After winning a dizzyingly publicized "talent hunt" for just the right Daisy in David Merrick's yet-to-be-made film version of The Great Gatsby, Mia Farrow does not intend to rest on her laurels-or her pretty face. Be fore she starts filming, Mia, who is getting $200,000 for Gatsby, is spending the time as Irina in Chekhov's The Three Sisters, with London's Company Theater. Her take: $60 a week...
...wished to construct a universe of plea sure and relaxation - like Matisse's "armchair for tired businessmen," but more so - and in this he succeeded. He was the natural heir of the finest decorators of the 18th century, Fragonard and Boucher.

A beer-swilling football fan issues periodic razzberries from the balcony, while from a front-row seat in the stalls an exasperated Establishment chap complains loudly about the dearth of any sense...
...real key to Harvard's strength, however, is not the first line, but the Crimson's offensive depth. Second line sophomores Randy Roth and Jim Thomas may get knocked around a little this year, but as skaters, stick-handlers and fore checkers, they make the second line a very potent unit, probably even better than Tommy Paul's line last year...
