...conversation in Isaac Newton's living room, with Newton, the Quaker George Fox, the artist Godfrey Kneller, James II, Charles I and three of his mistresses taking part. They talk about the state of the Anglican Church, the function of the monarchy, and the date of the Creation. This chitchat is followed by a second act in the form of a dialogue on the nature and purpose of kingship between Charles and his wife. The philosophy is all very interesting, but it would have been nicer if Shaw had included at least a plot to spice things...
Marvin is also something else, an ex-Marine who has given up hunting to help "conserve some of the species," an actor for whom Paint Your Wagon was not just a film but "a dream of a time when I should have lived." As he moved along the chitchat-and-canape circuit last week in his polka-dot shirt, Levi's and sneakers, he seemed more a displaced mountain man than movie star, a character created not by Logan but by Zane Grey.

News. The show, for which some 168 stations have been lined up (compared with Today's 195), now lasts a full hour and is called CBS Morning News with Joseph Benti.

At the very mention, his lips curl dourly: "I hardly even know the woman." He calls such chitchat "degrading" and again blames it on the star system resulting from "one man or two men appearing every day in the role of all-wise, all-knowing journalistic supermen. It is absurd." So absurd, he said in a Columbia University lecture honoring Elmer Davis, "that it may be that Huntley...
...wife, and two other married couples form the immediate entourage of a "dinosaur" of a film producer called K.L. They have fled their employer for a secret respite in Amsterdam, but they spend most of the evening talking about him and one another. Apart from the intramural shoptalk, the chitchat goes something like this. Dan: "Have you ever thought of airlines for homosexuals?" Laurie: "I say: what a splendid idea. You could call it El Fag Airlines...
