...performance almost as good by Marlowe, a 23-year-old TV actor. They play their parts-she has had three bad marriages and knows the wild luck of her new affair; he thinks this sort of thing will continue for the rest of his life. The cardboard plot grinds on to the boy's inevitable discovery of what his true love does for a living. When they break up, her grief is touching, and so is his ignorance. It should be added that Writer Burton Wohl's dialogue is excellent, even though his story is deficient. The lines...
Scattered on the floor like driftwood on a beach were inlaid sideboards, china cupboards and end tables. Marble busts stood in dusty splendor on all the tables and desks; mirrors leaned at odd angles against the walls. Art and antique magazines, cardboard cartons and discarded papers littered the room. The scene of this disarray was not Ye Olde Antique Shoppe, but the paneled office of White House Curator Mrs. James N.

...help Korea's starving peasants, many of whom have been forced to mortgage their crops at as much as 80% interest, Chang froze all loans bearing interest rates of more than 20% a year.

"The paintings uttered soft cries when they saw I was destroying them," sighs Miró. "But I wasn't angry at the canvases. I was angry at myself." Finally, the "catastrophe" over...
Seeing & Stretching. In 1907 she set up a school in Rome for obstreperous slum kids, using an arsenal of ingenious devices that moved from the sensory to the abstract. By handling and copying letters cut out of cardboard, the kids at four simply fell into writing and then reading. By feeling beads strung on wires in units of ten, they "saw" numbers and learned to compute in their heads. With the teacher acting only as guide, each child worked alone at his own little table or on a small rug, where he could lay out beads and blocks, and incidentally...
