Richard Nixon? Making jokes on a TV comedy show with a bunch of weirdos? You bet, as they say, your sweet bippy. Everybody and his myna bird wants to make a cameo appearance on Rowan and Martin's manic Monday night affair. It is the smartest, freshest show on television. President Johnson, Igor Stravinsky and Jean-Paul Sartre have not yet appeared at the stage door, but if they do, they'll just have to get in line behind Marcel Marceau, Bing Crosby, Pat Boone, Dick Gregory and Jack Benny. And they will do anything once they...
...several times. At one point the Senate went into a 1-hour and 40-minute recess owing to what Mansfield testily termed "a complex development." That development: Senator Allen Ellender's 78th birthday, which he marked by whipping up his annual luncheon of Louisiana creole gumbo for Lady Bird Johnson, Lynda Johnson Robb and other noted local la dies. A minor piece of farm legislation was before the Senate, and it could not proceed without Agriculture Committee Chairman Ellender...
...winner of more tournaments (27) than any sumo champ in history, Koki Naya, a half Russian, half Japanese who weighs in at 314 Ibs. and is known professionally as Taiho (loosely, "Giant Bird"), had a bad year in 1967.

...PEEEEE-pull, peepul who need PEEEEE-pullllll. . ." Barbra Streisand, the girl with the voice of a thrush and the beak of a toucan, is back in the musical that made her a household bird. She may have omitted an a from her name, but Barbra leaves nothing out of Funny Girl. Gags, production numbers, vaudeville mugging and tearstained love scenes receive the same manic stress and fervor. As in the Broadway show, when the jokes are good, Barbra displays the best timing East of Mae West. When Jule Styne's numbers are deserving-People, Don't Rain...
...good looking and a whiz at going up and down drainpipes. He suffers and feels for the sufferings of others: the lonely misery of a middle-aged slattern whose husband is doing time, the agony of a vixen caught in a trap. His girl (Judi Dench) is really no bird for a burglar. She is a slightly scruffy but sensitive young woman who is doing her best to raise a five-year-old illegitimate son by teaching art in the orphanage where she boards him and by selling encyclopedias on the side...
