The Sphinx Called Doubleday

Balladonia was always on the map, but few could say where. Last week, the tiny desert truck stop in Western Australia was swamped with hundreds of curiosity seekers after the last resting place of some shard of Skylab, the 77&#8208;ton space station that descended &#8212; finally &#8212; in an arc of fire that crossed the Indian Ocean and the Australian continent. To the relief of probable majority of the earth's population, there has been no confirmed report of injury to persons or property.

ROME &#8220;To be considered a sex symbol gratifies me,&#8221; says Laura Antonelli, the long&#8208;reigning Italian box&#8208;office queen who in 1979 has flashed across American movie screens with all the subtlety a Roman candle. When &#8220;Till Marriage Do Us Part&#8221; has its premiere at the Plaza Theater on Friday, will be the actress's fourth film to open in just seven months, and many ticket&#8208;buyers are queuing less for glimpses Miss Antonelli's innocent green velvet eyes and alabaster complexion than of her curvaceous &#8212; and liberally displayed &#8212; figure.

NICARAGUAN JUNTA SELECTS ITS CABINET

The United States made small progress last week in persuading Nicaragua's guerrillas to make a deal to clinch President Anastasio Somoza Debayle's departure.

The Nicaraguan Red Cross estimated that 20,000 people had been killed in six weeks of fighting between the Sandhiists and General Somoza's National Guard. More than 600,000 people are homeless, many close to starvation.
