...variety shows have also been mounted in the apparent belief that familiarity breeds contentment. Julie Andrews is back in a lavishly produced ABC series that began last week with-surprise-reprises of songs from My Fair Lady, Camelot, Mary Poppins, etc. Bill Cosby's CBS show so far seems even more low-keyed and less topical than his previous comedy material...
...liaison work for such disparate causes as President John F. Kennedy. Lyndon Johnson, Congressman Paul N. McCloskey (R-Calif.). and the Children's Foundation. In such capacities, Duly has earned tributes regularly reserved for God and Eleanor Roosevelt, drawing praise for scrupulous and blunt honesty while awing Washington's Camelot-prone denizens with a keen ability to persuade.

Kennedy used on occasion as the summer White House during the Camelot days-has now been listed for sale. "Too much of a burden to maintain," said a spokesman for Washington Stockbroker Hugh D. Auchincloss, Jackie's stepfather. Not that the Auchinclosses will find themselves with nowhere to lay their heads in Newport. Only the main house and 25 acres are on the market, leaving the family with about 45 acres and two other houses -not to mention caretaker cottages...
