...Judy Carne, 29, from Northampton, England, played cabaret revues in London before coming to the U.S. in 1961 to star in the short-lived TV series Fair Exchange, The Baileys of Balboa and Love on a Rooftop. A spunky little pixie of a girl, she is the one forever getting drenched with water when she cries "Sock it to me!" Since she is presumably a little wiser now, the scripts go to elaborate lengths to get her to utter the deathless phrases. Now, when she appears as a geisha girl and says, "It may be rice wine...
...Rights. No one denies that Ray is being guarded with extraordinary zeal. Since his extradition from England last July, he has been kept in a third-floor cell in the Memphis courthouse, watched over by two ever-present deputies. Eight bright mercury-vapor lamps burn at all times. Two closed-circuit TV cameras are always trained on the cell. Except when Ray is conferring with his lawyer, a microphone listens in. Only one other murder suspect in the U.S. is currently being held under such strict security provisions. That man is Sirhan Sirhan, who will stand trial in Los Angeles...
...household. Yet he and his four readers have also played the role of arbiters of public taste, passing judgment on some 800 new scripts each year. Their esthetic qualifications have been uncertain at best. The present Lord Chamberlain, Lord Cobbold, 64, is a former governor of the Bank of England.

George Bernard Shaw once complained that the Lord Chamberlain "robs, insults, and suppresses me as if he were the Czar of Russia. I must submit in order...
Godless Actors. England's play censorship was established during the 16th century in order to stamp out Catholic stage resistance to the Reformation, as well as to protect the people from the bad influence of actors, who were generally held to be godless degenerates. Licensing became an official duty of the Chamberlain in 1737, when Prime Minister Robert Walpole grew so outraged by the political lampoons of Henry Fielding that he forced through a new censorship law. Since then, the Lords Chamberlain have had unchallengeable authority to ban plays by Ibsen (Ghosts), Shaw (Mrs. Warren's Profession), Pirandello...
Boycotted in Chicago. At least one thing can be said for the cover. It suits the spirit of the music inside. The album bristles with the brand of hard, raunchy rock that has helped to establish the Stones as England's most subversive roisterers since Fagin's gang in Oliver Twist.* It also stands in notable contrast to their previous album, Their Satanic Majesties Request, which ventured into the realm of electronic wizardry and psychedelic fantasy charted by the Beatles in Sgt. Pepper. Since that was an alien idiom for the Stones, they sounded pretentious and boring...
