...Riviera school for British girls, Judy Carne, of TV Laugh-In fame, makes a static stage debut. She arches an eyebrow here, kicks a leg there and sings a song on key, but mostly she seems to be placidly waiting for the show to carry her. Not so Sandy Duncan, who plays Polly's friend Maisie.

The workhouse pay rate is far too low to recompense a man-even a convicted one-for his labor, said the judge. He wisely declined to establish a new pay scale for prisoners. "This," he said, "is a legislative question." But some refused to wait. Cincinnati City Manager Richard Krabach issued an executive order setting $10 a day as the rate for those serving time, thereby releasing 98 prisoners who had already worked enough days to pay their fines...
