...stocky, mustachioed Sicilian just off the grape treadmill, he is a muscle-brained Vulcan. Enraged to find his bride Venus cuckolding him with Mars, he exposes the pair in a hilariously crafty bungle. He is equally diverting as a Pygmalion who cannot get over how "real" his diaphanously clad Galatea is, a true lovely of a girl played by Mary Frann. Another splendid addition to the company is a lissome black dancer and actress, Paula Kelly, whose Circean seductiveness is apparent far past the footlights...
Bihari continued in the practice assigned him, feeling confident in the stature of his teacher. Later, at the suggestion of an Avadhuta, he saw Baha, the Guru, while on a vacation journey.

...Brigitte Bardot can take soccer or leave it, and she has always chosen the latter. In Paris last week, however, a French all-star team met Brazil's flashy Santos team, starring Pelé, the game's greatest player. Brigitte was coaxed into sprinting across the field, clad patriotically in blue sweater, red boots and tight white hot pants, to kick off the first ball. Her inspirational toe power prevailed. The French booters held the powerful Brazilians to a scoreless...
