...middle initial). His appetite is so fierce that, given a choice between ten thousand dollars and a cookie, he opts immediately for the latter. There are other creatures on the show, like Bert and Erniehumanoids with cartoon hands, three fingers and a thumb. Bert, who has one frowning eyebrow, chivvies Mutt-and-Jeff style with Ernie, a bulbous-nosed charmer whose favorite sport is sitting in the tub, rhapsodizing to his rubber duckie.

It was a show of the kind of reserve that led Nixon to pick Bruce as chief negotiator at the Paris peace talks...
...Polly, the girl for whom romance blossoms in an elegant French 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. She is a winning girl with a saucy comic style and enough sizzling energy to set the floorboards smoking. All of the dance numbers are a delight, though they have been meticulously...
