could close down every orphanage
in America," he says.
Harvey wouldn't mind becoming an
adoptive papa himself someday, but
he has other priorities. He is enjoying
the blush of domestic bliss in his new
Brooklyn apartment. His lover of a
year, an actor-writer from Texas, lives
in Queens. "When we walk down the
street holding hands, people look at
us," he reports. "Sometimes, I think to
myself how much easier it would have
been to be straight."
The thought passes quickly, espe-
cially now that Fierstein is being touted
as the great gay hope. "I'm no dope. I
know the glow doesn't last," he says,
trying to be philosophical. But isn't it
nice to be the toast of Broadway, even
for a moment? "I'm not the toast," Har-
vey demurs. "I'm the jam." •

THE GRAND BOLD MAN OF ARCHITECTURE
COMES FULL CIRCLE, DESIGNING THE
DOWNFALL OF HIS OWN GLASS BOX
Philip Johnson
His signature glasses—
he hasn't changed styles
in 50 years—conceal a
tiny hearing aid these
days, and most nights he's
in bed by 10. But at 77 Phil-
ip Johnson has lost neither
the spunk nor the acerbic
wit that has made him
architecture's grand old
man—while remaining its
perennial enfant terrible.
Architects are "just as
jealous and small-minded
as sopranos," he admits, The AT&T model shows students at the University
and the lecturer in him can its "Chippendale" top.
rarely resist the chance to
sound oft. "Hearing an audience re-
act," he says, "rouses me more than
sex or liquor."
Still, Johnson, who was architec-
ture's bad boy far longer than he has
been its elder statesman, figures the
main reason for the acclaim is that
"I have outlived the competition." In
truth, it is ingenuity, not mere longev-
ity, that has made him urban America's
chief form giver. In his eighth decade,
Johnson stopped building the un-
adorned glass boxes that, since his
1932 exhibition of the International
Style at Manhattan's Museum of Mod-
ern Art, had defined the 20th century's
most popular architectural form. Call-
ing his earlier handiwork "wrong, sim-
ply wrong," he turned instead to build-
ings lavishly decorated with details
culled from architecture's past. The
most prominent is his firm's New York
headquarters for AT&T, a $200 million,
pink granite-sheathed skyscraper
topped off with a classical broken ped-
iment reminiscent of the top of a Chip-
pendale highboy.
When plans for the building were un-
veiled in 1978, one critic called it "the
world's tallest grandfather clock." But
now, as the building nears completion,
it is becoming one of the most admired
on the New York skyline. More impor-
tant, it has emerged as the symbol of a
new architecture labeled "post-mod-

ernism" because it rejects
modernism's glass boxes.
With his partner, John Bur-
gee, 50, Johnson, the guru
of the movement, is cur-
rently working on 10 build-
ings, each worth more
than $100 million. One re-
sembles a Gothic cathe-
dral, another a Dutch re-
naissance town hall.
Not everyone applauds.
Some observers label his
work a "pastiche," and
of Houston are protesting
his plans for their archi-
tecture building, which even Johnson
admits he copied from an 18th-century
French designer. "What's wrong with
copying?" asks Johnson archly. Then
he mockingly announces, "I guess I
can't be a great architect. Great archi-
tects have a recognizable style. But if
every building I did were the same," he
adds, "it would be pretty boring."
Johnson has never been that. The
son of a wealthy Midwestern lawyer,
he took seven years to graduate from
Harvard, then traveled the world and
dabbled in fascist politics before be-
coming an architect at 40. Though he
gradually won prestigious commis-
sions, his earliest client was himself. In
1949 he built, on a32-acre hillside in
Connecticut, his famous Glass House,
a simple rectangle in which he still
spends every weekend. Weekdays, he
lives in a small apartment with a pan-
oramic view including AT&T, his Muse-
um of Modern Art sculpture garden
and his most famous "modern" sky-
scraper (designed with Mies van der
Rohe), the Seagram Building.
It's not a view he totally enjoys. Like
a movie star who winces at seeing him-
self on-screen, Johnson says, "There's
no worse feeling than seeing my build-
ings and realizing the mistakes." But
instead of being regretful, Johnson
says, "I just make sure my next build-
ing is better." •
The architect stands in the oculus of the
split pediment that tops AT&T. The open-
ing will function as a steam vent.

A THORNY CROWN GOES WITH
THE JOB OF BEING THE FIRST
BLACK MISS AMERICA
E v e r y Miss America is an overnight
sensation in the way that Hollywood
stars seldom are. But no Miss America
until the current one, Vanessa Wil-
liams, 20, has had quite so brutal a
morning after.
The feature-page press corps has a
yellowed sheaf of ready questions for
new beauty queens: What's your def-
inition of the perfect man? What's your
favorite color? But for the first black
Miss America, out came the buzz saw
quiz. Don't you think American society
is racist? Would you consider becom-
ing Jesse Jackson's running mate?
Somewhat stunned, she answered,
and felt the heat. Yes, she supported a
woman's right to have an abortion.
Down came the Moral Majority. No, she
did not feel discriminated against.
Down came her fellow blacks. Taking a
breather at home in suburban Mill-
wood, N.Y. four weeks after the pag-
eant, she recalls thinking, " 'How can I
win?' I never imagined I'd be that de-
pressed about being Miss America. If I
hadn't been home at the time, if my
parents hadn't said, 'You made this
commitment and you have to go
on. . . .' Well, I never would have given
it up, but I was hitting rock bottom."
In fact, Vanessa Williams was per-
ceived not simply as Miss America but
as an emblem of social change—not
Miss America at all, in that sense, but
Miss New America, embodiment of a
kind of collective national redemption.
Wisely, she objected. "People are
reading too much into it," she says.
Photographs by Christopher Little
Vanessa Williams
Her symbolism, however, has cut both
ways. One letter writer in California
threatened to throw acid in her face
because she is black. Armed guards
accompanied her when she appeared
on TV's Hour Magazine, and during
that visit to Los Angeles she was virtu-
ally confined to her room.
Every Miss America's life is a frantic
tear through hotels and airports to a
blur of shopping malls, and except for
a pageant-appointed companion she is
alone on the road. But Vanessa, de-
spite the added burden of being a sym-
bol and a target, has gone about her
appointed rounds (She'll cover 20,000
miles and visit 200 cities, from San
Juan to Anchorage) as gamely as any
of her predecessors—overbooked,
chronically exhausted, with every eye-
lash and smile line in place. She has
been obliged to sing to taped music in
the aisles of Higbee's department
store in Cleveland and to help demon-
strate corsage making at a Corpus
Christi grocery store, but she has re-
frained from coming unglued, at least
in public. "There's no way to explain
the year," she says. "Even if you say to
people how hectic it is, how tiring, they
can't comprehend it unless they've ac-
tually lived it."
The job isn't quite as dismal as it
sounds. She will earn an estimated
$130,000 for her appearances, and her
special celebrity has brought her more
than the usual number of offers for re-
cording contracts, Broadway shows
and movies. For the woman whose big-
gest role pre-Miss America was Miss
Turnstiles in a high school production
of On the Town, it is a heady prospect.
"I think about how all the things I want-
ed to do in life will happen later," she
says. "My life is basically on hold for
this year."
In the course of what must pass for
her life until next September, she has
rubbed shoulders with President Rea-
gan, former Presidents Gerald Ford
and Jimmy Carter, designers Halston
and Calvin Klein and the cast of Happy
Days. Says Vanessa: "It's still hard for
me to think that Henry Winkler is excit-
ed to meet me and wants my auto-
graph." Of course, alas for her, the
Fonz is far from alone. When Vanessa
tried on a dress at Macy's in Fresno,
one woman tried to get a glimpse of
her by peeping through the slats of the
dressing room door. "You can't sneak
her into anywhere," said Midge Ste-
venson, one of Williams' ever-present
traveling companions. "She's always
recognized."
But then come the moments—in-
creasingly rare, increasingly pre-
cious—when Vanessa Williams be-
comes merely human again. "Aren't
you Miss Universe?" asked a woman
who spotted Vanessa at a Los Angeles
restaurant. "No," she replied, not stop-
ping to explain. Watching the woman
walk away with that perplexed but-I'm-
sure-l-know-you look on her face, Miss
America, a redeeming sense of humor
still somehow intact, broke into a
laugh. •

