...fourth playlet depicts the mating dance as a marathon. Frank (Richard Castellano) and Bea (Helen Verbit) have been shuffling around together for more than 30 years. They can't imagine anything else, and while they remember an occasional hurt, such as Frank's infidelity, they can scarcely recall a joy. Yet they are appalled that their son Richy (Bobby Alto) is breaking up with his wife Joan (Candy Azzara) after only six years of marriage. The elders try to patch things up. But incompatibility and compatibility are equally obscure. Richy's and Joan's reasons...
Among the 96 passengers debarking at Heathrow Airport from BEA's Lisbon-London Flight 75 was Ramon George Sneyd, who went to the Commonwealth immigration desk and presented his Canadian passport. The immigration official took one look at the document, then asked the bespectacled Sneyd to join him in a back room for some "routine" questions. The interrogation was far from routine.

He always carries a copy of the New Testament and lugs a soiled brown shop ping bag in which he always keeps such talismans as a dime-store compact (he uses pale Elizabeth Arden foundation makeup), two notebooks containing the lyrics of 500 songs, and, of course, his "dear, sweet" ukulele...
...more than perfunctorily. Bob Bush acts and sings, mostly sings, the part of Sid with more ease than one has right to demand in a community not known for its male leads, particularly of the musical variety. Josh Rubins gets the requisite number of laughs as Hines. And Bea Paiper, Pren Claflin, Chris Arnold and Shannon Scarry are supporting players who actually lend support. Miss Scarry, bigger than life, lends some-what more support than the rest...
