...Miss Haber was trim enough to show her Donald Brooks suit off to best advantage, but her blue eyes had long since lost their little-girl luminosity; it was almost as if they had already seen so much they had turned to marble. Her face had that blowsy, drowsy look, the kind people get when they have slept too long, or not at all. These nights, sleep is scarce. Plopping down on a two-seater sofa in her workroom, Joyce explained: "This is really a Hide-A-Bed. I have to get up at 5:30 to do my column...
...Rona Barrett, a TV gossipist for the Metromedia stations. She watches the Barrett show with competitive pride. "Oh, that's all wrong," Haber will scoff at one of Rona's items.

Coffee in the Face. Two convicts, asked to act out the official version of prison life in one of several psychodramas, played a newly admitted inmate and a prison counseling officer. The "prisoner" complained that other convicts had tried to assault him homosexually, and the "counselor" smoothly assured him he would be transferred to a "safer place." At that, several convicts in the audience sprang to their feet. Safe havens do not exist within most prison walls, one cried. "It's a jungle.