 Richard Chamberlain
HE GETS NO AWARDS FROM HIS PEERS,
BUT THE PUBLIC HAILS
THE KING OF THE MINISERIES
I n a year stocked with stinkers like Princess Daisy, The Thorn Birds not
only drew the highest rating of any TV miniseries of the '80s but estab-
lished Richard Chamberlain as the king of the genre. With Centennial
(1978) and the smash Shogun (1980) behind him, Chamberlain cinched the
title—and hypnotized his fans—with his portrayal of a priest tortured by
lust for a comely Australian lass played by Rachel Ward. About 110 million
viewers tuned to ABC in March for at least part of the tempestuous 10-
hour series, and its star was jubilant at reaching such a throng. "I was very
hyped up," he recalls. "I felt the energy of all those millions of people
watching me on TV."
Learning that his work had earned a third Emmy nomination in eight
years was another high—albeit a briefer one. Tommy Lee Jones {The Ex-
ecutioner's Song) was to beat out Chamberlain. But he was a good sport,
declaring, "Awards—good grief, they're not even the icing, they're a can-
dle on the cake. You can't be in this business for awards." Still, the loss
stung. When Jones' name was announced, Chamberlain admits, "it was
like preparing for opening night and they decided to cancel the perfor-
mance. It's like careening into this black pit."
Disappointment aside—with all his Emmy nominations, he has never
won—Chamberlain, at 48, has had more hits than misses in his career.
Fame struck at 26, when he became TV's young Dr. Kildare. After five
years in the series, he shook off the pretty-boy stigma of that role by mov-
ing to England, where he studied drama for three years. Lauded there for
his portrayal of Hamlet, he returned to the States in an acclaimed produc-
tion of Richard II and bolstered his credibility with the general public in
movies like The Last Wave.
Television, of course, is still his staple: Last week Chamberlain was set
to appear as explorer Dr. Frederick Cook in the two-hour CBS movie
Cook and Peary: The Race to the Pole. In the course of the six-week
shoot, he learned why those two explorers found the Arctic so alluring: "It
must have been like walking into God's house," he says.
Now back in his Japanese-style home in Beverly Hills, Chamberlain is
weighing more wide-ranging projects: a film, another miniseries, a play
and a four-hour television romance. "I've been looking for a good love
story," he reports.
A confirmed bachelor, he claims that loneliness is not a problem. "I
have a lot of wonderful friends," he says. "This is a very heavily populated
time in my life." One of these days, surely, there'll be a welcome newcom-
er among those friends. Call her Emmy. •

 THANKS TO A THRILLER ALBUM, THE
FORMER SMALL FRY OF THE JACKSONS
BECOMES THE BIGGEST STAR IN POP MUSIC

Michael Jackson
H e fills a stage with catamount
grace, whirling through his numbers
like a well-seasoned song-and-dance
man. And that, of course, is just what
25-year-old Michael Jackson is. A per-
former since the age of 5, when he be-
gan fronting his family's now famous
brother act, he has been strutting to-
ward the top of the pop music world for
two decades.
This year Jackson arrived. His high-
octane Thriller album spawned a rec-
ord six Top 10 singles and has so far
sold more than 20 million LPs world-
wide, second only to Saturday Night
Fever. While his high-stepping videos
to the singles Beat It, Billie Jean and
Say Say Say were getting saturation
play on MTV, Jackson took the form
one step further with a $1.1 million,
14-minute film to accompany his Thrill-
er title song. Starring Jackson and
1980 Playboy playmate Ola Ray as high
school sweethearts in a mock monster
movie, it played on MTV for several
weeks and premiered in movie the-
aters last month, in time to qualify for
a 1984 short-subject Oscar.
Yet for all his public exposure, Jack-
son remains an intensely private per-
son, reclusive as Garbo. A Jehovah's
Witness, he neither smokes nor drinks,
is a strict vegetarian and fasts one day
each week. "He's so pure it's scary,"
says Ray. "He's a space person." Ech-
oes Quincy Jones, Jackson's produc-
er: "Sometimes I think Michael is from
another planet."
In 1984 he will cross much of this
one when he joins his brothers on a
major tour. Promoted by hyperverbose
boxing entrepreneur Don King and
sponsored—to the tune of at least $5
million—by Pepsi-Cola, the tour is slat-
ed to begin in May, hit as many as 50
American cities, move on to Europe
and make more noise than any inva-
sion since D day. In other words, a tour
not unlike the performer himself. Out
of this world. •

 Rei Kawakubo
JAPAN'S STRAVINSKY OF FASHION
ROCKS THE WEST WITH HER ATONAL,
ASYMMETRIC SAD RAGS
I n fashion, it was the year of the Japa-
nese. And no one in that ultrasensitive
land, where every stitch can set off an
earthquake, rattled more sake cups
than Rei Kawakubo—not even her tal-
ented compatriots Issey Miyake and
Yohji Yamamoto. From Paris to Tokyo
her followers are striding about in
Kawakubo's mournful, strangely cut
garments, black socks and rubber
shoes. Rei's critics hold the 41-year-
old designer responsible for perpetrat-
ing a formless, asexual look. "Her
clothes don't touch or mold the body,"
complains traditionalist French design-
er Sonia Rykiel. "There's a lack of soft-
ness." But Rei's supporters credit her
with some of the most startling and in-
fluential designs out of Japan today.
"Rei is an original," says Bendel Vice-
President Jean Rosenberg. "She is a
master of intricate cuts."
Kawakubo, the most radical of the
new wave of Japanese designers, pro-
nounces Western skintight garments
"quite boring," adding, "I design for
women who are beyond that." What
sort of woman? "The bag lady of New
York," Kawakubo replied fliply when
asked by Women's Wear Daily.
Rei's now historic advance on the
West took place only two years ago.
Her first show in Paris caused one of
the biggest furors since Stravinsky in-
troduced The Rite of Spring. Like Stra-
vinsky, Rei coolly mocked conven-
tions—shredding and poking holes in
skirts, tops and dresses. In the U.S.,
where her clothes still baffle the unini-
tiated eye, Rei's success is growing
rapidly. She now has outposts in nine
U.S. cities, with her own boutique in
Manhattan's breathlessly fashionable
SoHo district.
In a corner of her stark office in Tokyo, Kawakubo surveys some cre-
ations from her latest collection. From left, hooded top ($250) and
skirt ($195); crinkled cotton dress ($275) and charcoal black dresses
($325 and $350).
74
If Kawakubo is oblique when it
comes to discussing her work, the tiny
(5'1") designer is positively opaque
when it comes to her personal life.
Where did she grow up? "In Tokyo."
What did her parents do? "Nothing
special." What kind of clothes interest-
ed her as a child? "I don't remember."
And so on.
It Is known that Rei was the only
daughter of an educator. She receiv-
ed a fine arts degree from Tokyo's
prestigious Keio University in 1964.
She worked as a stylist after graduat-
ing, and in 1973 she started her own
company, Comme des Garcons
(French for Like the Boys). Rei is char-
acteristically vague when it comes to
explaining why she chose that name,
but what's in a name? Begin with the
$30 million plus in sales Comme des
Garcons is expected to pull in this
year.
Profits, Rei insists, are not foremost
in her mind. Maybe; maybe not. One
thing is certain. Kawakubo, who is
unmarried and lives alone, has clearly
dedicated herself to shattering fashion
icons. Now that the rest of the world is
into holes and tears, Rei is moving on.
At her spring-summer show in Tokyo
last month, unsmiling models with a
white streak on one cheek marched
down the runway in garments dripping
with gathers. And while the collection
was Rei's most formfitting to date, it
was also the most asymmetrical, with
uneven hems and sleeves. Once again
Kawakubo is upsetting the status quo.
"I am in my own world," says the rev-
olutionary of Japanese fashion. "Any
person creating something wants to do
better and better. I'm never satisfied.
There's no end." •

