Bitter Clash. Browning then called Dr. Joel Fort, a San Francisco practitioner in mental health. The prosecution hoped that he would offset the eminent defense psychiatrists, who supported Bailey's contention that Patty had been coerced by the S.L.A. into helping to rob the bank. An eye-catching figure with a shaved head, Fort clashed bitterly with Bailey; at one point, the two accused each other of lying. Fort testified that he had interviewed Patty for 15 hours, studied documents on the case for some 300 hours, and even spent an hour in one of the closets where...
...made most of his entries on scraps of toilet paper and smuggled them out through friendly guards. The best diaries are those that were never intended for publication: only those can provide access to the writers' most closely guarded secrets, their most revealing qualities. Spandau is written with an eye not only to acceptance by the contemporacy reading public, but also to Albert Speer's place in history. Nothing appears in it that might endanger either...
Prints are unappreciated creations. But this vast and varied collection, the Print-makers' annual effort at reaching the public, is a winner. The exhibit is an eye-opener; the unrealized possibilities of the graphic medium are wrung through an infinite series of changes in technique and theory.

What seems to bring Tots in Tinseltown slightly above the horizon of mediocrity isn't really a coherent whole: the art-deco sets by Frank Colavecchia, especially the backdrop for Preston Folded's Hollywood home; a few of the costumes by Barry Odom--one eye-catcher was Henna Hoofer's feathery outfit for the imaginary movie number, "Pigeons of My Heart"; and Ronald Melrose's music, which goes so far as to include an anomaly of sorts in Tots, a serious lost-love song called "Minus Me." All this floats around in a melange of parody and self-parody that...
