...engaged," moans a Texas coed, "my fiance wouldn't come over for our date until Combat was over." But when they do watch (in curlers and bathrobes that neatly match the underwear and sweatshirts being worn across the way in the frats), they watch Dr. Kildare and that "cute" David Janssen on Fuge. Vassar hard-core viewers categorically refuse to bring outsiders up to date on Peyton Place. And at most women's colleges, a few devotees check every lunch hour for the soap operas, no doubt preparing for life as a housewife...
...Whores Came Out to Play Tennis is a surrealistic love set: Arthur Kopit 6, Drama 0. Flashy and cute rather than craftsmanlike, Playwright Kopit lobs up pseudo profundities that he avoided in his fanciful Oh Dad, Poor Dad romp. The dramatic penury of the current play may be suggested by the fact that it relies for its climax on an offstage sound effect of prepubescent outhouse humor...

While Kuroki contends with a trigger-happy Buddhist, the American captain (Clint Walker) has to restrain a volatile young officer (played with unwarranted assurance by Singer Tommy Sands, Sinatra's son-in-law). The first meeting of G.I. and Jap ends with some cute business of swapping cigarettes for fish. There is a brief skirmish over a boat, but peace follows when Sinatra, as a drunken Irish medic, sobers up to treat the enemy wounded. "I'm a Band-Aid man," he quips, preparing to amputate a Japanese...
Model Wife. Bonnard's indoor art thrived on women. He loved them in awkward, innocent postures, when they let down their shields of glamor. Women for Bonnard were his wife, Marthe de Meligny, a cute midinette he met when he was 28. When they were married 30 years later, he found out that she was not aristocratic, only plain Maria Boursin, but his love never left...