 The artful forger
who for a while
bamboozled the
"experts" chews
meditatively on the
tool of his trade.
A NAZI-OBSESSED AMATEUR FORGER
FAKES THE FUHRER'S DIARIES AND
NEARLY FOOLS THE WORLD
I t was almost—but not quite—one of
those overnight literary success sto-
ries that keeps aspiring authors bang-
ing away at their typewriters. For more
than three years Konrad Kujau (pro-
nounced coo-yeow), 45, an obscure
military relics dealer in Stuttgart, West
Germany, obsessively spent his nights
laboring over an epic historical work
set in the Nazi era—a kind of docu-
drama written in diary form. After
much painstaking research he labori-
ously wrote his masterpiece longhand.
The work eventually grew to fill 60
bulky imitation leather-bound volumes.
"It was a maddening task," he recalls.
"To write one single page in the diary, I
sometimes had to read nine books and
dozens of articles."
Last April, though, Kujau saw his ef-
76
forts rewarded. Stern, West Germany's
largest weekly newsmagazine, pub-
lished excerpts from his volumes, at-
tracting unprecedented international
attention—and controversy. Kujau
was paid about $1 million (estimates
vary widely) for his magnum opus, but
his success was short-lived. Within
weeks of his triumph in Stern, he found
himself in a jail cell, accused of fraud.
That charge arose from his somewhat
misleading choice of a pen name—
Adolf Hitler.
Kujau's bogus Hitler diaries were so
skillfully penned that he managed to
fool Hugh Trevor-Roper, the eminent
Cambridge historian, who declared
that "the documents are authentic."
Trevor-Roper's imprimatur sent pub-
lishers from around the world—includ-
Konrad Kujau
ing The Sunday Times of London and
Paris Match—scurrying to buy reprint
rights. Then the bubble burst. West
German government officials who test-
ed the diaries' paper, ink and bindings
revealed them to be "grotesque, su-
perficial" forgeries.
When his hoax collapsed Kujau sur-
rendered to West German police,
claiming that he was merely a middle-
man who bought the diaries from East
Germans and sold them to a top Stern
reporter, Gerd Heidemann, 52. After
their arrests the two soon fell to squab-
bling. Kujau changed his story, admit-
ting he wrote the diaries but claiming
that Heidemann knew they were forg-
eries. Perhaps the truth will emerge at
Kujau's trial next summer.

to embellish his local reputation as an
eccentric who enjoyed swaggering
into Stuttgart nightclubs clad in an SS
uniform, regaling acquaintances with
"inside" stories of the Hitler circle,
and spending thousands of marks on
champagne and women. Kujau, in fact,
claims he agreed to sell Heidemann

made him an offer he couldn't re-
fuse—the gift of one of Luftwaffe chief
Hermann Gbring's ornate outfits, com-
pleting Kujau's collection of uniforms
worn by top Nazi officials, including Hit-

military relics, and he is fascinated by
the Nazi big shots." says Kujau's law-

Kujau has made his attorney's work
infinitely more difficult by continuing
his literary career in his jail cell. First
he wrote a series of articles for the
sensationalist West German daily Bild
(which paid him $45,000), admitting his
guilt in the forgery and detailing exact-
ly how he did it. Then he continued
writing the diaries, completing the vol-
ume that ends with the Fuhrer's 1945
suicide. "The war is lost," Kujau's Hit-
ler scribbles, as Russian troops close

LETTERS TO GOD
ARE POSTMARKED
WITH A PULITZER

Alice Walker
S h e did not even know that Pulitzer
Prizes were awarded for fiction. But if
Alice Walker was not aware of them,
the three-member jury that selected
her for the prize was certainly aware of
her. Last April they announced that
Walker's extraordinary third novel, The
Color Purple, had won the award, mak-
ing her the first black woman novelist
ever so honored. A rare success both
commercially (over 25 weeks on the
New York Times best-seller list) as well
as critically (the novel also won the
American Book Award), Purple has
propelled Walker, 39, into the front
rank of American writers. "It places
her," said The Nation, "in the company
of Faulkner."
The recognition comes only after Al-
ice had toiled 15 years in relative ob-
scurity as an essayist, activist, novel-
ist, editor and poet. "As a culture we
are conditioned to name brands," she
observes. "I think to many people I
could not be a name brand until I was
certified by the Pulitzer people. I un-
derstand it and I'm not angry at all."
The Color Purple is an imaginative
tour de force, a painfully vivid and ab-
sorbing rendering of the life of an
uneducated black woman named Celie
growing up in the rural South after the
turn of the century. Celie's story is told
entirely through her letters, many of
them addressed to God and written in
her own language, a lyrical black folk
English (see excerpt on page 85). "I
had to have a forum that reflected her
level of education and sensibilities,"
Walker says of the unusual style.
Not all of it is pleasant. Walker writes
unflinchingly of the repeated rapes in-
flicted on Celie by her stepfather, of
the hapless girl's marriage to an equal-
ly abusive widower and Celie's gradual
awakening through an affair with her
husband's mistress. While black au-

thors like Maya Angelou and Toni Mor-
rison have also broken through the re-
sistance to any writing that might
reinforce negative racial stereotypes,
Walker focuses even more relentlessly
on the sometimes violent sexual con-
flicts between black men and women.
But she is equally concerned with their
strengths. "These are all people who
refuse to knuckle under," explains
Walker, who has patterned her charac-
ters after the people she has known
best. Celie, for example, "is the voice
of my step-grandmother, Rachel. I
tried very hard to record her voice for
America because America doesn't
really hear Rachel's voice."
Walker's sympathy for the unheard
derives from her own troubled girl-
hood. The eighth child born to Georgia
sharecroppers, she was partially blind-
ed when a pellet fired by her broth-
er's BB gun accidentally struck her in
the right eye. The physical scar was
eventually corrected by surgery, but
Walker spent most of her childhood
withdrawing from the world because of
her disfigurement.
She found her refuge in books and
went on to graduate at the top of her
high school class, winning a schol-
arship to Spelman College in Atlanta.
She completed her education at Sarah
Lawrence in Bronxville, N.Y., worked
briefly as a social worker, then joined
the civil rights movement registering
voters in Mississippi in 1966. There she
met and married a Jewish civil rights
law student, Mel Leventhal, and went
with him to live in New York City. Of
those times Walker says, "My own
work was often dismissed by black re-
viewers because of my 'life-style,' a eu-
phemism for my interracial marriage."
Now divorced, they share custody of
their teenage daughter, Rebecca.
After conceiving the idea, Walker
tried to start The Color Purple while liv-
ing in Brooklyn, but couldn't. Her
Southern characters "didn't want to be
born in New York," she says. "They're
not New Yorkers." They're not Califor-
nians either, but Walker headed for
San Francisco in 1978, and four years
later delivered the manuscript to Har-
court Brace Jovanovich.
"Alice is unique," observes Gloria
Steinem, a friend and one of Walker's
earliest literary supporters. "Other

people have written about the lives of
poor people, but they were always
written for an audience of nonpoor
people. Alice writes in a way that ev-
eryone—including the people about
whom she writes—can love and en-
joy." Says Walker of her writing: "I just
always tried to do what was interesting
to me."
One of the groups that intrigue Walk-
er is lesbian writers, because "in their
view of the world, men are really sec-
ondary. And that's a radical view of
life. It's more radical than anything go-
ing because it turns the world upside
down." Still, she admits, "I just happen
to be in love with a man. But I choose
women as a group over men, culturally
speaking."
Walker shares much of her life with
political writer Robert Allen. She lives
in an apartment in San Francisco's Ja-
pantown. Weekdays are spent medi-
tating, reading and writing—most re-
cently, an essay about her recent trip
to China. Weekends, Walker and Allen
escape to a Mendocino cottage where
Alice gardens. Though she was once
chronically depressed over the events
in her life, Walker is happier now—
partly because of the emotional ca-
tharsis her writing provides and be-
cause she has simply mellowed with
age. An added bonus was the $350,000
that Warner Brothers paid for the mov-
ie rights to Purple.
In October, Walker published In
Search of Our Mothers' Gardens. The
collection of essays, dating back to
1966, provides glimpses into the life of
an earlier Walker—the college student
who, pregnant and unwed at 21, con-
sidered slashing her wrists until some-
one gave her the money for an abor-
tion. "Some passages embarrassed
me," she says. "I wavered from time to
time and thought maybe I should de-
lete, change things. The point is," Alice
Walker finally decided, "it's my life and
I really respect it. If there are flaws,
that's the way it was." •
From The Color Purple:

