...book in question is U.S. Novelist Hubert Selby Jr.'s Last Exit to Brooklyn, a stomach-turning homosexual excursion, which the British government refused to act against on the theory that the book probably had literary merit. Balderdash, retorted Sir Cyril Black, a Conservative M.P., friend of Evangelist Billy Graham and watchdog of British public morals...
...Barnaby plops a tarantula on Uncle's chest-the spider falls happily asleep on Uncle's neck. The spider, as a matter of fact, is the only performer who manages to steal a scene from Actor Green, who comes across as the most stylish blackguard since Cyril Ritchard, as Captain Hook, got gobbled up by that slimy green clockodile...

Mr. Senelick (they've got no first names in the Genuine Antique program) breezes as Sir Foplin Flutter, looking like the Cowardly Lion, bantering in a voice that plummets and soars like Cyril Ritchard's.

The achievements and international standing of Encounter are scarcely conceivable without the influence of Stephen Spender's personal and literary authority...
...sugar mommies, raising cane by taking young boy friends. Latest to join in is Actress Jeanne Moreau, 38, who disappeared lately in the south of France with a 23-year-old lad named Theodore Roubanis, only to turn up in Paris last week with a more mature companion, Photographer Cyril Morange, 25. They are now blissfully ensconced in Jeanne's country house, and throughout France the middle-aged men are singing a variation on the old Piaf standard: Oui, je regrette quelquechose...
