...Washington Post ran a calm editorial the day after the Montgomery speech, characterizing it as "temperate and thoughtful . . . and in no way menacing on its face." There is indeed plenty to criticize about contemporary U.S. journalism-all the more so because the press and TV make little effort at self-criticism or self-examination. In fact, some of the vulnerable areas were not touched upon by the Vice President...
Managements face the difficult question of where a reporter's civic right to be involved in politics ends and his journalistic duty to be fair and detached begins. Many young journalists have been raised in an atmosphere of advocacy, and are not willing to accept the traditional rules about journalistic detachment. When Agnew prescribes a "high wall" between comment and news, he makes a hoary, oversimplified demand for what is impossible-"objectivity." But questions of journalistic fairness and variety or uniformity of opinion are valid issues for debate. The U.S. press, far from feeling intimidated, ought to welcome Agnew...
...funniest scene of the evening is a birthday party for the father, with the ceiling festooned with frankfurters, and a cake shaped like a chopping block. The father vows that he will not touch the cake. Grudgingly, he accepts a piece, bites skeptically into it, whereupon his face unclouds with delight as he discovers that the cake is made of meat. Moments like that are rare in a season, let alone a play, and they make Who's Happy Now? a minor treasure...
...attraction. Clad mainly in animal hides and bikinis, brandishing her publicity photos like the jawbone of an ass, Raquel set about five years ago to hold off the entire critical elite of cinema and conquer mankind through Hollywood. Now only 29, she has enjoyed extraordinary success. Her brooding, aquiline face and brimming, arabesque body (37-22-35) have launched thousands of picture spreads. The mere mention of her name (or the sight of it, in endless Laugh-In balloon gags) is high-premium chuckle insurance for every TV and nightclub humor writer in the land. After 15 films that range...
...Havilland's baby in Gone With the Wind. He later played Ma and Pa Kettle's ninth kid, changed his name from Smith to Curtis (after his boyhood hero, Tony). When he was 13 he landed the TV role of Buzz in Leave It to Beaver; his eternally boyish face and buck teeth allowed him to keep the part for six years. Patrick wanted to get into the production end, though. He eventually wound up with Rogers and Cowan, a show business p.r. firm, and waited for his own break...