 FIVE BURIED TREASURES FROM
THE MASTER OF SUSPENSE PROVE
TO BE THE MOVIE EVENT OF '83
Alfred Hitchcock
• l o w like Alfred Hitchcock, that droll master of
the macabre, to make his biggest movie splash
three years after his death. The portly perpetrator
of gooseflesh may have breathed his last at age
80, but he never carried more weight at the box of-
fice. First came a homage in the form of a sequel to
his classic Psycho. Now, alone among directors, he
has two films (Rear Window, Vertigo) in current re-
lease and three others (Rope, The Man Who Knew
Too Much, The Trouble With Harry) lined up back-
to-back to follow. These pictures, made between
1948 and 1958, have been out of circulation for two
decades—not by accident, but according to
Hitch's careful plan. Back in 1953 he negotiated a
deal with Paramount to produce, direct and even-
tually own the rights to the five films. Once they
had run their course in theaters, Hitchcock would
then hoard them to increase their value.
He'll never know how well his plan worked. Rear
Window, with James Stewart and an astonishingly
sexy Grace Kelly opened this fall for what its dis-
tributor, Universal Classics, figured to be a modest
run. The gross is already $3.2 million and growing,
and the just-released Vertigo, with Stewart and
Kim Novak, may surpass it. The industry was
stunned by this success, but not Stewart, now 75,
who starred in four of the films. "The pictures I
made for Hitch don't date," says Stewart. "He
made his impact visually, not with words."
Another Hitchcock surprise emerged in the form
of Donald Spoto's 1983 Hitchcock biography, The
Dark Side of Genius. Spoto's Hitchcock, created
from interviews with the director's friends and col-
leagues, is a figure of uncommon perversity, a man
who played cruel practical jokes on actors, whom
he called "cattle," and who became pathologi-

cally obsessed with creating the ideal beauty.
The cool, blond elegance that he sought he
found in Grace Kelly, the star of three Hitchcock
films. When Kelly deserted Hollywood—and by ex-
tension Hitchcock—to marry her Prince, the direc-
tor was devastated, says Spoto. He set about re-
creating her through such actresses as Kim Novak,
Vera (Psycho) Miles and Tippi (Mamie, The Birds)
Hedren. Sadly, the Byronic heart of this fat, balding
man (he carried an average 300 pounds on his 5'8"
frame) could find expression only in his films. By his
own admission Hitchcock and Alma, his late wife,
had lived chastely for the last 30 years of their 53-
year marriage. Mamie screenwriter Jay Presson
Allen said Hitchcock "would go off and have his
fantasy romances, and Alma dealt with it. She
didn't understand it, but she dealt with it." The Kel-
ly clones found detachment a bit harder to come
by. When Hedren rebuffed an unprecedented (for
him) overt sexual advance from her director, he
threatened to cancel the film and destroy her ca-
reer. "I was agonizingly sorry for both of them,"
said Allen.
Perhaps inadvertently, Spoto's revelations have
at last given Hitchcock a kind of romantic image in
death that, in life, he could conjure up only on-
screen through such actors as Stewart, Cary Grant
and Sean Connery. Shirley MacLaine, who made
her movie debut in The Trouble With Harry in 1955,
seems a little disappointed she didn't know that
Hitchcock. "The whole time we shot the film he
didn't say one word to me."
Who was the real Hitchcock? No doubt Hitch
would have loved keeping us guessing. "Sus-
pense," he said, "is like a woman. The more left to
the imagination, the more the excitement." •
 I he movie ads showed her coyly
perched with a ripped sweatshirt
stretched over one lusciously bare
shoulder, and that one image was
enough to launch a fashion revolution
that sent scissors slashing sweats all
over the country. Out of the blue, ev-
eryone wanted to look like Yale sopho-
more Jennifer Beals.
And when they saw Flashdance, the
snazzy, improbable film about a Pitts-
burgh welder who by night turns into a
sexual tornado as a bar dancer, every-
one wanted to dance like her too.
While you have to give credit to some
mean choreography and a catchy dis-
co score, Beals, who just turned 20,
made Flashdance one of 1983's top-
grossing films. Paramount has also
shipped out more than 200,000 home
videotapes of the movie. Early on, Jen-
nifer, with rare candor, announced that
nearly all her fancy moves belonged to
stand-in dancer Marine Jahan (page
98), but the news didn't weaken the ef-
fect. The wild, sensuous contortions
of Jahan/Beals added the word flash
to what people do in discos. No longer
content with Travolta moves or slam
dancing, nightclubs found some-
thing hot in between: the flashdance
contest.
So strong is Beals' on-screen image
that few can imagine her everydayper-
sona: a slim, somewhat reserved col-
lege student in sweater and jeans. To
those who rave about her beauty, Jen-
nifer says, "People haven't seen me
the way I have. You can walk down the
street any day and see women who are
much better looking than me."
Yeah, sure. With dark brown eyes
that can sparkle or pout, smooth olive
skin and a big Pepsi smile that some-
times turns sly and lascivious, Beals is
that screen rarity, an original. Having
modeled since she was 16, she runs
her own career without much help
from her mom, Jeanne, a Chicago ele- DAZZLING LOOKS AND A RIPPED

fred, a black supermarket owner, died

when Jennifer was 9). "She always YALIE INTO A FLASHY STAR
reminds me that an education will last
a lot longer than a movie," says Jenni-
fer, who these days stays diligently be-
hind the ivied walls. Most classmates
take four or five courses; Beals, who
Jennifer Beals
earned high marks last semester,
signed up for six this term. She and her
beau, junior Bob Simonds, share a two-
bedroom, off-campus apartment
where Jennifer cooked a pre-Thanks-
giving dinner for eight friends. (It was
black tie, not a rip in the crowd.)
By mutual agreement with Para-
mount, Beals will not star in Flash-
dance II, already in production. She
wants to try something different and is
reading scripts for next summer. "I've
been offered everything from a con-
tessa to a football player. The only
thing they all have in common is that
they're very independent," she says.
Meanwhile, she has signed to model
the baggy styles of French designers
Marithe" and Francois Girbaud, a modi-
fied Flashdance look. (After meeting
that other Ivy League clotheshorse,
Brooke Shields, Jennifer sent her a
copy of Fitzgerald's This Side of Para-
dise, because it's "necessary reading
before you go to Princeton.") So what-
ever Beals' future movies are, the flop-
py, flirtatious look will be around for
some time, which is okay with its No. 1
model. Says Jennifer, "Every once in a
while, a cabbie will blow his horn and
say, 'Hey, Flashdance, how's it goin'?'
That's very sweet." Or—as they say in
Flashdance—what a feeling. •

 TOM PETERS AND BOB WATERMAN
SEARCHED FOR EXCELLENCE AND
CREATED A BUSINESS BIBLE
PHENOMENON OF '83
#%merican business held its Great
Revival in 1983. Hallelujahs rang out on
Wall Street. Investors flocked down the
sawdust trail to brokerage houses. But
the most inspiring gospel for American
commerce and industry came from
two California-based business authors
bearing a devotion straight out of Nor-
man Vincent Peale: the power of posi-
tive cash flow.
In Search of Excellence, by Thomas
Peters and Robert Waterman Jr., of-
fers a reassuring vision to Japano-
phobes chastened by books like
Theory Zand The Art of Japanese
Management. After 44 printings and
1.3 million hardcover copies in execu-
tive hands, Excellence has become
the biggest nonaction best-seller since
Roots. It has spent nearly every week
of the year as No. 1 on the New York
Times list and cleared the way for busi-
ness how-to books to replace the pre-
vious can't-miss staples of sex, diet,
jogging and Garfield. Perhaps the
sweetest revenge of all, Excellence
has conquered Japan, selling
325,000 copies in translation in the
first six weeks.
The book's success is based on a
message that can warm the cockles of
any capitalistic heart: "There is good
news from America. Good manage-
ment practice today is not resident
only in Japan." Peters and Waterman
go on to cite chapter and verse of
homegrown triumphs, singling out
companies (e.g. IBM, Johnson & John-
son) that have succeeded by listening
to workers and customers, encourag-
ing innovation, creativity and action,
and keeping bureaucracy and red tape
to a minimum. "We didn't find any mag-
ic," says Peters. "We don't buy the no-
tion that these companies have better
people than other companies. What we
learned was that they were beehives
of activity. We found a lot of hard-to-
manage, sometimes crazy entre-
preneurs, but they were allowed to
flourish there."
Few success stories in the book can
match the nonstop super-salesman-
ship of the authors themselves. Peters
96
and Waterman have indefatigably cru-
saded as far as Sweden, Switzerland
and Venezuela, lecturing and consult-
ing at fees of up to $20,000 a day. They
are popping up before every assem-
blage imaginable. Peters has recently
proselytized to 80 chief executives in
Chicago, 600 IBM salesmen in Bermu-
da, 4,500 city managers in Kansas City
and 1,000 bakers in San Francisco. "I
haven't spent a full weekend at home
since June," Waterman sighs.
Despite all this effort, Waterman •
may have to await his reward in a bet-
ter world. A married father of two who
lives south of San Francisco, he is a di-
rector of the giant consulting firm
McKmsey & Co. Since he did research
for the book as a company project, he
has earned no royalties so far (but is
negotiating a deal). The divorced Pe-
ters, on the other hand, left McKinsey
in November 1981 and formed his own
consulting and publishing companies.
Now about $1.50 from each $19.95
hardcover copy is rendered unto him.
That's a lot of mammon—but until
just over a year ago even the authors
were of little faith. As Waterman re-
calls: "On our down days when we
were writing, we thought, 'If this gets to
hardback and our mothers like it, we'll
be lucky.' " Harper & Row cautiously
printed only 15,000 copies—and re-
portedly expected to sell only 6,000.
But then companies like Hewlett-Pack-
ard, Bell Labs and IBM began buying
books by the truckload. Even Harrah's
casinos saw the light and distributed
hundreds of copies to top employees.
But the true place of In Search of Ex-
cellence in America's business pan-
theon may soon be ratified by a hotel
chain that receives favorable notice in
the book's introduction. "I hear a ru-
mor," says Peters, "that Four Seasons
may put paperbacks of our book in
their 6,575 hotel rooms. We may be the
Gideon Bible of Four Seasons." entitled "A Disappointing Search for
Nonetheless, there are nonbeliev- Excellence." The Review takes the au-
ers. Business schools attract a goodly thors to task for using anecdotes and
share of barbs in the book, and the cur- the unsupported testimony of employ-
rent Harvard Business Review re- ees, journalists and other nonexperts,
turned the favor in a scathing attack rather than academic research. (In-

