Jagger plays a rock star who decides to switch identities with hunted hit man James Fox. The film features Jagger singing the song "Memo From Turner."

"Running Out of Luck" (1987): This 80-minute film by Julien Temple is built around (and served as a promotional vehicle for) Jagger's solo album, "She's the Boss." Jagger and wife Jerry Hall venture down to South America to shoot a music video when Jagger is kidnapped. The plot is interspersed with Jagger's songs. "Let's Spend the Night Together" (1982): This Stones performance film was culled from the group's 1981 concert tour. The excitement level is kept fairly high with the vigorous direction of Hal Ashby Home," "The Last and what seems to be countless camera angles. "Sympathy for the Devil" (1970): This experimental filmdocumentary is a sort of essay on the political mood of the 1960s, underscored by the Stones performing their music (mostly the title song).

With the re-release of the Stones' classic concert film, "Gimme Shelter," on video, the ever-sensational Jagger can once again be witnessed in an electrifying performance from 20 years ago. And one of Jagger's few non-musical roles, the "bone-jacking" bounty hunter in last year's "Freejack," has also been recently released on video. Add to this Jagger and his fellow Stones made literally larger than life with the "At the Max filmed-concert presentation at the Museum of Science and Industry's Omnimax Theater.

Here is a roundup of Jagger's work on video: "Gimme Shelter" (1970): This' documentary is not only a mesmerizing Stones performance, but also a stunning statement on the explosive late 1960s.

The new R-rated version replaces an older cut PG tape that was released several years ago.

Jagger coolly plays Vacendak, the cynical bounty hunter who is hired to track Estevez down when he escapes.

A slick, quick movie that is made all the more fun by Jagger's aloof performance. "Burden of Dreams" (1982): This fascinating documentary tells the story of German director Werner Herzog's obsessive plight to film his epic movie "Fitzcarraldo" the tale of a 19th Century Irishman's (Klaus Kinski) obsessive struggle to bring opera to the jungle. Jagger was to star in the film but had to drop out when it ran over schedule and over budget and Jagger had to tour. "The Nightingale" (1983): Jagger plays an emperor who learns about friendship from a magical bird in this segment from Shelley Duvall's "Faerie Tale Theatre" cable series.

The two kids were supposed to sleep next to each other in their sleeping bags on the floor in Emma's bedroom. After a while, Josh crept into Emma's bed. In the morning, the little girl asked where he had disappeared to, but Josh lied and said he was right next to her all the time. I don't know where Emma's head is to allow two children of the opposite sex to sleep next to each other at this age.

She says they are much too young to have any notions about sexuality. I have grown children, Ann, two boys and two girls, and I wouldn't permit the older boy and girl to camp out together when they were 1 1 and 13. Am I nutty on this subject, as some people have suggested? What kind of advice can you give? Emma won't listen to anything I say, and I'm truly concerned.

And that she invited a girl from school to sleep over with Josh is mind-boggling.

Where is the girl's mother? Emma needs to talk to Josh's pediatrician before the boy is thoroughly screwed up. You are a good friend to take an interest in this kooky woman. I hope she appreciates your friendship and starts listening. Dear Ann Landers: We are writing in response to the letter from the woman in San Diego who feared that her brother would seriously injure their 66-year-old mother. Tragically, abuse cases among the elderly are skyrocketing.

There has been a 50 percent rise in the last 10 years. That 66-year-old woman is only one of an estimated l.S million older Americans who are abused every year by family members or nursing-home caregivers and con artists. The abuse can range from theft of a Social Security check to violent attacks, including rape and murder. The situation is a national disgrace. Adult Protective Services is required to investigate all reported cases of abuse.

Unfortunately, because of fiscal constraints, many states do not have adequate staff and resources to handle the overwhelming caseloads. We have introduced legislation to extend the same protection to older Americans that was afforded America's children in the landmark Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1974. Among its provisions, our bill would provide additional money to state agencies to enable them to investigate reported cases of elder abuse. Our legislation has been incorporated into the Older Americans Act, which hopefully will be signed into law later this year. Sen.

Gould's identification of the various species of finches eventually became the foundation for Darwin's theory of evolution, though Gould later seemed oblivious of the import of their association, referring to their research as little more than "pleasing chats." The author judges Gould to have been less of a "servant of science" than a "merchant of science." Even the illustrations of his deepest passion, the hummingbird, were intended "to become one of Gould's greatest money-spinners, and to focus worldwide interest upon Gould rather than merely upon the hummingbird phenomenon." Such conceit becomes tiresome, even in a life as filled with accomplishment as Gould's.

But Tree's chronicle will no doubt introduce a new generation to his enchanting illustrations, four of which appear here in color. port of colleagues and access to the society's growing collection of bird skins. At 26, he was able to publish his first illustrated book, "A Century of Birds From the Himalayan Mountains," and in less than 10 years he was successful enough to travel in Australia for two years, a journey that eventually produced the famous seven-volume "Birds of Australia." But it was not only Gould's professional contacts that brought him success. The author consistently portrays Gould as a man who was only too willing to exploit the skills and resources of others, particularly artists beginning with his wife, a talented illustrator whom he put to work immediately after their marriage. One attribute that Gould completely lacked was the ability to draw, Tree writes.

Gould's association with Charles Darwin is a tantalizing tale. It was under the famed ornithologist's di both brisk and dispassionate very much like the man it describes. As the author makes clear, Gould's rise from humble beginnings was as much a result of the social and scientific changes sweeping through Victorian England as it was of Gould's ambitious and ruthless temperament. Gould's early training as a taxidermist coincided with the expansion of trade routes and the race for colonies among the nations of Europe. His opportunity for success came with his appointment as taxidermist to the newly formed Zoological Society.

The society quickly attracted many of England's most distinguished naturalists, several of whom were experts on birds. In the expansive atmosphere of those times, Gould was able to exploit his position, gaining the sup foward the middle of the 19th Century, John Gould, the British ornithologist and self-proclaimed "Bird Man," began publishing a remarkable and lavishly designed series of books on birds. This undertaking, stretching across 50 years, eventually resulted in more than 3,000 illustrations depicting winged creatures from nearly every continent. A contemporary and rival of John James Audubon, Gould inspired divided feelings among his associates.

Then someone from a New Jersey bowling team made a smart remark about a batting average and the brawl was on. Cops were called, the Yanks talked to a grand jury and Martin was traded because he was a bad influence on The Mick. His name was Mark David Chapman.

On Dec. 8, 1980, he waited in the carriageway of the Dakota on West 72nd Street and after Lennon and wife Yoko Ono returned from a recording session, Chapman called out, "Hey, John!" and shot him four times.

Crime and scandal, they write, are as New York as the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge both of which, by the way, have seen major disasters the skyscraper when a plane struck the 79th floor in 1945, killing 14 people, and the bridge in 1883 when a crowd stampeded on opening day and 12 died.
