COVER: The Great Maid Robberies. Cover: Painting by Malian Allen.

The Great Maid Robberies By John Peer Nugent and Richard Brenneman It's hard to get good help. There was a group of redheaded women, however, recently available, who were models of what a maid should be. They cooked and cleaned with a diligence matched only by their pursuit of whatever fine jewels happened to be lying around. They were a highly organized gang of thieves, and one of them is now behind bars due to the tireless efforts of one of the victims, Barbara Cohn, a sculptress from Rye. The events in this article have been reconstructed from official records and interviews with the people involved.

Dressed for a Killing By David Rosenthal There is a kid in Brian De Palma's new movie, a genius of sorts, who's made a big machine with flashing lights called a differential analyzer. "That kid is me," says the director. "I built that machine." Now he's grown up and built an even bigger machine with flashing lights. It's a scary film called Dressed to Kill, and our critic, David Denby, has called it the first great movie of the eighties. It has razors and blood and kinky sex and art museums and Angie Dickinson.

Clothes Encounters With John Fairchild By James Brady It's a moot point whether New York or Paris is the fashion capital of the world. But it doesn't matter to John Fairchild, the publisher of Women's Wear Daily, because he rules absolutely in both cities. James Brady succeeded Fairchild in the Paris job in 1960 (below) , has edited WWD himself, and knows all there is to know about the man. Whether to know him is to love him is another question.

Running With Liz By Michael VerMeulen Representative Liz Holtzman seems to have much of what it takes to become the next senator from New York. She's a bright, hardworking liberal who has fought the good fight for ERA, civil rights, Israel, and reduction of Defense Department waste. But when you're running against a Myerson and a Lindsay, issues are not all that count.

DEPARTMENTS:
Legal Aid: The Wild Child-- When Parents Must Pay By Andrew O. Shapiro In some cases, parents can be made legal- ly answerable for their child's misdeeds.
Cityside: Oh, Shea Can You See? By Robert Love Karl Ehrhardt, the Mets' "sign man," is a Most Valuable Fan at the stadium.
Music: Kolodin vs. the Met--The Right Rake, the Wrong Muck By Alan Rich Our critic examines a colleague's thesis about the decline of the Metropolitan Opera and finds it misses the target.
Theater: Four Plays, Four Sexualities By John Simon On the week's scene: one happy sur- prise and three disappointments.
Books: Looking-Glass War By Stanley Hoffmann Richard Nixon does not know that the failure of our foreign policy is our in- ability to see ourselves as others see us.
Art: The Belgian Connection By John Ashbery The work of the relatively unknown Leon Spilliaert, at the Met, is a revelation. At Japan House, an exhibition of Japanese kites is a midsummer treat.
Movies: A-D-U-L-T-E-R-Y By David Denby Honeysuckle Rose, an aimless, conventional drama about cheating, country-style, is distinguished by Willie Nelson's sad, sweet performance. The Great Santini tries for truth but ends up as sentimental family melodrama.