deed, a few spoilsports noted that one
of Waterman's former McKinsey cli-
ents, Seattle's Seafirst Corp., this year
became one of the biggest failures in
the history of U.S. banking.) But the
collaborators are unfazed. "Once we
realized that treating a customer de-
cently was a piece of astonishing news
to big companies," says Peters, "I de-
cided I wouldn't feel guilty about not
telling them how to implement that.
We'll save that for our next book." •

Sex, Drugs and

Pelicans—Take II
What happened next: a year-end update
on the fates of the famous

< Marine Jahan (PEOPLE,

May 16) may be 1983's most
famous unknown. The mov-
ie Flashdance became a
$100 million smash largely
because of its lusty, pyro-
technic dance scenes, yet
the footwork was done not
by star Jennifer Beals, but
by her body double, Jahan,
25. "I did 99 percent of the
dancing and all of the bicy-
cle riding," says Jahan, who
received no screen credit.
"Even the scene when she
gets water thrown over her
is me."
Not surprisingly, Jahan, a
French-bom actress now
living in Los Angeles, was
frustrated at being ignored
initially, which the movie's
producers ascribed to an
oversight. "The critics were
saying all this great stuff
about the dancing, and no
one knew I had done it,"
she says. Now she believes
the delayed recognition
may have been a blessing.
"It gave me mystique," she
explains.
It also brought her steady
employment. Since the
film's premiere Jahan has
flashdanced her way
through commercials for
shoes, milk and a Japanese
health club, and traveled to
Europe to promote the
movie. She has also landed
her first speaking part—
three words—as a stripper
in an upcoming Universal
movie, Streets of Fire.
When an amorous patron
paws her, Jahan looks him
in the eye and barks, "Back
up, scumbag!"

AAlmost a year after Rox-
anne Pulitzer's divorce from
newspaper heir Peter Pulit-
zer (Jan. 24)—she accused
him of drug abuse and in-
cest, he charged her with
lesbianism and sleeping
with a trumpet—Roxanne is
still unhappy with her set-
tlement, which netted her
an estimated $115,000. Her
lawyer, Marvin Mitchelson,
hopes to hear in January
concerning an appeal of
the ruling that gave Peter
custody of the couple's 6-
year-old twins, Mack and
Zack. Meanwhile, Roxanne
has moved from the cou-
ple's Palm Beach mansion
to a nearby two-bedroom
apartment. She spends her
time visiting with the kids
and taking exercise class-
es. Interested in show-
biz, Roxanne got a small
break in November when
Burt Reynolds hired her as
an extra in his upcoming
movie, Stick. The pay? A
reported $40 a day.

<Things seem to have
quieted down in the tumul-
tuous O'Neal clan (Aug. 15).
In May daddy Ryan report-
edly knocked out two of son
Griffin's teeth during a fam-
ily fracas. Not long after-
ward, a troubled Griffin,
then 18, entered a private
drug and delinquency reha-
bilitation center in Hawaii.
Now, seven months later,
Griffin has returned to Los
Angeles, where he is
reportedly under a doc-
tor's care. He celebrated
Thanksgiving with his father
and sister Tatum, 20, at
Ryan's Malibu beachhouse.
"He's gained 10 or 15
pounds and his outlook is
much more mature," says a
friend. "He is doing splen-
didly," adds Griffin's uncle,
Kevin O'Neal. "He's healthy
and strong and that's what
counts. He and his father
are getting along wonder-
fully. They are extremely
close. We are proud of
him."
VA year ago the Cambridge
Diet (Nov. 15,1982) was liv-
ing off the fat of the land.
The radical regimen, which
requires those who observe
it to chow down a suppos-
edly nutritious, low-calorie
food supplement that sells
for $18 a can, added mil-
lions to the bank accounts
of the diet's promoters, the
Feather family of Monterey,
Calif.: dad Jack, mom Ei-
leen and son Vaughan. Said
Eileen, 57: "Cambridge is
the answer to my prayers."
Additional prayers may
soon be in order. Last Sep-
tember Cambridge Plan In-
ternational filed for protec-
tion from creditors under
Chapter 11 of the federal
bankruptcy laws. The com-
pany sold off its spiffy Mon-
terey headquarters and
now operates out of a
warehouse. According to
the Feathers, copycat com-
petition caused the fiscal
fiasco.
But a dozen former Cam-
bridge executives aren't
buying that line. On the
same day Cambridge was
filing for bankruptcy, the 12
filed an $80 million lawsuit
accusing the Feathers of
fraud, deceit and breach of
contract. Because of an-
other suit brought by a
group of former salespeo-
ple claiming restraint of
trade, Eileen and Jack
Feather have been barred
from leaving the country.

around and hearing the
cameras go click, click."
In retrospect, what did
she learn? "That it's a lot
harder to get people to
think about peace than I
thought, even young peo-
ple," says Samantha. She
also discovered that celeb-
rity has its downside. After

V After five years of camp-

ing out in the sanctuary
of the American Embassy
in Moscow, Soviet Pente-
costal Pyotr Vashchenko
(July 18) couldn't believe it
when the Soviet bureaucra-
cy finally allowed him—to-
gether with his wife and 14
children, ranging in age
from 9 to 32—to emigrate
to Israel last year. "It is diffi-
cult to believe that we are
really here, where Jesus
was," said Pyotr in Jerusa-
lem. "We have prayed and
hoped to come here, but
somehow it does not seem
real. It is so sudden."
Then, unexpectedly, his
life changed again. Only

halted production of the

its star, Kristy McNichol
(May 9), was suffering
from what they mysterious-
ly labeled a "chemical

tures whispered of drugs,
but that, according to Kris-
ty's friends, wasn't the
problem. McNichol, they
said, was an emotional
wreck after being whip-
sawed by sudden, early
success (including two Em-

in her most recent films
(The Pirate Movie and

for the survivors. Further up
the coast, in Monterey, an-
other 27 pelicans were
found maimed this fall. The

$10,000 reward, tips helped
police nab a suspect, a 15-
year-old boy.
courtroom observers, in-
cluding Dunne's family,
considered the judge's out-
burst a hypocritical re-
sponse to criticism that his
mishandling of the case
had led to conviction on the
lesser charge. "The judge

entered Chicago's mayoral
race as a political Don Qui-
xote: a Republican candi-
date in an overwhelmingly
Democratic town. Then
black Congressman Harold
Washington upset Mayor
Jane Byrne in the Demo-
cratic primary, and Epton
suddenly found himself with
a real chance to win. That's
when his troubles began.
The press, claims Epton,
unfairly portrayed him as a
racist during the ensuing
bitter campaign. (Among
other alleged offenses, one
of his campaign buttons
read EPTON BEFORE IT'S
TOO LATE, a slogan he
says was devised before
Washington's nomination.)
By the time Washington
won by 44,700 votes, says
Epton, "I was in a rage.
There had been smears by
the media and betrayal by
friends. I'm sorry I ran be-

