...wall of the cabana alongside Tommy Smothers' swimming pool in Hollywood Hills hangs a life preserver labeled S.S. Unsinkable. Lately, following his censorship dustup with CBS and the network's subsequent banishment of his music and comedy series, it has seemed rather out of place. But last week the Smothers Brothers bobbed up again, bound for the national airwaves. Unlike Joe Namath, they have not been persuaded to rejoin their old employer. They have beaten the ban by forming what amounts to an ad hoc TV network of their...
...during most of his appearances he seemed much less effective than in print. In one sketch, though, while playing an uncommitted delegate wooed by party girls at a hotel pool, Art got off his best line: "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the cabana." ABC scheduled nightly debates between the self-styled "Odd Couple," Conservative Editor William Buckley Jr. and Novelist Gore Vidal, whose latest book is the sex farce, Myra Breckinridge.

...gaudiness nothing quite compares with Dallas' Cabana motel, owned by the improbable combination of Doris Day and the Teamsters Union. Five fountains jet water 50 ft. into the air under red, yellow and blue lights. A life-sized lobby mural of naked Romans embroiled in orgy entices-or repels-the traveler. A Texan can stand tall on the lobby balcony, see 37 images of himself in gold-tinted mirrors. In his room he finds huge mirrors above his bed or covering an entire wall. Yet Dallas also has a good symphony orchestra that is pressing Houston...
