Interestingly enough, Porter's "Kathy's Date," like his November "The Devil Will Spank" and "Grandfather," ends in a cemetery. Lest anyone suspect a graveyard school at South Street, Michael Hancher explains in a pompous and unnecessary editorial on "Advocate Policy" that there is no Advocate policy, that it prints anything that "achieves," and that the oversupply of cometeries and childhood recollections is purely accidental. "If the Advocate is not always a constant joy to read from cover to cover," he apologizes, "it is because writers and editors learn from mistakes." This issue should provide more than a modicum...
...Richter also worked. Returning to his old graveyard-shift practice schedule, he would emerge from his studio alone in the middle of the night, then wander down to a restaurant in Les Halles and eat platters of sea urchins fresh from the shore. Such excursions seemed enriching, and by the night of his first concert, Richter was ready with more than just music. Hoping to cast a sympathetic spell for his program of Chopin and Schumann, Richter adorned the Salle Gaveau stage with flowers, tapestries and a battalion of immense candelabra-a naive little gesture that welcomed disaster by suggesting...
...ideas about sentencing traffic violators. Pleading guilty to driving with a three-month-outdated license-"Too long a time to be an oversight," said the judge-Pat solemnly accepted her bizarre sentence.

But curiously, there are fewer this year. The infant mortality rate among television shows has gone into a slight decline. TV's mediocrity is apparently becoming institutional, and some programs are being kept alive for next season that would have been kicked into oblivion in the more ruthless years...
...warned before it is too late about the threat which is arising as a result of the monopolistic practices of the Newhouse interests." That same year, when Newhouse bought into two Springfield, Mass, dailies, Sidney R. Cook, treasurer and board member, promptly called the interloper "a menace" and "a graveyard superintendent" who "goes around picking up the bones?preying on widows and split families." Added Cook: "I can tell you this. Newhouse will never get into Springfield." Newhouse has not since set foot in the city...