A TRAGIC YEAR FOR THE MILITARY ENDS
IN BITTERSWEET HOMECOMINGS

MARINES '83
I he shivering young girl with long
blond hair urgently yanked at her
mother's coat sleeve as a cluster of
helmeted Marines with M-16s slung
over their shoulders filed out of the
Trailways bus. "Mom, is that him? Is it,
Mom? Mom?" Like hundreds of other
relatives who braved the raw tempera-
ture and slicing winds with their cam-
eras and little American flags, the
mother and daughter were barricaded
behind a wall of stiff Marines, the wea-
ry returnees' only protection from a
stampede of overeager families.
"Yes," the mother nodded, "that's
him." The girl jumped up frantically.
"Daddy," she squealed, both arms in
the air. "Daaaaaaaaaa-deeeeeee."
There have been other homecom-
ings since the U.S. Marines became
peacekeepers in Lebanon 16 months
ago, but none quite like the one at
Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, N.C. on
Pearl Harbor Day, when the 24th Ma-
rine Amphibious Unit came home. The

Bloody Sunday was bloodier for the
U.S. military than any day since Viet-
nam in 1968. In the week following the
blast 18 more servicemen died in Gre-
nada. For the Marines in particular,
1983 was a year of tragedy and vindi-
cation, and on Pearl Harbor Day Camp
Lejeune was a swirl of emotions, the
joys of reunion tempered by freshly
evoked memories of loss.
Everything possible was done to
give the Marines a glorious reception.

merce handed out 30,000 yellow rib-

Boulevard to honor the dead. As
successive busloads of troops arrived
to a rousing welcome from four march-
ing bands, the cheers of family ("There
he is! There he is!") swelled above the
drone of official valedictories. "My
baby, my baby," screamed one moth-
er, rushing into the arms of a man the
size of Mr. T. "You know," said Cheryl
Windsor, the wife of a returning Marine
pilot, "my husband served two years in
Vietnam and when he came home peo-
ple spit on him. This is so refreshing."
And yet the countercurrent of sor-
row was strong. It was felt the night be-
fore aboard the five transport ships
where the Marines spent their last
night away from home reading, playing
cards, watching a movie {An Officer
and a Gentleman). "It was touchy," re-
membered Lance Cpl. Diedrich Ho-
man. "Everybody was in his own little
world." So many of the unit had come
home earlier, not to pomp but in a
mass cargo of flag-draped coffins. "In
some ways it feels like I never left,"
said one teary-eyed Marine at the fes-
tivities in Jacksonville. "In other ways it
feels like I've been gone a lifetime."
This is a story about some of the re-
unions that happened at Camp Le-
jeune, and some that didn't.

PRECISELY TO THE DRIVER.
The 1984 Mercury Topaz has been designed to be more than an
extension of one's personality. It's been designed to be an extension of a
driver's input, reflexes, and responses.
Consider its source of power. Unlike most conventional four-cylinder
designs, Topaz's new 2 3 0 0 HSC engine utilizes high-swirl-combustion tech-
nology to give you more responsive acceleration in city driving and other
stop-and-go traffic situations.
Topaz is the only American-designed car with a standard, fully indepen-
dent suspension system incorporating both front and rear MacPherson struts.
This provides a smooth, comfortable ride while allowing the driver to main-
tain a superb feel of the road.
^ Other standard features, such as power brakes, front-wheel
drive, and precision rack-and-pinion steering all contribute to
I making Topaz a highly responsive automobile.
%s^ Equally important are the unitized body, welded
^v to form a high-strength passenger capsule, the gener-
^w ous use of energy-absorbing materials, and special
\ ^ anchorages for child-restraint tethers.
The Mercury commitment to qual-
ity is evidenced not only in Topaz's fit
and finish, but also in the way the
car " f e e l s " on the road—an
intangible for some per-
haps, but certainly one
characteristic that today's
more enlightened buyer
will appreciate.

perience Topaz for yourself.

chocolate cake, his favorite. She is
one of the lucky wives. "I met one lady
at Lejeune that day and asked about
her husband," Debrah recalled. "She
said, 'He's not coming back.' I didn't
know what to say."
By 8:45 a.m. Debrah's hair was in
curlers, she had hung a welcome-
home sign on the front of her house
and had gotten her antsy sons, John III,
6, and Tyson, 31/'2, into new Sunday-
best outfits. Earlier in the week she
had given herself a permanent and
bought at a sale a fetching gray suit to
show off her figure, 13 pounds lighter
since John had left. "I went all out be-
cause I know he takes pride in how I
look," she said. Her freezer had long
since been stocked with dishes he
loves—chili, lasagna, spaghetti and
meatballs—and, in an ultimate show of
true love, she had cleaned the oven.
"You know it's a big occasion when I
do that," she said, laughing.
His absence had been the longest
of their seven-year marriage. (At 30,
John, a staff sergeant, has been a Ma-
rine since 1972.) She passed the time
with her children, friends, books, Tup-
perware parties and answering his 81
letters. During the waiting she became
reflective about her husband, more
appreciative of him, "even the little
pinches when he walked past me." The
bombing left an indelible imprint on
her. "I could have lost him and that
scared me more than anything. Hell
couldn't have kept me away if he had
been wounded."
The Hendricksons left for the re-
union from their house on the base
around 10:30 a.m., but it was not until
5:30 p.m. that the bus carrying her hus-
band arrived. Then she spotted him,
6'4" and 30 pounds less of him. Crying,
she flew into his arms, saying, "I love
you," as their sons grabbed their fa-
ther's knees. John unlocked her em-
brace and joked, "Hey, I'm all in
one piece." "Don't worry," she said.
"I'm taking inventory when we get
home." As the family disappeared into
the night, John stopped, threw back his
head and inhaled deeply. "Aaaaaah,"
he said. "American air!"
Dennis and Beverly Schultz watched
the happy Lejeune homecoming on
television in their house trailer in the
cold north woods of Keeseville, N.Y.,
near the Canadian border. But they did
not celebrate. Their son—Lance Cpl.
"Scott was a great kid," says Beverly
Schultz, with husband Dennis. "You
couldn't ask for a better son."
Scott L. Schultz, 19, a victim of the
Bloody Sunday bombing—had already
come home. Now he lay beneath
ground covered by an early winter
snow, and the TV news only brought
back the sorrow that had haunted the
Schultz family for six weeks.
"He was supposed to call tonight,"
said Beverly, 39, a pastry cook at a
nearby inn. "That hurts."
"We're always thinking about him,
but it's worse today," said Dennis, also
39, a disabled laborer.
Dennis opened his wallet and care-
fully removed a piece of folded yellow
paper—a homemade Fathers' Day
card, with an original poem, that Scott
had sent from Beirut. Beverly darted
into another room and returned with a
gold cross, adorned with a diamond
and still mounted in the box it was pur-
chased in. "You don't see many sons
at 18 who will send their mother a
necklace that cost almost $300," she
said. "He sent it for Christmas last year
because he wasn't home."
Scott also sent money—$400 a
month—to supplement the family bud-
get. Some of it went to buy a bicycle
that enables Scott's older brother Den-
nis, 20, to commute to his job as a dish-
washer in a local restaurant. Some
bought school clothes for brother,
Dale, 13. Some purchased a tank of
kerosene for the trailer. The Schultzes
were reluctant to use Scott's money
for household items, but he insisted.
"You couldn't ask for a better son,"
said Beverly, wringing her hands on the
kitchen tabletop. "He was the best."
During his high school years, howev-
er, there was one source of conflict be-
tween Scott and his parents. He want-
ed to join the Marines right after
graduation. They wanted him to stay at
home, at least for a year. Scott repeat-
edly begged his parents to sign the pa-
pers that would enable him to join the
Marines before he reached the legal
age of 18. They repeatedly refused.
Finally Dennis gave in to his son's
pleas. In July 1982, just a month after
his graduation, Scott left Keeseville for
Camp Lejeune. He loved it, and he rev-
eled in the rigors of boot camp. In April
1983 he returned home on a furlough—
sporting a multicolored cobra tattoo
on his right biceps—and informed his
family that he was going to Beirut in
May. The full impact of his words didn't
really hit them. "We knew it was a bad
spot," said Beverly, "but not as bad as
it turned out."
While Scott was in Beirut, his par-
ents wrote him every day. He replied
regularly, closing his letters with the
phrase "Take care and God bless." He
allowed himself some sentimentality:
"I love you all. You give me the power
to go on day after day. I am very proud
to have you as my family." And he tried
to reassure them about the fighting:
"You must be getting one hell of a sto-
ry on the news back home. Well, don't
worry about what's going on here. It's
not as bad as it sounds."

