...point of plotlessness, the series romps through a tomato surprise of old tunes and new ones, comedy sketches and big production numbers. Old Pro George Burns helped tie together the opening-night proceedings with cigar-chomping asides and monologues. Another guest, Tony Randall, contributed a mix of roguish, debonair and fumbling antics. Other celebrities will appear in future weeks to goad the ingratiating team of Morse and Peaker along their song-and-dance journey through courtship and marriage. That's Life should live, if not happily ever after, at least for the TV season...
...hours before the race. The drug was actually administered by a veterinarian, Dr. Alex Harthill, who turns out to be something of a controversial figure. Although he is known as "the Derby Vet" for treating such former winners of the race as Carry Back, Northern Dancer and Lucky Debonair, Harthill has twice been implicated in drugging scandals. In 1954, he was suspended "indefinitely" (later reduced to 60 days) by stewards at Chicago's Washington Park for administering a stimulant to a horse that subsequently won a $25,000 stakes race. In 1956, he was acquitted by a New Orleans...
Divorced. Gary Grant, 64, suave, handsome, debonair, altogether Hollywood's perfect gentleman; by Dyan Cannon, 30, sometime actress (Broadway's Ninety-Day Mistress); after 32 months of marriage, one child; in Los Angeles.

Grant denied all through his lawyers (he is in New York, recovering from auto...
Died. Major General Sir Robert Laycock, 60, debonair, dashing leader of England's World War II commandos; of a heart attack; in Wiseton, England. The storybook image of a daring British commando, the tall, blue-eyed Laycock led his raiders through Crete, Syria, Sicily and Salerno, executed his boldest raid in 1941, when he landed on the Libyan coast, tried to kidnap Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, lost 48 of his 50-man party, and escaped across the desert, living for six weeks on little else but berries and rain water...
...extremely well-cast play, Dennis King as Disraeli is debonair and mellifluent, a prince of players who conveys the facility of the successful novelist as well as the astuteness of the statesman. James Cossins' Gladstone is a subtle creation, the portrait of an un compromising man doing an honest, thankless job for a sovereign who can not abide him. But the play belongs to Miss Tutin. In the final act, without benefit of makeup sorcery, she and Victoria edge into old age. The fatigue of existence enters her voice, slows her step, dims her eyes like a patina...
