...from the courtroom by Judge Hardyn Soule for an intemperate outburst, seldom let go of her husband's hand or lost her demurely trusting smile. The mistress in this case was Wanda Ostby, 30, a comely housewife from nearby Bremer ton, whose testimony seemed genuine despite a tigerskin coat that plainly was not. Wanda had been one of Boehme's patients until, she said, she visited his office one day and "he no longer looked at me professionally...
...said the other surprise winner, Broadway's Barbra Streisand, who showed up in eighth place,* "she would have thought it was a grocery store in Brooklyn."

...Virtually overnight, Lewis' fee has soared from $2,500 to $6,500 for a one-week club date. "I'm doing things I never dreamed I'd be doing." Things like buying a new ten-room town house on Chicago's South Side, a mink coat for his wife, a $5,000 Steinway, like enrolling three of his school-age children (he has five) in a private school. As a result, he is Out with the In jazz crowd, who accuse him of "going commercial." Lewis could not care less. "Apparently they identify poverty with sincerity...