Why are you still using soap

when women from Philadelphia to Phoenix
will tell you Dove is better?
There is no question about it. Dove"is better for your
face than soap. Ten years of clinical tests have proved
it to be a scientific fact.
These women proved it for themselves after giving
up soap and using Dove for just seven days.
You see, soap dries your skin. It strips away your
skin's natural moisturizer. It cleans your face—dry.
But Dove is not a soap. It's made

 In the last letter... he said he was sick of seeing his buddies go by on stretchers
Around the middle of October, while
his platoon was stationed in sandbag-
lined bunkers on the southern end of
the Beirut airport, Scott was sent to
the "BLT building," Marine headquar-
ters, for a rotation in the mess hall. He
was there on Bloody Sunday.
Beverly Schultz was so nervous af-
ter hearing about the bombing that she
burned her hand on the oven that
morning and her boss sent her home.
For the next three days Dennis dialed
and redialed the special Marine in-
formation number but all he ever heard
was the frustrating buzz of a busy sig-
nal. Then, on Wednesday, they saw
three somber Marines marching to-
ward their door.
The news was particularly devastat-
ing for Scott's brothers. "The oldest I After stray artillery rounds ricocheted
one—he's got a speech defect and
he's a little handicapped—he said, 'I
don't know why it couldn't have been

didn't come out for about two days."
Sitting around their kitchen table on
the night of the Camp Lejeune home-
coming, the Schultzes wondered about
the wisdom of the Marines' mission in
Beirut.
"How many guys are they gonna
lose?" Beverly wondered.
"In the last letter he wrote, the day
before the bombing, he said he was
getting sick of seeing his buddies go by
on stretchers," Dennis said.
Two years after they signed the pa-
pers, the Schultzes were still haunted
by their decision to allow Scott to join
the Marines. "I didn't want him to
go," Beverly said. "I didn't want to sign
the papers," Dennis said, his fingers
fidgeting nervously with his son's let-
ters, arranging them into piles, then re-
arranging them. "But he saw the re-
cruiter in Plattsburgh and he came out
to the car, and he said, 'Please, Dad,
please.' I said, 'No, Scott, I don't want
to.' And he said, 'Please, please.' And
I said, 'Well, okay, if that's what you
want.' "
Dennis Schultz stood up, his eyes
brimming with tears, and paced into
the living room.
"Scott said this was gonna be the
best Christmas we ever had," said
Beverly. "Instead, it's gonna be the
worst."
off the BLT building hours before the
attack, Cpl. William Gaines Jr. and his
buddy Sgt. Armando Ybarra decided to
sleep on the floor as a safety precau-
tion. After the explosion Ybarra
Ybarra, wife Angle, 23, and daughter Ally-
son greeted his buddies. His injuries might
force him out of the Marines.

Ybarra, who had received get-well
wishes from around the country, de-
flected suggestions he was a hero. "I
was asleep," said the Austin, Texas
native and 10-year veteran of the Ma-
rines. "Maybe if I had been awake and
tried to stop it, we could say I was a
hero."
He returned to Lejeune on Nov. 2. He
suffered no broken bones, but his right
foot and part of his right leg are numb;
if his recovery goes well, he will be
able to walk unaided in a year. Once at
home in Jacksonville, he saw for the
first time his youngest daughter, Wen-
dy, 6 months, who was born two weeks
after he left for Lebanon. (Daughter Al-
lyson is 2.)
The emotional wounds will also take
time to heal. While hospitalized he was
visited by Gaines' wife and mother.
The women probed for answers: What
had Gaines done the night of the blast?
Was he asleep when it happened? Had
he said anything about them? In the
end Gaines' wife had said that perhaps
her husband's death was simply
"God's will." Ybarra must struggle with
survivor's guilt. "When I was in the hos-
pital, I said, 'Why me? Why couldn't all
three of us have lived? Or died?' " (A
third Marine buddy, Cpl. Henry Town-
send, asleep on the other side of
Gaines, survived as well.)
Ybarra remembered a discussion
group held among the wounded. "A
counselor asked, 'Do you cry?' Nobody
wanted to say anything. Finally, I said,
'Hell, yeah, I do. When I sit back and re-
alize how many friends I lost.' "

Sgt. Richard Blankenship told his wife

Debbie, 23, that when he got home he
wanted a fire going in their new mobile
home and the champagne chilled. She

Reminders of her husband's fate are
all about her. "They sent over his be-

everything else, those hurt me the
most. That's what he had on in the fam-

Both grew up in nearby Fayetteville,
N.C. Richard, a Marine since 1975,
planned to reenlist. But his letters had
grown uncharacteristically sentimen-
tal—and ominous. He once wrote her
that he wanted Kenny Rogers' Love
the World A way played at his funeral,
and that he "didn't expect to live to
see 26." "I just feel like he knew," Deb-
bie said. "One time I wrote him and
said, 'Sometimes I'm afraid that you're
not coming home.' He said, 'I know how
you feel. I feel the same way. But I just
try to shake it off.' "
Weeks after his funeral she received
a "poetic" letter saying how happy he
was after five years of marriage. His
last letter, said Debbie through an em-
barrassed blush, "was so hot it nearly
burnt my fingers off."
She was not bitter. "He loved the
Marines," she said. "He didn't and I
don't understand the killing. Richard
said he didn't know why he was there,
but that he was a Marine and he had to
do what they told him to."
She will receive financial benefits
from the Marines (including a $35,000
insurance payment) and from the Ma-
rine Beirut Relief Fund organized by
Camp Lejeune wives. She plans to stay
in Jacksonville ("I feel closer to him
here") and may return to school. She
spent most of Thanksgiving Day alone
at her husband's grave, but she and
her son will join her parents in Fayette-
ville for Christmas.
Debbie intends to keep her hus-

> After serving up more
than 370 books that have
sold some 400 million
copies worldwide, the
Eminence rose of romance
is about to publish her first
cookbook. No mere meat
and potatoes for Britain's
Barbara Cartland, 82. The
Romance of Food, due in
May from Doubleday & Co.,
is just that: a compendium
of aphrodisiacal concoc-
tions such as "Dreams Do
Come True," and "Joy of
the Gods"—the first, a veal
kidney dish, the second, a
salade Nigoise.
"There isn't any plant,
any leaf that hasn't been an
aphrodisiac," says Cart-
land, whose own chef of 18
years, Nigel Gordon, drew
up the lists of ingredients
and the directions for carry-
ing out Barbara's recipes.
"I've looked up all the dif-
ferent things," the author
says of her libidinous bill of
fare, "and told lovely sto-
ries about them." Cartland
promises that her first ef-
fort at a culinary romance
will be "quite, quite differ-
ent" from Fanny Farmer
and Julia Child. No doubt.

 An important message from PAUL NEWMAN and JOANNE WOODWARD
"We share our love with
seven wonderful children
we have never seen.
"We'd like to tell you why."
"For 16 years we've been Save
the Children sponsors. We began
by sponsoring a desperately poor
little girl from the mountains of
Colombia—a child who lived in a
one-room hut and could only
dream of attending school.
"It was a joy to share our good
fortune with her and to know that
she was blossoming because
someone cared enough to help.
It made us want to help other
children in the same way. And
now we sponsor seven children
around the world. Children we
have come to understand and
love. Thanks to Save the Children.
"If you've ever wondered 'What
can one person do?'—the answer
is 'You can help save a child.' If
you are touched by the plight of
needy children, there is no better
way than Save the Children to
reach out to them with caring,
comfort, and support.
"Please join us as a Save the

V If last year was the hour
of the hunk, '84 may be the
time for twins. ABC is de-
veloping a series about
twins, but it's just one of a
pair. NBC has beaten its ri-
val to the one-two punch
with Double Trouble, an Em-
bassy Television sitcom
scheduled to debut in
March. The stars are Jean
and Liz Sagal, the 22-year-
old twins of the late TV film
director Boris (Masada) Sa-
gal. The sisters play the
identical teenage daugh-
ters of a gym owner (Don-
nelly Rhodes). In real life, as
on the series, twins have
special problems. "There's
one show about what it's
like for twins at birthdays,"
says Liz. "I always hated
people who gave one pres-
ent for both of us." The
young actresses—who
moved 2,500 miles apart
(New York and Los Ange-
les) several years ago—
have rarely teamed on-
screen. Says Jean, "We
had always avoided work-
ing together, but we loved it
in Grease II." Still, if Double
Trouble doesn't work, adds
Jean, "We'll go our sepa-
rate ways."

