...Harris avoids direct comment on the fact that most theater people consider her the most talented actress on the U.S. stage today. Besides, she adds, "it's bad form to talk about one's art. I just like to pin mine to a wall and watch it bleed...

As bad as the appearance are the possible complications: the veins often develop inflammation (phlebitis) and sometimes become infected; they may also become ulcerated, or break at a touch and bleed copiously...

The less raunchy lines are disposed of in rounds of verbal pingpong. Let Boyd say "My head is splitting" (ping) and Wife Elke Sommer is sure to answer "So is our marriage" (pong). Milton Berle, Joseph Cotten, Jill St. John, Peter Lawford and Edie Adams all prove expert...
