...help keep himself in one piece, Bellow, who used to live in New York, six years ago took up calmer residence in a five-room apartment on Chicago's South Side. It is a bachelor's flat-no curtains, orderly bookshelves and unobtrusive modern furniture. Three marriages have left Bellow with three sons, age 25, twelve and five, and three divorces. Herzog, which camped on the best-seller lists for a winter, brought him financial security, though -he cannot help remarking-it was praised for a lot of the wrong reasons: "topical, Jewish and political reasons...

...York, a bachelor dentist named Julian Winston (Walter Matthau) enjoys the benefits of a towheaded gamine, Toni Simmons (Goldie Hawn). How can he elude the marriage trap? Simple: by telling Toni that he is already bridled with a wife and saddled with three children. Suspicious, the mistress demands to see the wife. Winston persuades his spinster nurse, Stephanie Dickinson (Ingrid Bergman), to pose as Mrs. Dentist. Byzantine complications add a flush to Stephanie's sallow countenance, but the complications are purely formal. Once Bergman zeroes in on a male lead, the light comedienne should pack her gags...