THE BRIEFING OF AMERICA
TAKES HOLD, AS WOMEN STEP INTO
LOCKER-ROOM LINGERIE

140
 STYLE '84

I t may be remembered as the Boxer

Rebellion of 1983-84. Not satisfied with
raiding trousers and shirts from men's
closets, women have moved into their
drawers. In other words, ladies are—
egad—wearing men's underwear.
Calvin Klein and Jockey Inter-
national are the pioneers of locker-
room lingerie. Jockey, a giant in the
men's field, was the first to cross the
great divide. Its Jockey for Her line of
lace-free panties and unadorned cami-
soles of 100 percent cotton is now sell-
ing in more than 200 department stores
across the country. Klein's underwear
is more overtly masculine. The collec-
tion, with matching tops, includes
scanty briefs that look suspiciously like
jock straps, thigh-high bikinis and box-
er shorts with a fly. The bottoms have
you-know-whose name spelled out on
elastic waistbands as broad as the
boys'.
Both Jockey and Klein have
launched strong ad campaigns. Jock-
ey, convinced it's riding a winner, has
already spent more than $3 million
on its Look Who's Wearing Jockey Now
promotion. Klein's campaign, predict-
ably provocative, has raised the wrath
of feminists. It features a model, lying,
eyes closed, on her back, wearing
briefs and an undershirt pushed up to
reveal her right breast. "It's sexist ad-
vertising," says Florence Rush of
Women Against Pornography. Sexist it
may be, but Klein, who expects sales
to reach $20 million by the end of 1984,
isn't changing a thing. "I'm not looking
to provoke people," the designer has
said. "I'm not trying to sell sex. But
there's sex in everything."
Meanwhile, Fernando Sanchez, a
leading lingerie designer, has a role re-
versal of his own in mind. Sanchez's
spring collection includes satin tank
tops and silk mesh bikinis—for the
boys, natch. •

CAN
A FRAGRANCE ACTUALLY
ATTRACT
THE OPPOSITE SEX?
What the Evidence States
Virtually every fragrance
known to man and woman was
created to attract the opposite
sex. But, do they? Scientists are
skeptical. While fragrance serves
the purpose of adding a pleasant
scent or masking an unpleasant
one, there is no evidence that any
fragrance is an attractant.
Smells Can Attract
However, scientists have
known for years that smells can
attract or repel. Actually, the
sense of smell is the key sense,
common to all species, in com-
municating to the opposite sex.
A scientific fact is that sexual
communication is established by
chemical attractants. These attrac-
tants are called pheromones. It is
known that fish, insects and mam-
mals secrete pheromones just
prior to mating. It is these
pheromones that lead to sexual
bonding.
Do Human Pheromones
Exist?
Many prominent scientists be-
lieve that humans also emit a
pheromone in order to signal the
opposite sex. Actually leaving a
scent trail. Other scientists do
not believe the evidence is con-
clusive. This divergence of opinion
has been called the pheromone
controversy.
There may be a controversy

vinced humans do secrete a phero-
mone, report that they secrete a
pheromone called alpha-androstenol.
Alpha-androstenol, they say, is an
attractant between the sexes.
The Discovery
of Alpha-Androstenol
It is this pheromone, alpha-
androstenol, that led to the crea-
tion of Andron by Jovan. Andron
was not just created to attract the
opposite sex, but it actually con-
tains the chemical pheromone
many scientists believe will
attract the opposite sex. Andron
is a light, floral fragrance. While
the fragrance is beautiful, it is
actually the alpha-androstenol in
Andron that sets it apart from
fragrance.

ADDRESS" and "UNRECOGNIZED
HOST." This is their idea of fun?
This is a very dull generation.
These crazed kids of the computer
era aren't playing stickball, going on
panty raids or marching against wars,
the things that used to be fun. They're
noodling with their computers, alone,
at all hours, staring at TV screens that
have no sex or violence.
Not all of the microkids are mischie-
vous hackers, nor are all geniuses. But
many are addicted to computers.
There is something magical and allur-
ing about these machines; they do
what you tell them to, they challenge
you and they can be fascinating. No,
they do not seem human—though they
do seem smarter than a dog. The idea
that a computer could replace a pooch
as a boy's best friend is frightening.
Still, it's better that kids are addicted
to computers than to drugs.
So what kind of kids are computers
raising? And what will the future be like
in their hands? Different, in many ways,
good and bad, trivial and profound.
For instance:
• Computers are logical and consis-
tent. If they don't work, there's always
a solution, whether it's complicated or
simple. Example: If the computer
doesn't print, it may be because you
told it to "PFINT"; you'll have to find
the typo and you will, if you look hard
enough. That's what makes playing
with these machines so rewarding:
They tell you whether you're right or
wrong and, in the end, you're always
right. If computers make kids more log-
ical and persistent, so much the better.
The problem is that the world is not
such a logical and rational place; any-
body in politics or in corporations or in
love can tell you that. And you only
have to look to Beirut to know that
there are not always easy solutions. So
the kid who sits inside with his machine
is not learning the shadings and sub-
tleties of the world outside.
• Communing with a computer is,
like reading in the bathroom, best done
alone. A computer addict has little
time for people, doesn't get outside
much and never gets a good tan.
Computer kids aren't necessarily
lonely, though, for they have their ma-
chines to play with. These kids may be
boring, but they're rarely bored.
• You can make friends—human
ones—through a computer, hooking
your machine into a nationwide net-
work of machines. To meet people this

way, you type messages back and
forth, so you can't see whether your
new friend is black or white, pretty or
ugly, young or old. Maybe that's for the
best. It's harder to discriminate on the
computer.
So far, it's mainly men who are in-
volved in computers—more than 90
percent of the members of Compu-
Serve, a computer information net-
work, are male. Still, love bridges all
things, even computers. Through Com-
puServe, a half-dozen couples have
met and courted. Some even got
married.
• On similar computer networks,
you can, today, check the stock mar-
ket, make airline reservations, order
color TV sets, even pay bills. So the
computer kids will be deprived of tell-
ing one of the world's great lies: "The
check's in the mail." They'll have a
TRENDS
new one: "My computer was down."
• Computers, we already know, can
make it possible to work at home. That
could be more than just convenient. It
could change life in America. If work-
ers are freed of time-consuming meet-
ings and long lunches, the economy (if
not two-martini restaurants) could
boom. And by keeping these kids
home—something preachers have
been trying to do for years—comput-
ers could strengthen the American
family.
• Computers demand precision, but
that doesn't mean they stunt imagina-
tion; you'll find plenty of it in the com-
puter games these kids invent and
play. And the computer as a tool can
unleash creativity by reducing tedium
for writers, designers and artists; a
poet, for instance, can change "June"
to " m o o n " to "croon" to his heart's
content, without ever having to retype
his work.
• But some basic skills are falling by
the wayside: long division, multiplica-
tion and spelling, to name a vital few.
Computers do those things for you.
• You at least have to know how to
type to use a computer. But that skill,
too, will fall away as machines get bet-
ter at listening to the spoken word.
• It's not as if kids without these
skills will go without work. There's big
money in computers. If The Graduate
were made today, the advice whis-
pered to Dustin Hoffman would not be
"plastics"; it would be "software."
• A computer stretches time. You
can get so engrossed in playing with it
that you lose track of hours; a comput-
er can keep you up later than any late-
night movie. Unlike a friend or a plumb-
er, a computer is just as happy to play
with you or serve you at 2 a.m. as
2 p.m.
• A computer also shrinks time. Un-
like the mails, which take days to get
something to you, a computer can de-
liver a message in a twinkling. Because
of that, computer people can be very
impatient. They call a printer that spits
out 35 characters per second slow. If
they think that's slow, imagine how pa-
tient they'll be waiting for luggage off
an airplane.
• You may discover that it's hard to
understand what these high-tech
teens are talking about today. But
that's nothing new; teenagers have al-
ways spoken in argot. Instead of say-
ing "far-out" or "cool" or "cat's
meow," the kids today say "sysgen"
and "bdos" and "8088." '
That's really the problem. Nowadays
there's no more of a generation gap
than there ever was. But there is a tech
gap. Computer kids are cultists. Like
an est graduate or a Moonie or a Jesus
freak, they insist that you can't under-
stand their devotion until you try it
yourself.
Who are they kidding? Learn how to
work a computer? Adults can't learn
that—or at least some don't think they
can. Computers are, as satirist song-
writer Tom Lehrer once said of New
Math, "so simple, so very simple that
only a child can do it."
Grownups, many of them, are feel-
ing left behind as computers creep into
every corner of their lives, almost tak-
ing over the world. But it's not the com-
puters that are taking over the world.
It's the kids. •
