...legal age requirement for a Senator. While two police sergeants and a bevy of patrolmen directed traffic outside his nine-room house near the Charles River, he strode into his living room with his blonde, tanned wife Joan at his side. A young man held up large cue cards, and Ted faced a battery of microphones and television and newsreel cameras. Said Ted: "I make this decision in full knowledge of the obstacles I will face, the charges that will be made. Massachusetts must have a Democratic voice in the councils of the Senate-a voice that will be heard...

...like most musicals, Jeu de Pajame is most fun when everybody is on stage at once--between the songs there are, after all, an awful lot of crummy lines (the cue for "Small Talk" is that oh-so-memorable line "What's the matter, lover?"). And having come to this, I can now fling praise at Miss Cohen and at Thom Babe, the director. The big production numbers are awesome.

...dear old lady hobbling on a stick. But to make sure the show was boffo in the ratings race, Sinatra himself turned up. Knowing what was coming, Frankie had prudently dispensed with his toupee, leaving him barely recognizable to a large segment of his fans. Gallantly, on cue-schlopp-he took a pie in the face. Last week, following the leader, Clansman Tony Curtis showed up to get creamed...

...feverishly busy first weeks almost convinced the tao that Macapagal might eventually solve the nation's problems of corruption, unemployment, poverty. He seemed to be everywhere-at political conferences, on the waterfront to inspect goods confiscated by customs guards, wielding a billiard cue in the government press office, or in the chamber of the Philippine Congress, both of whose houses are dominated by the Nacionalista opposition. In his 72-minute State of the Nation address last week, Macapagal said, "It's wasted effort to steep the young in virtue and morality only to let them realize as they...
