Most of this year's more interesting primary contests involve clear-cut ideological differences. In California, actor Ronald Reagan and former San Francisco Mayor George Christopher are staging a rerun of the Goldwater-Rockefeller contest, while Governor Pat Brown has been challenged in the Democratic primary by the hero of the casual bigots, Mayor Sam Yorty of Los Angeles. In Alabama, Lurleen Wallace is facing an increasingly liberal Attorney-General Richmond Flowers. In contrast, it is impossible to find such differences between the two Democrat Senatorial candidates in Michigan, former (1949-1960) Governor G. Mennen Williams and Detroit's Mayor...
...reality and illusion--provided the playwright is skillful. Dennison isn't. Instead of treating the device seriously or comically--as in Batman when a BLAM sign is flashed--he tries to do both at once and winds up with something that is laughable.

...them come from the Midlands, from Yorkshire, Manchester and Birmingham, sporting their distinct regional accents like badges-it is no longer necessary to affect an Oxford accent to get ahead.

Now the kids are prepared to spend what they've got. As a working-class boy, there's a real barrier in the mind. It's so strange to be able to do things...
...SCENE THREE. Also Saturday afternoon in Chelsea, at Le Reve restaurant. Wolfing down a quick lunch are some of the most switched-on young men in town: Actor Terence Stamp, 26, star of The Collector and steady date of Model Jean Shrimpton; Actor Michael Caine, 33, the Mozart-loving spy in The Ipcress File; Hairdresser Sassoon, 38, whose cut can be seen both at Courreges in Paris and on Princess Meg; Ace Photographer David Bailey, 27, professional associate of Antony Armstrong-Jones; and Doug Haywood, 28, Chelsea's "in-nest" private tailor. The conversation revolves about the evils...
