Ron Levin's forty-minute one-acter gives signs, at first, of turning into a quietly amusing comedy.

Profumo's firm denial of wrongdoing, and a demonstration of support from Prime Minister Macmillan, quashed the story temporarily-until it burst forth again last week.

Noyes is looking for skilled interpretive writers to back up Political Writer Mary McGrory and Pentagon Reporter Richard Fryklund (TIME, April 12). With only one foreign correspondent-Newbold Noyes's Paris-based brother Crosby-the Star cannot hope to match the 14 foreign correspondents who write for the Post, but the new editor plans to develop a team of "regional specialists."
